hey guys!!!!! my car arrived at the dealership on Saturday!!!!

:happ yanim:

can't pick her up until Thursday though... cuz the clear bra guy isn't available until then. but i am planning to visit and take pictures this afternoon. cheers!

cts · 10-01-2007, 01:45 PM

Congrats!! This gives me hope that I'll see mine by the end of the week. (My CA has the day off today so I can't bug him)

2manycars1 · 10-01-2007, 04:53 PM

I was on the Toronto as well, and my dealer said they should receive my car by weeks end. Of course the last time I heard that there was some damage and the week turned into three weeks. Hopefully if there was any problem they would have been notified by now.

Does anyone know if they notify the dealer imemdiatly if a vehicle is damaged in transit? My car got the the VPC on Friday (perhaps even Thursday).

rzm3 · 10-01-2007, 08:01 PM

couldnt wait so i drove to the dealership and took some pix... perhaps the first 335xi to post a pictures?

Sweet ride!

cts · 10-01-2007, 09:44 PM

Nice!!

euro2low · 10-01-2007, 10:24 PM

48 till my baby comes home and then time for my garage to de-virginize her

Grizzles · 10-01-2007, 10:43 PM

Shweeet

looks like the first 335xi coupe to post, congrats.

looks like it comes with headlight washers. the website doesnt show it as an option for the xi and the winter package is $150 cheaper.

wonder if mine will have them?

I can't wait to get my car now!! I was going to say that it's sitting so high for an xi but I'm assuming the shipping blocks are still on.

rzm3 · 10-01-2007, 11:01 PM

i believe for all x coupes headlight washers are std

rzm3 · 10-01-2007, 11:02 PM

what are shipping blocks? mine has not been serviced yet, so you could be right...

Turbomatic · 10-01-2007, 11:18 PM

I hate to tell you but the XIs really sits that high normally. I just picked up mine tonight and the front fender gap is huge. I am hoping the springs will settle a bit over time but it does look funny. Oh well...

Another thing, this car is very quiet and I feel its weight when driving it. However, the pickup is ok. Not the push you in the seat kind of power but its decently quick.

I got the washer on the light too and I didn't order winter package.

Other than the 4x4 stance its what I expected to get.

Oh and Rldzhao, make sure they plug that towing hook location back up.

Eazyrock · 10-02-2007, 07:00 AM

I probably still have a day or two before I pick up my car... congrats guys.. nice pics.

Eazyrock · 10-02-2007, 11:47 AM

Just got the call.. my baby's at the dealership. Picking it up tomorrow... dance of joy time..

2manycars1 · 10-02-2007, 03:50 PM

My car hit the port on Thursday the 27th. My dealer says they are showing a ship date to them on the third (tomorrow). If it really gets out as planned they should recieve it either tomorrow, Thursday or Friday.

Of course until they get it, there is no certainty. My dealer is in West Windsor, NJ (Princeton area), and they usually get the cars the day after they are released.

I have my fingers crossed.

I won't send pictures because it looks exactly like every other white three series convertible.

mstnggt66 · 10-02-2007, 04:08 PM

And that's why there's a box in my garage with H&R sport springs in it for a e92 xi.

Turbomatic · 10-02-2007, 04:36 PM

I will look into springs if the gap starts to bother me more after awhile. My 240sx and my Evo both have much less gap. On the otherhand, the E30 I have rides even higher due to no weight and heavy duty shocks.

Grizzles · 10-02-2007, 04:54 PM

i would like to see someone raise their 335xi like bigfoot.

cts · 10-02-2007, 08:53 PM

Talked to my CA this afternoon. No car yet, but it looks like the interest rate through BMW finance has lowered.

Grizzles · 10-02-2007, 08:56 PM

whats the new rate?

cts · 10-02-2007, 08:59 PM

CA told me I could take advantage of 3.9%.

NoKids · 10-02-2007, 09:02 PM

pictures don't do these cars justice.
seeing them in person is an out of body experience!
