Hi,
This is my first post (and English is not my first language – so don’t be harsh) Idea was to replace my Golf GTI (MK6) (picture below) with BMW 125i F20 with M Sport, M Sport Brakes and alarm in Mineral Grey or Black Sapphire. … and I was quoted $60K plus (explanation - I am in Perth) Quote:
As I am putting my GTI on the Market I have to make decision: BMW 125i or MK7 GTI. Only option regarding BMW is to buy it from Sydney…. so long story short – can you share with us (or me) your dealer and sales person contact details? Anyway Thank you mirsad Last edited by mir; 08-13-2013 at 02:35 AM.. |

I've started looking at insurance quotes prior to the arrival of my M135i and have noticed that all the insurers have two options of model;
- 2013 BMW 1 M135I F20 MY13 TURBO F/IN 5D HATCHBACK - 2013 BMW 1 M135I F20 TURBO F/IN 5D HATCHBACK I was wondering if anybody knew the difference? When I do the quote for the second option (ie no MY13 in description) the quote comes out slightly cheaper and I notice that the default market value they come up with is lower. My guess is that the MY13 option is referring to 2013 built cars, whereas the other option may be for 2012 built but 2013 registered? Last edited by Arrow29; 08-11-2013 at 09:52 AM.. |

The automatic and manual are the same price now.The pricing on the BMW website is an error I believe, I think I remember somebody saying the RRP is supposed to be $64,990 (not $63,569 as on the website) and when I was shopping for mine the drive away pricing for a car with no options was closer to $74k. Unfortunately those kind of prices don't seem to be possible in Perth, most likely by virtue of a lack of competition between dealers. This is speaking from my own recent experience and some others I've communicated with. There are discounts to be had here, but not in that order. It may be worth getting some quotes from over East if you have the patience, however keep in mind you will have to pay for transport and I received 4yrs free servicing through my dealer here, which would likely not be possible if buying from over East. The reason for the cheaper standard drive away pricing over East is largely due to the stamp duty differences (WA has one of the highest, if not the highest stamp duty in the nation) and possibly higher dealer delivery fees. Good luck! |

Hey Arrow, thanks for the reply. First off, thanks the heads up on the transmission prices being the same, I didn't realise.
I was speaking to a mate yesterday and he told me that one guy owns both BMW dealerships over here. So there's not going to be much competition between them me thinks... I have no problem buying from over east (bought my last M3 privately from Qld). But, can someone explain what happens with stamp duty if I purchase from dealer? Will I have to pay one lot over east and another lot when I register the car here?? I might PM Siin as well, seems his broker can do quite nicely from what I just read... |

My understanding is that you would buy the car from the dealer over East without on road costs added, transport the car to WA and then pay the on road costs (stamp duty etc) to register it here. But Siin would know far more than me!
I was initially going to buy over east, but ended up getting a deal I was happy with here plus did a trade in on my car which would have likely taken a while to sell privately. Hope you find a good deal |

Gents, I've got no problem in posting an excerpt from my invoice to prove I'm not mucking around here.
My pre-July build I drove away at $69k. The s/duty is only paid once whether you register/pay in one state or another and then transfer it to another state. It is possible to buy a car with a permit & get it freighted interstate but the 'delivery' generally needs to be at the dealer you buy through. Happy to help where I can |

Thanks for the info Siin, I certainly wasn't doubting your deal, just wanted to make that clear Not sure if posting invoices on here is allowed or not, mind telling me what options you have? I'm just trying to figure out how I can get the best deal on an M135i. From what I can figure from the very confusing (at least to me), I only want M Adaptive, and the Comfort & Premium sound packages. Also, am I reading it right that an alarm system is a cost option?

Use the $66,500 base, add the options (I've posted the price list in the forum) and take at least 6% off the exGST & LCT price. The alarm is an option but for the security that these cars have, unless you live in a dodgy area (I'm assuming not else you wouldn't be buying a BMW) then do you need it? I did look at it from an insurance discount view but my insurance $$ wasn't going to change and I was told its a dealer fit item, almost 'aftermarket' |

Hi all,
With the recent price cuts, I'm now in the market for an M135i. Have been quoted pricing that equates to 8-9% off full retail driveaway prices. I am in Melbourne and eligible for the corporate programme. I've been targeting 15% off, but all the dealers have been saying that with the price cuts, a lot of their margin has been eroded away also. Would appreciate any advice, or contacts. Also, I've been getting a bit of inconsistent messages from various dealers regarding interior colour schemes. I like the Oyster dakota leather, but not cream carpets etc. Anyone know if the Oyster leather comes with a black interior or an Oyster interior on the M135i? If the interior also has to be Oyster, I think for practical reasons, I'll just go with black. |

Oyster interior on the M135i comes with oyster trim as well. You can't have it with the black trim.
So the options are: - Oyster/Oyster - Black / Black - Coral / Black I went for Oyster coz I've always liked lighter interiors more than all dark, just my preference. Saw a different model 1 with it and thought it made the cabin feel more spacious / luxurious, but I understand the practicalities point! |

Bummer. Are your floor mats Oyster too? Here's one on carsales that already shows quite a bit of dirt: http://www.carsales.com.au/CarStockG...x=4&mode=popup
Goes well with the fineline wood though. Anyone have anything to add on pricing? Will probably drop into a dealer tomorrow (Sat). Last edited by he3at; 08-16-2013 at 08:29 AM.. |

Unfortunately for me the car comes in black trim, a grey trim would have been awesome. |

Have to say I really like the wood trim on this hybrid 3 series, gives the cabin an extremely organic feel. However, I don't think it works with the rest of the trim they've specced on this vehicle. Anyone know what the trim is? Doesn't look the same as the wood trim that's available for the 1 series.
http://www.carsales.com.au/demo/deta.../?Cr=0&sdmvc=1 EDIT : Found it, fine wood "Fineline Pure" textured, I quite like that. Not available on the 1 series though. Back to normal transmission... Last edited by kook; 08-17-2013 at 02:46 AM.. |
