Who has already placed their order??

MarkA · 05-03-2005, 03:47 AM

Just placed my order! (First BMW!)

320d (6 speed manual)
0A34 - Arctic Metallic
ALAT - Anthracite / Black

04AD - Brushed Alluminium

0302 - Class 3 Alarm System (Certified)
0226 - Sports Suspension
0249 - Multifunction steering-wheel
0255 - Leather Sports steering-wheel
02BG - Style 161 - 17'' Alloy Wheels
0321 - Door handles in body colour
0481 - Sports Seats
0502 - Headlight washers
0520 - Bi-Xenon Lights
0563 - Enhanced lighting package
0431 - Auto dimming rear mirror
0465 - Split folding rear seat
04AE - Front middle arm rest
0507 - Park Distance Control
0521 - Rain Sensor

As you can see... lots of things aren't standard on the E90 over here in Holland.

Price delivered is : Euro 49500 of which too much is tax! :mad:

Still... very much looking forward to it! I was very impressed with the test drive. Definately the best 4 cyl Diesel on the market! (Almost everyone drives diesel here - much cheaper than petrol!)

bozo5521 · 05-03-2005, 04:20 AM

LMAO..See, all you Americans? (myself included)..While we suffer from clear headlight defficiency syndrome in the US, our counterparts in Europe deal with options such as "color coded door handles" (a big deal here, or you get black, no matter what color the car is) and things like "Air Conditioning"...

So maybe we dont have it as bad as we thought!

i guess you ordered the Executive Dynamic packages too then

Robin_NL · 05-03-2005, 05:10 AM

@ MarkA, exactly. :rocks:

flyboy-sa · 05-04-2005, 06:42 AM

Update on my order for 330 :-)) Dealer phoned me today they need my ID Documents and drivers license to start with registration and I will have it before end of next week (May 13). whoo-hooo!

a3ndy · 05-04-2005, 11:56 AM

Almost there for me too.

Had a call from dealer. It's here earlier than expected. I was originally given a date of late June. It's being PDI'd at the moment. insurance needs to be sorted. Pickup on Tuesday 10th May hopefully.

Can't really believe it.

It does make me a little suspicious why the delivery date has been brought forward so much though, any thoughts. Should I be worried.

Congrats! I'd rather be excited than worried.

ogrady · 05-04-2005, 12:41 PM

A3ndy maybe someone backed out of a car which had the same exact specifications as the car you ordered?

MarkA · 05-04-2005, 01:29 PM

Andy,

I'm sure it will be fine. Congrats on an excellent choice of spec!

a3ndy · 05-04-2005, 02:24 PM

Thanks guys for your opinions.

Just sorting out insurance now, then hopefully it will come through in time...

Almost there...

thrill30 · 05-04-2005, 04:38 PM

Andy,
that is great news. I really believe that there is nothing wrong with your order. If there was something wrong, I think they would delay rather than deliver earlier than expected.

Congratulations again...

Steward Luk · 05-07-2005, 06:27 AM

I sam the Arctic in Causewaybay showroom, that's whay I made up my mind for Arctic. Org. I chose the SG...

bmt_toronto · 05-08-2005, 11:13 AM

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. Good to be here...

I just ordered my 325i yesterday:
Sparkling Graphite
Black Leatherette
Sunroof

That's it, starting off light for my first BMW. Very, very excited for it to arrive. The dealer found one that is on it's way to Montreal, hopefully that dealer will allow a trade for one that my dealer has (Parkview in Toronto). So if all goes well I should have it on 21-May.

Jason · 05-08-2005, 11:15 AM

Congratulations bmt_toronto, and welcome!

TwinPowerF30 · 05-08-2005, 02:40 PM

weiweiwei: $500 under sticker. Not bad, and they include floor mats and locking wheel nuts. I'm also looking into the BMW Supplier rebate plan. Not sure how much it will be, but I'll post more details when I get them.

Anybody else know about, or have used, this plan?

ps: Thanks ldpantoja!

TwinPowerF30 · 05-08-2005, 05:01 PM

$500 not bad, I wonder how it is here in Vancouver. I'm trading in my car so maybe it's harder to negotiate?

SCA · 05-08-2005, 10:18 PM

BMWAustin, how about some interior pics?

deutschmann59 · 05-08-2005, 11:16 PM

First, BMWAustin:

WOW! Congrats on your new car! Good luck! I want to ask the same thing--are those windows tinted? That car looks HOT with darker glass, but it doesn't look really really dark. I love lighter tint. I think it adds that extra touch of class.

weiweiwei: Yeah, if the car sits out in the sun for a while with black leather, look out! You have to open the doors and let it "cool" off for a few minutes. (it's funny how you can describe the E90 as being really hot and really cool and still be ambiguous as to whether you're talking about temperature or style

).

Anyway, some like light interiors, some like dark. I'm personally a fan of black on black, just because I think dark cars look the sharpest. Besides, it's a little more pratical to have a dark interior when it comes to cleaning. The dirt doesn't show up that well on black interiors. I can't really say the same for the outside, though...

CoolBurn · 05-08-2005, 11:41 PM

Ordered Mine May 7th
ETA End of June

Monaco Blue 325i
Black Leatherette
Xenon Headlights
Automatic

I kept the car pretty basic, but pretty excited.. got the car at 32k..

gwongster · 05-09-2005, 05:09 AM

Ordered a 330i for the wife to replace a 1998 528i on May the 2nd

I got her:

Sparkling Graphite
161 Wheels (158 is standard for 330i in Japan)
Bi-Xenon
I-drive
Leather Package
Rear auto sunshade
Sun-roof
6 CD changer
An iPod to plug into the Aux input slot

All told, I paid about US $70K for it. (Yes, it is about twice the US price here in Japan!!). Oh, and I neglected to tell my wife that I had bought her a new car - well, it is an anniversary present.

I drive a 05 Touareg V8. Comfortable but drinks gas like water and doesn't even have seat memory.
