Harry Donating Members 13 Member For: 16y 9m 5d Gender: Male Location: Christchurch NZ Posted 01/06/08 12:21 AM Share Posted 01/06/08 12:21 AM Hi Guys Well here in Christchurch NZ we now have an new F6 demo --just arrived and available for driving; Even the dealer was surprised,-- it just turned up on a transporter and they were not expecting it; All good news as he rang me and I have a test drive booked for tomorrow. I will compare as I have a 06 BF F6 fully optioned with the 19" wheels and bigger brakes. 'Also mine is still in standard tune so it will be a fair comparison.It looks like NZ has their cars ahead of Ausy as I can now buy the G6e turbo at the same dealer. Will check out what else available tomorrow and advise. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they only started making the (T’s) on Friday, I doubt they are available? Please prove me wrong…I have asked Avon for the SIDO No. on my vehicle.

I will fill in details after seeing it tomorrow and will take some pics.Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe they are 'sale stock' however factory demo... I would assume the one in NZ is a demo only also...???????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
