The order is IN!!!!!
 

Today we went to Tulley BMW and placed the finalized order for the new car, and put down the deposit.

The car is as follows:
2007 BMW 335i Coupe
6-speed manual
Montego Blue
Cream Beige Leather
Light Poplar Wood
Sport Package
Premium Package
Comfort Access
Navigation w/ iDrive
Park Distance Control
MSRP: $48,170
With the trade value of the E46, and a discount they gave us for being good customers, we're going to get it for a grand total of only $38,000!
That's $2,600 under the MSRP base price of a 335i coupe.
So some time on or around June 7, 2007.. I will be driving off the lot in my beautiful new car!!!!!

:D :D :D :driver:

Damn nice sounding car. Good luck with this one. I love that color. Definitely post some pics.

Lucky dog! Can't wait to see the pics.

Excellent combo CJ - congrats!

So why is it going to take 6 months to come in???

If you have to wait that long you should have done euro delivery and saved even more...... either way...... will be a nice ride..... I drove one just like you ordered a few weeks ago............. incredible power......... just not a fan of turbos yet (long term life worries me)...... My brother had an Audi A6 2.7 twin turbo..... turbo went south at 52K and he had the CPO warranty......... they claimed he ran low grade fuel which caused it to go out and wouldn't cover it.....BS.... they wanted 4K to replace it.

There is a +/-5 month wait on the 335i coupe anyway. Apparently BMW way underestimated the demand for the new coupe, because the E46 coupe sold one unit for every 9 sedans sold. And the demand for the larger engine is slowing things down, too, because they only have so many and they're also putting them in the sedans.. Mine is taking a little longer because my mom wanted it to come just as I finish finals, just as I'm graduating.

I didn't want to do Euro delivery. We've done it before, on our Volvo. But I don't like the idea of waiting 5-6 months for the car to be built, then drive it over there, and wait another two months for it to come back home. I'm a little concerned because I've heard some stories of 335i engines "blowing up" and having overheating issues, but those seem to be early-production issues. Anyway, I'm very excited! I'll post pics when it comes in.

I was originally going to order Barbera Red, the dark red that is available on the 6- and 7- series. That goes into production in March, and my salesman told me he'd have trouble ordering it. I love the Montego anyway. I liked the light beige in the coupe. It's different than that in the sedan. I didn't like the Saddle.. too orange, too much contrast with the rest of the interior, which is black.

I'll try and post some pics later on tonight from E90post of a similar combo.

sounds sweet. Let see those pics when it comes!

Fineazz ride, CJ...
Especially a "ride off to college car". :thumbup:

I walked around campus, (and hitched home
and back), the first year & half, and then I got
a '62 Beetle, and I don't mean John. :D

GL,mD

Congrats CJ...I bet you're looking forward to Summer more than I am. :thumbup:
