just notice this thread... I'm still waiting for a set of solid black for myself and a set of pepper white for maaij, in a sort of patient disgruntled way.

edit: Has anyone phoned Dale recently to find out what's going on? I thought about calling him but it's not his fault so I didn't bother. Just wondered if anyone had been gived a revised date.

Sure they will be worth the wait though

Rich_IX · Jun 29th, 2005, 10:40 PM

I haven’t phoned Dale no point in bothering the poor guy, he will get them sent out as soon as he receives them im sure

very true, I would like to call him, but like you say, he'll let us know once he has them

Rayman · Jun 30th, 2005, 10:47 AM

I phoned Dale on monday, he just said everything that already been said on here really, that they are sending them out as they come in and they ring us once they are on the way!
Thats about the jist of it, lets hope we get them before July is out, cant see it!

Nippy · Jun 30th, 2005, 11:14 AM

I wonder if Prestons have called BMW in Germany to see what the timescale is going to be now?

Phantom · Jun 30th, 2005, 11:40 AM

I was hoping to have mine on for the Cotswolds, wishful thinking now I think

Not recieved here yet either......

Hi everyone

I have just read this thread again. I am shocked that so many people have not had their side skirts yet. What are BMW playing at!!

I know many people have said this but the wait will be worth it as it totally transforms the look of the car, for the better. I am very happy with mine (sorry)

Hang in there guys and gals

Keep smiling!

Silence..........................................

?25% of order delivered
The dealer is embarressed and blames BMW-no pronouncement from BMW.

WTF

Nippy · Jul 4th, 2005, 11:15 AM

Sorry rentagas changed yours over to definately not recieved.

Sooperlids · Jul 4th, 2005, 12:05 PM

Would have thought Prestons's would maybe offer to get unpainted ones & get them sprayed locally by now

Appaling service on the part of BMW

Trophy160 · Jul 4th, 2005, 12:08 PM

Hmm.

Is there any value in calling mini customer services to find out what's going on.
A number a queries to them about the same problem should flag something up
regarding the problem. Or will this cause further problems

Olly. · Jul 4th, 2005, 12:21 PM

I wouldn't suggest contacting MINI customer services is the best idea. From memory Button It contacted them to find out what price they could do when trying to find a dealer for this group buy. MINI said they do not want group buys going on basically.

We don't want to get Dale or the dealership in trouble as they are obviously doing us a great deal here.

If you wanna find out whats going on it might be worth one perosn contacting Dale for an update.

onemini · Jul 4th, 2005, 12:24 PM

Just received a set of pepper white for Maaij.... please update.

Nippy · Jul 4th, 2005, 12:32 PM

Something's got to be done really it can't go on like this 10 weeks later. It wouldn't be so bad if we knew a date that the skirts would be here by or what's going on exactly, we just don't have any information at all!!

List updated..

Nippy · Jul 8th, 2005, 11:13 AM

Don't forget to leave your name when you recieve yours skirts!

Rakey · Jul 8th, 2005, 11:51 AM
