Ouch! I would definitely find out what's up.

If you're leasing and it's just a scratch I wouldn't think a repainted part would be too big of a deal. If you're buying, a repainted panel would most likely affect the resale value.

Either way, maybe you can squeeze them for a few more bucks

Nice! Does your OC still say it's at the VPC? Mine does and the sales manager expects it on the lot tomorrow too. I'm hoping it's just behind as usual.

BoostedE90 · 12-13-2007, 03:55 PM

Yeap! OC shows it still being at the VPC. My sales guy told me that the OC is usually 2 to 3 days behind at best!

Bostonian · 12-13-2007, 03:59 PM

So what are you getting? Options, colors, etc.?

bmwguy80 · 12-13-2007, 04:04 PM

335xi Sedan / 6MT / jet black / dakota gray / burl walnut / cold weather / premium / CA / iDrive / sat radio / ipod

Bostonian · 12-13-2007, 04:24 PM

Wow, that's a very complete package. I'm regretting not getting the ipod option.

bmwguy80 · 12-13-2007, 06:29 PM

Yeah... I'm a techie so I guess I like having the toys. I always have the iPhone with me so I figured the ipod option was essential.

Bostonian · 12-13-2007, 11:58 PM

By the way, it was incredibly lucky that I got the car one day before the big Northeast snowstorm today. The xi did really well plowing through snow and ice.

I am completely loving this car...

JZ150 · 12-14-2007, 08:11 AM

Bostonian I was wondering how that xi worked for you in the snow. Good to hear it did well for you.

bmwguy80 · 12-14-2007, 10:33 AM

Great to hear about the xi. The only reason I chose the xi was because I have to live in this miserable part of the country during the winter (I'm originally from Florida).

mid-corner fun · 12-14-2007, 10:47 AM

Other than Bostonian, has anyone else picked up their car from the Courage? I'm still waiting for mine although it's been "in transit" for 4 days now...

bmwguy80 · 12-14-2007, 11:02 AM

Mine is supposed to show up at the dealer today (not holding my breath though). Waiting on the call...

I believe BoostedE90 is in the same boat (no pun intended).

BoostedE90 · 12-14-2007, 11:13 AM

Wanna bet on who get's their's first?

Called my salesman this morning and he said that it should be here this afternoon and be ready for pick up on saturday! knowing my luck the truck it is on will probably break down!

BoostedE90 · 12-14-2007, 01:46 PM

It's here! The dealership has to do their inspection and I am scheduled to pick it up at 11am tomorrow!

Now to pull that bank heist I've been planning!

bmwguy80 · 12-14-2007, 02:22 PM

Grrrr!! I haven't heard yet. I'm leaving work early and am going to drive by and see if it's sitting on the lot.

bmwguy80 · 12-14-2007, 04:04 PM

Welp the truck didn't show up early enough today so they won't be able to have it ready for me tomorrow. Stupid service dept isn't open on Saturdays. Looks like Monday now. :sad0147: :sad0147: :sad0147:

Bostonian · 12-14-2007, 08:08 PM

Bummer! Looking forward to seeing pictures from you all soon!

bmwguy80 · 12-15-2007, 07:51 PM

Thank god I didn't take delivery of my car today. We got a good coating of ice/snow on the ground this morning. I was turning into my neighborhood (at least the wheels were turned) but the car decided it wanted to go straight into a small tree. Put a nice crack in my front bumper. Oh well... at least I'll be that much more careful with the BMW when I pick her up on Monday! LOL

Trainwreckor · 12-16-2007, 01:17 AM

Yea, I know. I had a close call with a mailbox in my neighborhood. But I'm sure if I was in the BMW I wouldn't have lost any control.

bmwguy80 · 12-16-2007, 10:40 AM

Any word from your CA on what's up with your car?

Trainwreckor · 12-16-2007, 12:16 PM

He's says there's no problems. And that's the worst case senario date and it could possibly come in earlier.

Whatever, starting tomorrow I'm gonna be in Cancun for the week and I'm not even going to worry about it.

bmwguy80 · 12-16-2007, 12:23 PM

Nice! Enjoy your vacation. I'm sure she'll be waiting for you when you get back.
