I posted on here about a month ago asking for advice on a price for a 335i.

I finally bit the bullet and decided to go in and order one today from BMW Melbourne (King's Way), who for the 2nd time I've purchased a BMW were fantastic to deal with.

I was lucky that they had the colour combo I wanted already coming into Australia, although it has a few extra options which I really wouldn't have gotten if it was a custom order.

Car Specs:

E92 LCI 335i DCT Coupe
Black Sapphire Metallic
Coral Red Interior
Aluminium Trim


Options:

Harmon Kardon Sound System
Heated Front Seats
Internet
Sunroof

I've checked the online ship tracker and my car is currently in the UK with an ETA for Melbourne of 21/12/2010 - so I'm hoping for a delivery date of first week of January.

I'll post some photos up once I take delivery!

Thanks to everyone who helped me with any questions I had over the past few months, it's appreciated!

LOVELY colour combo. You gotta come to the next meet so Stuart (bmwroxm5) isn't lonely with his BSM/CR E92

The wait is gonna be killer... in the meantime order an N55 Procede from Adrian.

Congrats on your choices ...I love the contrasting colour combos.

You were originally considering a 325i or 135i, so did Privatefleet come up with the goods?

Took the 135i for a spin, awesome car and the same with the 325i, both fantastic cars. All just came down to the fact I liked the 335i better.

I was dealing with Privatefleet and they came back with a fantastic price and then the following day decided that the price they gave me was an error, I'm not talking a small error, they were out by about $20k. In the end it meant the deal that they got me was pretty much exactly RRP. After me questioning how they can make an error of such a large margin, I never heard back from them again.

Quite Disappointing really as they were good to deal with in the beginning.

Congrats, that's a great spec! You will love it. I just picked up a BSM e93 and love it. With respect to your options, you will love all of them. The HK sound system is great (make sure you check out the thread with how to set the equalizer http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ogic7+settings) if you set it up correctly. Heated seats also. I have the internet spec in my car but BMW Australia have not set it up yet so it won't be live until some time next year apparently...

Enjoy your car!!!

Welcome - we need to arrange a Melbourne meet

[johnnydad]

FWIW I drove a Lexus ISF the other day and would take a BMW 335i over it in a heartbeat.

[whyw8]

Wow really I was tossing up the isf - what factors let it down?

[johnnydad]

Looks, inside and out - personal thing I suppose. But also the chassis - ride was just too firm so it couldn't cope with a few familiar mid-corner bumps (and they say RFT M-sports are bad!) and yet the handling at enthusiastic road speeds was uninvolving with nothing like the throttle steerability of the BMW. Both are DCT now, and you can easily tune a 335i to be just as quick.

So how many of you guts are from melb ,
