Yeah I have watched this and shown it to so many people. Poor M3, stupid kid. Too many blind corners out there to be going as fast as he did.

Hey Guys! I am a proud new owner of a 2012 328i Mineral Gray Sport with Premium Package. I picked it up from North Scottsdale on 8/12 and I love it. I traded in a 2011 Kia Optima SX Turbo.

My car arrived at the dealer yesterday. I talked to my CA when I saw the status update, but it was not able to be tinted before the installer left for the day. No big deal since I asked for the A.S.S. last user mode to be updated as well. I'm leaving work early on Monday to take delivery.
Since patience isn't a virtue of mine, I ended up taking a drive and just happened to end up at Chandler BMW ( I live in N. PHX). My CA took me up to see my car and I had my 17mo yr old sit in the back seat to give me his opinion. He seemed to approve. CA told me that if I really wanted to, I could take the car and then bring it back to have the tint installed and software updated. As much as I wanted to, I declined. I live 44miles away from the dealership and want to get everything done at the same time. This is going to be the longest weekend of my life. |

In the meantime, I'm tidying up my garage in preparation of its new resident. That should keep me busy for a few hours hopefully. |

I'm thinking of joining the BMW CCA and wanted to see if anybody local is a member. If so, let me know what your member # is and I will use you as a referral. From what I am told it would register both of us into for a M-Performance driving school.

Here she finally is:
Went ahead and got 20% tints done all around (except the front windshield visor which is 5%). Will be getting opticoat done this Friday. Initial impressions: I am totally blown away by the power of this car. For some weird reason, this car feels noticeably peppier than the car that I test drove 2 months back. This is not just me me but also my friend felt the same who test drove the same car. HUD is awesome. Basic HiFi system is much better than I expected, so will be keeping it for some time. idrive is powerful but complex -planning on getting a PHD in idrive system by the end of next year. The only thing I did not care about is the really thin steering wheel (in spite of being heated). I'm now looking out what I could do about this. |

Hey guys, anyone have the A.S.S recoded yet or plan on doing it? If so what dealer did you take it to or plan to take it to? I was just wondering since I bought my car at N. Scottsdale, but plan on going to Chandler for service. I've read some posts on this board claiming some dealers were unaware of it or couldn't do it for some reason. Any input is appreciated.

I'm getting the opticoat done through "windows and wheels". Their web site is windowsandwheels.com. Contact person is Will. The work will start tomorrow morning and will take about 6-7 hours for two of them. I'm just crossing my fingers that they do a good job. Last edited by rallybull; 09-06-2012 at 08:57 PM.. |
