Ordered today... Excited new member!!

alistair · 07-18-2007, 02:29 AM

So,

After a lot of thought - I ordered my new 335i Coupe today! I changed in the car that I haven't had long, but didn't get along with.... and now I can't wait!

I was fortunate enough to get a great dealer - Hahn BMW in Yakima, WA. They negotiated a *very* far price (far closer to invoice than to MSRP), and my car is due to go into production this week

Admittedly when I told two of my friends this evening they said "It'll be rubbish in the snow", but I don't care. Yes, they ruined my fun a little, but I'm getting a shiny new BMW, and they're not!

I've been lurking for a while, and posted to get some snow advice - thanks all for your guidance, and I'm looking forward to being a new poster!

-Alistair

We don't need to worry much about snow here in Seattle. Congratulations on selecting a great car!

tjnptel1 · 07-18-2007, 08:23 AM

woo hoo.. welcome aboard.

I suggest carrying an extra pair of boxers when you first drive your car, the power is overwhelming and you may need to change them.

Sea2Ski · 07-18-2007, 08:25 AM

Weclome!
You will be thrilled with it every time you drive it, so forget about what your friends said.
When/if it snows, relish the sound system and comfort when you are going as slow as everyone else in lower quality cars.

Trust me, I think you will love it.

Josh49 · 07-18-2007, 09:07 AM

Congrats and welcome!!

stooken · 07-18-2007, 11:07 AM

Yes....snow should not be a problem if you're living in Seattle, and all that rain you get will give you plenty of opportunity to do some fun power slides!

Welcome aboard!

Now's the hard part, waiting...

Yes, the waiting is definitely the toughest part. But you have E90Post to keep you company

Tell your friends to stick a sock in it. Plenty of 335i drivers up here in the Great White North who have no problems in the snow! Just get a good set of winter tires and you're set!

Gort · 07-18-2007, 01:00 PM

Welcome aboard, and thank you for not asking us to pick your color for you!
