Manaco Blue with Black leather will look awesome!
Thanks! I saw the Monaco Blue in the 3-series brochure and was sold on the color, and then saw the black/aluminum trim combo in there too. Saw the colors at the dealer (not on the same car, unfortunately) and was very happy

I placed an order on 5th of September. Luckily I was included in the Sept. quota of my dealer so i'm taking delivery next week (39/09/2005). Oh BTW I live just a stone's throw from Munich.

I passed by the dealer yesterday and was told that it is in prod'n. They gave me my chasis no already. Do you think I should start chilling the champagne already?

Looking forward to post some pics in this forum....

For some reason, I thought it would be entertaining, or at least pass the time, to document my experience with the ordering process. Other's would call it OCD. Either way, here's what's happened to me over the past month or so:

8/18 Ordered Car. Received production number on Owner’s Circle. Scheduled for production.

8/25 Dealer: BMW production started 8/25, can't add Comfort Access.

9/2 Phone: Vehicle is in production, complete 9/9. Received VIN #

9/7 Phone: In body shop, complete 9/9

9/8 Phone: In paint shop, complete 9/9

9/9 Phone: In transit to port of exit

9/10 Phone: Production complete. Awaiting release to carrier.

9/12 Dealer: Emailed that car is built and on its way soon

9/13 Phone: Status changed back to In Transport to Port of Exit.

9/14 Phone: Vehicle is at port awaiting shipping vessel. No shipping info yet.

9/14 Owner’s Circle: Now Awaiting Transport

9/20 Phone: Car is in transit.Think it's on the NYK Auto Banner, scheduled into Port Hueneme on 10/16/05.

9/21 Owner’s Circle: En Route

First post here. I am deployed in the Army currently. Ordered my E90 from my dealer at $3,000 off of MSRP. My previous car was a 98 E36 M3 in techno-violet.

New car won't be ready until the middle of 2006 but I'm locked in with a deposit. I thought $3,000 off was a pretty good deal. Some details, 6SP, Titanium silver, black leather, aluminum trim. Luxury package, sport package, and cold weather package. Pre-wiring for Sirius and the electric rear window shade.

Ordered last week!!

E91 Touring
320D SE
Sparkling Graphite
Grey Leather
Matt titanium trim
Velour mats
Headlight washer
Heated Seats
Rain sensor / automatic headlight control

Also tested the 325i . The diesel with it's 16" tyres (petrol has 17") had a noticibly better ride and the extra torque made for easier driving. Did not like the noise of the 325i when accelerating hard.

Worked out that the running cost for the 320D and 325i allowing for 12,000 miles a year and depreciation. The initial oulay of the petrol engine was over Ł800 more and would cost Ł1,000 per year more to run.

Initially wanted brushed aluminium trim but dents and scratches on saloon demonstrator put me off prety guickly.

Hope to have the car in early November.

Arctic Metallic w/beige interior & Poplar Trim
Premium Package
Automatic
Navigation
Sirius Radio
Heated Seats
Comfort Access
PDC
Clear Protection Film kit

According to the dealer, it is made by 3M to fit the car and sold thru BMW. The total cost including the kit and labor is around $900. The dealer found someone who has the experience to install the kit who does not work for the dealership.

Can you please tell me the option code for Anthracite cloth/leather? I know it is not a listed option for U.S. cars, but back in the E46 M3 days in the U.S., you CAN get alcantara (yes, in November 2001), if you have a dealer that was willing to bug the port and you know the code for the option (F2AT).

We are trying to get an E90 for my wife, and we have pretty much decided on the 325 because it weighs 130 pounds less, and doesn't have power seats standard (easy to get in and out by sliding the seats back in one quick motion).

It is more important to find a GOOD installer.

I had clearbra put on my E46 M3 before I drove it off the lot, and will always do that for all new cars.

The only thing I would caution you is that the clearbra will yellow after time, doesn't matter what brand, and that if you have a white car, it will be noticeable. I have a yellow and a black car, so it was not an issue.

If you must have a white car though, it is still worth it because I simply cannot stand to look at my car with the entire front chipped to hell by little rocks from day to day driving.

I placed an order yesterday for a 2007 BMW 335i. I ordered it in Sparkling Graphite metallic paint with black interior and burl walnut wood trim. I ordered it with the sports package, premium package, iDrive SatNav. I'm debating whether to get 6-speed auto or manual. I placed a five hundred dollar deposit, and will pick it up in spartanburg in fall sometime.
