Congrats to all those picking up new M3's today! After the excitement wears off and you've changed undergarments, first impressions post on here please!

Please update if they get back to you & how you go. I’ll do the same as we both have similar order date & delivery centre.
Im no goegrapher but dont the cars have to go thru the gong to get from port kembla to old sydney town?

Yup, PK is just south of the gong. Maybe 1.5hrs by truck to Sydney. ACT is only 2.5hrs by road from PK.
I honestly suspect they didn't notice the night before, hadn't refreshed properly, issue with the app or their phone, etc etc
The fact that there's only a few who are saying they got this, when we have quite a large number the night before and large numbers immediately after the return to work from Christmas just doesn't support the idea that they sent a few out on the morning of Christmas day.

Maybe it’s a 2-part process. Delivery centre actions, system trickle feeds them out once actioned within a set timeframe.
No shortage of speculation on here
Just sent out an email to the ACT manager. I've asked if he can comment on the possibility that our vehicles are on the Don Juan or if Canberra customers (and potentially other locations) have missed out and need to wait on the next ship. Also asked if he can confirm that the VIN assignments are handled on a delivery centre level which would explain customers receiving a VIN within a week while others in other cities are still waiting etc.

Great work, keep us in the loop! Very curious to hear what he says.

just as another data point, when we ordered out Model Y (LR/Blue/white/19) in September, we received a VIN the same day and had the car 10 days later. Can only assume it was something they ordered for stock or a cancelled order by someone else and we just got lucky.

Possibly Viking Passama which has already departed for Australia
I haven't looked too hard yet, hopefully he'll let us know if that is the case.
I really think it's the DJ though, if they've loaded it with 5800+ vehicles I can only imagine that would cover all of the orders plus some. I really still suspect it's individual smaller delivery centers being too busy/slack (understandable at this time of year and even more so when you add in all the complications with stink ship etc).
