Confession - I was @ Bunnings today with the missus, in the carpark there were VW, Audi, BMW ... and yet I could not take my eyes off my car.  Just beautiful.

Yeah sad but truth  :happydance:

I'll tell you a story.. I got my car on 30th June 2017. My Wife was disappointed I trade our 3 year old Holden Calais V for it.

She said she didn't really like the styling, etc...

Anyway, one of our first outings was to a local supermarket. When we came out a guy about 40 and smartly dressed was staring at our car with an admiring look (not many on the road back then) He said to my wife "is this your car" "just beautiful, this company has come such a long way, I thought it was a Lexus until I saw the badge!"

I'm sure Trish thought I had tee'd the whole think up and paid him $$$  :crazy1: :happydance:

I was out with friends most of the day yesterday who came up to Perth to buy a 2018 BMW hatchback 2ltr turbo 8sp auto, I nearly talked him into the PD Premium across the road till the BMW salesman came back with a fully optioned M division version of the BMW they were looking at but was a dealer demonstrator with 2000km's on it for 40k down from 79k :Shocked: they must be really hitting hard times to knock that much of a new model :undecided:

That is $39k discount? Are you sure that thing doesn't have a re-condition engine or some other faults?   That is crazy discount, or is that the cost price.  Darn BMW and their markup :P

I wouldn’t think so with only 2000k’s on it, had every conceivable option you could get - sport brake package - sunroof - performance engine package - premium sound system package with Apple Car Play, I couldn’t believe Car Play is actually a $695 option with BMW :Shocked: - premium leather interior package and full interior/exterior ceramic coating protection, option list price for that was 3k alone  :crazy1:

I just hope they have better luck with it than the older BMW hatch they currently have which has been a dud since day one though was private bought and they never did there homework on the vehicle :disapp:

They’re obviously struggling for sales :undecided: though while we were there a Chinese couple came in with their 17 year old son to buy him his first car...110k later and the spoil shit had an spanking new coupe  :head_butt:
