congrats. Sorry to break it to you though. I saw the same car at a local dealer lot. If you want it faster, do a dealer locate. They have a pretty large supply. 2nd. Call around. Don't rely on the same dealer. I got $4100 off MSRP on mine (although it was a special circumstance) but many people have been seeing about at least $3000 without haggling. Finally. Why trade it in. You're only getting a little over $9000 for the car? You can do MUCH better than that.

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!!!!!

not true. That's horseshit. It's a 9 week wait for order not 5 months for coupes. You're either at a dealer with no allocation or they are lying to you.

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.

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.

I had my dealer locate the car I wanted last year so that I did not have to wait.
Nice combo but light beige leather will be tough to maintain clean, especially around drivers seat by door you will notice wear within few months. I like this interior and looks great in person.

This is just what I heard from E90post. My dealer didn't say anything about it though.

I've got mixed feelings about the Saddle. Sometimes it looks too orangey, sometimes it looks great. I'm just going with a safe bet. Gray seemed too boring, although I had that in the X5 and loved it. Black is too dark. I have black now and I don't like it. Ideally I would have loved the Jade Gray, but it's only available in Canada. It's a very light gray with a hint of green, and it's got the same 2-tone with Black interior as a Saddle interior.
