BTW: For your M ... i think Berea City in PTA has faily good allocations on the M3 ... give em a try ... and you in PTA also ... Speak to Alwyn Jansen

EDIT: I ordered the Z4M from him and did not take it and the E92 and E93 is from Alberante
The status thing is a little confusing... on the time estimate, they tend to estimate more days than necessary.... I suppose they are factoring in unexpected delays.... I remember that I got my E90 a lot earlier than what they originally told me... so, let's hope yours will also be earlier than that ridiculous 16 days from the Distribution Centre.

Thanks for the suggestion regarding Berea City... however, I was thinking about Auto Bavaria in Midrand... the reason is that I prefer to buy from where I will service my car... it makes it easier to get a courtesy car, should a need arise.... as it tends to happen with the early production cars.

I've gotten disappointed with some of the Pretoria dealerships... such that I only service my car in Midrand... OK, admittedly I have not dealt with Berea City/Club Motors Berea because they are a bit far from me.

Midrand works out fine since it's on my way to and from work... I stay in PTA but work in Joburg... so far, I have been impressed with the service in Midrand... and they managed to sort out issues that my nearest dealership in Pretoria repeatedly failed to resolve.... not to mention the "I don't care" attitude fom the Service Manager himself there.

However, I will try Alwyn Jansen in Berea if the waiting list in Midrand is too long.

All the best with the wait... i know how difficult it is.... as you already know, your E93 is worth the wait.
