Just wondering...anybody know what this pre-delivery inspection is all about? Why does it take TEN days?

delivery to subcon do their tint, wash and wax, need to check the car's condition prior to handing over to you - meantime the SE settle paperwork for the OMV, VIN registration, insurance etc lor :singsing:
it might take shorter than that tho, 10 days is quite a stretch unless includes the weekends (not working days). When my F30 clears the port on a Fri, I got it the following Wed :smack:

Re: F30 pls Owners Come In
Would like to report that the F30 328i luxury standard suspension is really good and sufficient for all intents and purposes (except track perhaps). The F30 suspension may seem a bit on the soft side and leans a little in turns but it really sticks to the line and goes whereever it is pointed to. Took my car for a spin through the South Buona Vista run at rather high speeds yesterday (with nobody in front of me finally) and the tail never once stepped out nor was there any protest or even a bit of noise from the standard Pirelli tires. Totally neutral handling. This is really a great car indeed. BMW has a winner on its hands.

Very good to hear positive comments on the F30. BTW, there are no tyre screeches bcos the Traction control is doing its job. Try to disable the traction control fully. You can induce some tail happy fun but in a safe manner of cos.
Cheers!

Re: F30 pls Owners Come In
Yes I know about turning off the traction control. My old E90 LCI screeched loudly doing the same road at much lower speeds with traction control on (although I must say it had skinnier tyres). But that road is too narrow to allow the tail to slide out even a little in case I have to do a mid-corner correction because of on-coming traffic crossing into my lane (think SBS bus). I don't want my rims to suffer any more damage. Well my wife in the first week of driving our new car scraped the left rear rims while turning in a parking lot. She did the exact same thing at the same turn 3 years ago with my E90! Urrrrrrrrggggggg.
