What happened?

Every week you are without car, the value of the car is less "compared" to the ones coming out in a couple months. You car really is depreciating because its "getting older".

They are blaming the trucking company for the constant delays.

The way I see it, there has been a chain of three epic fails here:

1. BMW Canada screwing up the cars in the first place
2. Some nameless trucking company that is apparently completely unreliable
3. A dealership that has not managed its client's expectations

I don't know who to be most pissed off at right now, but the only entity I can actually talk to is the dealership, so I am taking my frustration out on them!

I completely agree with you. The dealership is the face to the customer. They must manage the customer & BMW Canada. Unfortunately, they are the middle man since we purchased the car from them.

Regarding the depreciation comment. I personally have only been delayed 2 times (total of potentially 3 weeks). I'm not sure there is an argument here because folks that have leased cars would have received the residual value at the time of signing. If you bought the car, I guess maybe value of the car is less but if they are still selling cars at the same price then...nothing to discuss really. I don't think msrp has changed at all in the past 2-3 months so they will probably just tell too bad...

Finally out of the break-in period - took it for a spin today and man, this thing really goes like hell. I'm going to have to find some deserted highway and give it a push. About 5200 rpm, this thing feels like a rocket.....my wife just shakes her head....

LOL - can't wait ...still in the 700s; gotta find a big drive to do - was trying to talk my wife into a run to the Okanagan for the long weekend - that would pretty much do it. I'm thinking no dice though - might have to settle for Edmonton (yech!) instead to visit relatives. Would be much happier at the lake. And much happier once I've passed 2K.

Keep us posted.

Which angel eyes? Lux? Tint looks great also. Is that 30% or darker?

Xtype0 · 11-06-2011, 05:45 PM

Its lux v3. Its not as bright as I had hoped. Wish it would look like the coupe's stock white rings or the newer x3 rings.

Its the 30%. John an his crew at autolinks did a great job with the tint.

Car looks really good. I dont think you will get anything as bright as the new coupe or x3 lights unless you get oss. At least the lux color match the xenons. Getting more excited for my delivery now.

The car really isn't black, its like a very dark blue.

Any of you SE owners up for a group buy for Angel Eyes?

I want the side turn signals, DRls and side markers a nice blue/white LED shade.

I could be talked into it

Also is anyone having an issue with the NAV voice being really quiet? This is probably an EASY answer but I looked through all the options and cannot figure out how to increase the volume.

So our car has a different temperature or "colour" compared to the 335iS??

I've seen the new 335iS and they have awesome headlights...i hate to sound like a newb, but will this package have the same results?
