Just got a call from -------- BWM, Phoenix AZ. I was told that they're starting to take orders next week for an estimated ship date towards the end of Feb 2012. I was also told that he'll send me a US brochure next week.

Anyone has spoken to your local BMW dealer about ordering?

Needless to say, I am super excited.

Edit: Decided to leave out the dealership information. Not sure if it may cause problems for them.

Will they have pricing and options package details then as well?

Curious to know if there's any discounts.

Absolutely, will do. However, I think we'll have more leaked information before I get my hands on the pricing/details.

Don't count on it. I ordered an '07 E93 in its second month of allocations - no pricing yet available at that time.

I don't understand. How can you order a vehicle without pricing? I'd like to know what the price is before purchasing a $40k vehicle! I guess they just book your name in the production que?

WTF is going on with the ordering!!!! Just called my guy to tell him im coming in thursday to order the car. He tells me i cant order it yet.

When I see build your own on the USA site I will believe it.

[justinnum1]

Dont understand why my dealer cant take my order, they are building them, i have the ordering guide, i have the prices. :mad: I dont want to have to wait till january to place my order, that would mean i get my car in march or april.

I put in a pre-order a couple weeks ago and have a production number and ED delivery date assigned. It's still not a firm order as that isn't required for ED until closer to production time (at least that's my understanding - this is my first ED). But I don't see why you couldn't go ahead and order now...

I'd say the important thing is to have your CA get your order in the "Order Bank", which should claim you a spot in the production queue even if the full details of the order can't be done yet.

Yea, i think thats what he mentioned, i guess i thought, since i have the pricing and ordering guide, he would have that also. But i will probably just give the deposit and get put on the list and wait till i can select my options. Thanks

Curious what you decide. I'm stuck on the suspension as well. Currently thinking just sport suspension as I like the traditional firm BMW suspension...but tough call though!

Yea, i had sport suspension on my 335, and it wasn't adaptive. I loved that suspension, nice and stiff and sporty when i need it to be, but smooth on the highway. The only benefit i see the adaptive suspension having is the 4/10 inch drop. I will most likely pass on this option. I am having a harder time with this variable ratio steering. For 300 bucks its one of those "why the hell not" but i have no clue what the standard is like, or the new one, just a tough one.
