Does anyone know when BMW will start taking preorders for the '08 335i's? Is it two months before (late June / early July) the expected show room arrival date of late September / early October or will it be later than that?

Any info is appreciated.
Thanks

probably later than that, the cars usually only show up that early the first year they come out

probably have to order the car in sept/october or you'll be getting an 07

I just ordered an 08 335 coupe for ED in last week of October. I may have been able ot order just because of the fact that it is ED

Dealers will not recieve their allocation for 08 production until mid to late August. September production will start the 08 model year, meaning that the cars will start to arrive in late October/begininng of November. No dealer will recieve an allocation any earlier. There may be dealers that will take a deposit on the car, but they will not have a production number to modify to your specs until then.

I thought if they start production first week of September I could potentially place my order in the first week of July, no? Also I think from production to delivery in the states it takes about a month unless they are back ordered which it may take up to 2 months on average, correct? If that's correct I guesstimate I'd be looking at first week of October delivery best case or first week of November delivery worst case.

I wish my CA would call me back and keep me up to date on this!:mad:

any rumors on changes for 08 E92 335i? Obviously mostly minor stuff, but anything notable?

They are taking orders now, the factory has called it a year for coupes and convertible 335's to much demand and now they have to provide engines for the 5 sereis so hey go 08

Be aware that BMW will be making very few slots available for October. Placing the request for pre reservation isn´t the same thing as ordering the car and BMW NA won´t begin to slot and confirm orders until they get the earlier slots sorted.

'08 on order for a Nov. ED delivery. Still can't decide between 2/4 door and tranny...sheesh.

I hope all the October ED spots aren't used up. In a few weeks I'd like to place an order for an E93 for ED on either October 22nd or 29th. I'm pretty sure September is all booked up already.....and I'd like to avoid November because I'm afraid of it snowing while I'm over there!

Yea, you are too late, Oct 22 is the first day(or 2nd) the Welt will be open. Not only is sept booked, but all of Oct is booekd as well. You will be getting an 08 model. I placed my order 3 weeks ago and my CA told me that he will try to get me last wek of Oct but most likely Nov 2nd.

Damn that sucks. I don't mind going on November 5th (first Monday in November), I'm just worried about the weather and snow in particular. Does anyone have any idea about what the weather is like in Germany in October and November?

Im worried about it as well. But, noting I can do about it unless I am willing to wait till March or April and Im not. I can barely wait till Novemeber.

From what I researched, it starts to get cold around nov 1st. Cold as in 40 at night. Some passes maybe be closed up in the mounatins. The fartehr you drive south the warmer it will be.

Question for Jspira;
When dealers receive their allotments for 2008, do they also get updated option codes for new colors or new packages?

Haha, that was coincidental, I'm a blogger (or just a regular poster) on Weather underground, and I'm on that site multiple times a day, I'm a weather freak. And rather than take my chances and drive south through the Alps, I'd rather just drive northwest to Paris or Amsterdam, it won't be that bad....and besides, I'll be driving a new car!

If I picked up my car around Nov 1 and drove east then up to Prague then around Germany, how would the weather be...and yes Im askingf you to predict the future based on your experience

Well I can say a little, because I've looked up the temps from each day in the first week in November in 2006, 2005, 2004 & 2003 (I did that on Friday). Historically they say HIs should be in the mid to upper 50s, although the last bunch of years HIs were right around 54 to 55 across MOST ALL major cities north of the Alps. Lows were never to freezing and there wasn't any snow, and I checked more than a dozen cities, but only in France, Germany, Czech, Austria, Netherlands, and Beglium. Hope this helps, and the temperatures did seem to stay pretty steady, which I was pleased to find out. As long as I sleep in I shouldn't encounter anything too cold! Hope this helps. Btw, how come Lufthansa doesn't seem to offer any flights out of Amsterdam? I've checked in plenty of times, and I just wrote them an e-mail, I hope it's an error.

I took delivery of my 335I last October 18th, I was also worried about snow or ice with those summer tires, and I live in south florida so no way I am used to driving other than very hard rain. Anyway, all my fears thankfully went down the drain, the coldest we got was Munich the day of pick up at 40 degrees. The rest was from 47-74 !!, yes 74 degrees read in INNSBRUCK ! on October 26th. We were on t shirts in Zurich October 30th. But as everyone knows 2006 was a weird climatic year, hot temps in Europe broke records everywhere and in the Alps all the people were in panic because skiing season could not start and was supposed to start since mid Oct on high peaks, but no, I saw only two peaks with some snow in the Alps, that's it. But who knows how mother nature will play this year, but with our human help I think I'll be more hotter than normal, this year and the rest, if we do not listen to Mr. Al Gore theories.

We are going back this year for wife's X3. And yes, no deliveries in October, I am getting word now that THE WELT new ED center is delayed a couple weeks. So my SA does not even know if NOV 15 is a firm date for pick up. However if this time there's snow, I will be on a x3 with 4 wheel traction. Now is the opposite I WANT SNOW !!.

Good luck to all.

PD.. anyone knowing more about THE WELT opening date, please post. Thanks

I am sure JSpira will confirm this as well, but to my knowledge the Welt will be opening on the 22nd of October for deliveries. The real problem is that the other Delivery center will be closing on the 5th. I am presently and anxiously, waiting to hear if my spot is confirmed for the first week of the opening. I have had my date and tickets purchased for months now and the car on order since February. The delay of the opening has fouled everything up, but I am hopeful my CA will pull it off. I planned waaay in advance since we had others traveling with us and this whole thing came out of nowhere and bit me in the a**!

Best of luck with your delivery.
