Got my e90 at Manhattan and my wife was less than pleased the salesperson kept saying stuff like "here are the lease paper...they are for you husband to review" and "Please sit in the back seat while I go over the car with you, it's important that your husband sees this stuff up close".

I ordered my 335 from Hassel

I can see her getting 'miffed' at that one.

Dealerships are important.

Heck, one of the main reasons I didn't buy another Saab was the sh*tty treatment I got from almost every Saab Dealer (especially Zumbach).

SAAB's days as a going concern are numbered.

Where in Manhattan do you live? Where do you park?

That is exactly what I was told yesterday as well...dealer said week 17 and the 800 number said week 20...

Who is the real source of truth here...the dealer or the 800 number??? It seems like the dealer has the most complete information(updated specs, status numbers, etc), so I would bet it is the dealer. No?

I think it is a classic game of "Good Cop, Bad Cop". These Dealers are telling us that they have gotten us an "earlier date" and it is evil BMW corporate that chooses to slow the whole process down.

At this point I have given up triing to figure out which one is telling the truth. I will know soon enough when Week 18 passes and my Car is not being built.

I guess Monday is when you "Week 17ers" will know the truth as well.....

Obviously, "Week 20 Club" is the wrong name for us. Somebody needs to start a thread with a different name.

"Week 17 or possibly 18 or perhaps 19, but no longer than Week 20, unless BMW runs out of 335i Engines Club"
