Who's getting an '08?

Year's_End · 08-05-2007, 12:51 PM

Well I just placed an order for the first '08 e92 to come down in my area. Anyone else deciding if they're getting an '08 or not?

Pedal2Floor · 08-05-2007, 03:07 PM

I'm torn between the 135 vs a 335.....I will not decide until I see and test drive the 135.

dexter · 08-05-2007, 03:15 PM

i ordered an 08' space grey e92 last month should be here in october. the wait is killing me

seattle_335i · 08-05-2007, 03:20 PM

I'm still waiting to order one...no spots open yet...sucks!

vaportech · 08-05-2007, 03:23 PM

are the september build e93s considered 07 or 08?

nusevad · 08-05-2007, 03:30 PM

Placing order for 08 in December....waiting for the 08 pricing/options is killing me although it wont be much different

XPO186 · 08-05-2007, 04:35 PM

I placed my ED order just last month for the very last '07 the dealership would do orders for. I was told I'd have to wait at least another month or two if I wanted an '08 since the production facility needed to be closed down to transition between the two MYs. This is all I was told.

I decided to go '07 because I didn't want to wait and I'm thinking there are going to be minimal differences (at least that would matter to me) between '07s and '08s.

This is going to be a daily driver / project car for me so I want it to be somewhat comfortable and want to be able to live with it everyday. That said, I think the 135 is going to be one hell of a car... BUT, it is too small for me. The 3er will take at least me and 3 others somewhat comfortably and I'll be able to get groceries in it (LoL).

The 1 will probably be faster due to the power:weight, but I think I'd get annoyed from driving a small car everyday (just my opinion).

I chose the 3 for practicality.

CrownRoyal · 08-05-2007, 06:01 PM

I just put the for sale sign on my VR-4 today. I will be driving my Honda Accord until I get my 2008 e92 335xi. I am saving money so I can get my payments down to under $630/month over 4 years. I estimate that if the allocation is available I will be able to pick one up between January and March of next year.

Yeah, I am sure the trunk space for the 1er is unbearable.

theDude · 08-05-2007, 06:04 PM

I'm getting an 08...was the first in line in my area

I'm curious to see the official pricing/options...hopefully it'll be any day now!

Ian335i · 08-05-2007, 07:20 PM

Got an '08 on order for November ED.

Aija · 08-05-2007, 08:36 PM

Waiting for spots to open for the 335 for an 08 over here. There not taking orders right now for the 08 models.

Reason why i went with 08 models instead of 07 is because 07 is a first year production. Even if 08 models are EXACTLY the same as 07 model, you can bet that the 08 will run a little less problems in a 5-10 years down the line compared to 07.

wesley_willis · 08-05-2007, 09:08 PM

ordering late this week, hoping for delivery as soon as possible!! does sometime in october seem fair?

incorrect logic, car manufactures make mid year changes and adapt to problems they see from sold cars. There is little "quality" or "reliability" difference between the last 07 to roll off the line when compared to the first 08.

heatfan03 · 08-05-2007, 09:31 PM

had the first 07 in my state not getting rid of her until i finish college. (5 yrs)

roadkillrob · 08-05-2007, 09:33 PM

08 e93 on order, early October ED hopefully have it back here in November. 335 Arctic Metalic!

denlin68 · 08-05-2007, 10:28 PM

PLaced an order for 335i July 16th. Dealership says It should arrive mid or end of October. my sales guy also mentioned a price increase of possibly 2%. But he said he will know the actual price increase after Mid August. And like most of you - the wait is killing me, i hate thinking about the car and not having it lol

My dealership also said I have to pay MSRP since the 335i coupe is so hot right now he cant give me any discounts at all except for floor mats and stuff. Anyone experiencing the same thing ?
