How stupid that we pay $21k, and that's on top of the extra costs to ship here etc. As you alluded to, all to protect an industry that literally does not exist with no Australian cars or factories...

It is 100% money grab by the Fed Gov. Until the media pay any attention they will continue with it. It all needs a media campaign with the industry body is non existent with.

LCT is a joke - these days there are people out there paying $70K - $140K for a ute!!!!

Great idea

Yes I did but it was a bit difficult to swing as you need to be part of a corporate program to get it. Otherwise you need to work it into your discount.

BMW Dealer confirmed this for me today "We have heard back from product development who have sent out a bulletin confirming this. There is currently a worldwide shortage of semi-conductors (silicone chips) which is rapidly impacting many industries including automotive. As a temporary measure BMW have removed extended smartphone connectivity including wireless charging as standard specification across a majority of BMW models including new G80 and G82 M3 and M4. This also means the removal of BMW Digital Key. This restriction commences from July 2021 production and is ongoing until further notice."

Hi gents,

Can I ask how you guys managed to order the Xdrive's?? All the dealers are saying that I can't order till July. Are you guys getting your allocations as well or just the initial deposit that you have down only?
I'm in Sydney, Where are you based, will put you in touch with my dealer in Vic. Just got a build date of the 2nd week in July.

I ordered a G82 xdrive last week and have a build date of first week of July too ! From a Sydney dealer. It was one of two slots they had apparently. Confirmed my order on Tuesday and the build date was bought forward to the first week of July.

I also have no wireless charging because of the chip shortage.

If you are a member of the AICD you apparently get a $4K discount and 3YR servicing.

I'm not and I did not know they received these benefits. Interesting…
