I have the VIN and have downloaded the manual so I have enjoyed reading that ( a few hundred times).

My car was ordered on September 8th and came off assembly on the 24th November in Steyr Austria. It then arrived at the wharf about 2 weeks later and there it sits.

I contact my dealer about once a week for a update. He is also frustrated as to why it's taking so long. Guess he wants to get paid for it too.

I don't think that many BMW's are sold in Australia so I presume they are just waiting for a ship load to be ready before the load it aboard. Not sure if Merc or other brands are shipped from there. I would suspect they would.

The way things are going however I may have the first MY20 complianced car on the forum.
