Send pics! (especially of the LED rings!)

That's why they call BMW. Not Sh*tcedes.

What they did was give me a new car and swapped the VIN's on the financial agreement. It is knda like I was prepaying on a 2012 and they gave me a new 2011 as a temporary car till it was built. Super win for us. Not to mention the 6600 miles we put on the old one. I have some pics and will post them tonight

I'm sure you mentioned it already, but what was the issue with your 2011 50i?

The CA and Key system was all messed up. The car settings would not associate with a specific key and it would randomly pic the settings. After reading the 10+ pages of report, this was the tip of the problems. They found ghost keys in the system which could not be removed or were registered with BMW. There were seat errors, and voltage irregularities in the car. Took them 60+ days for them to not figure out why they could not fix it.

I almost wish I can find something wrong with my 1 month old 2011 50i so I can get the 2012. So frustrating.

Indeed, I hate it when a company forces you to buy their product even though you know (or ought to know) the new model is right around the corner. So frustrating.

Congrats!

new to the e70s, but aren't the 11 and 12 models similar? Besides the 350hp vs 400hp engine, what else changed?
