Having owned several BMW's in the past, I got addicted to the brand. I strayed away many times though. Currently I'm going through one of the returns to my brand of choice. Had all kinds of cars, SUVs. (I like big trucks...)
And I never bought a NEW car before. Dunno why... somehow I always got enticed by the relative low price of used cars.
After months of getting service bills from my Ford dealer (something always went wrong) I decided: that's it, it's gotta stop. Ford has to go. I'm not putting any more $ into this money pit. It's never gonna end so I might as well end it immediately.
And I'm not saying BMW's are more reliable (well they are, but they ain't perfect either...) but at least you get a decent warranty and first class service (here in Switzerland anyway.)

So I felt the time was right to buy a NEW BMW. My budget is limited and still wanted something nice looking. I kept the costs down with the relatively humble choice of options.
Last week I ended up signing the papers for a 320i Coupe, alpine white, automatic, premium sound, ipod kit, PDC..... that's pretty much it.

I know this model is not sold in North America, well we have it here in Europe. Basically a 2.0 liter 4 banger with 170 hp. Not a sports car but quite decent and pretty much noiseless. I'm sure I'm going to love it.

I specifically asked for a 2009 model (although changes are minimal) so delivery won't be before mid September, maybe even later.

How do you guys put up with the wait?

I'm in the same boat as you, brother. I ordered an 09 e92 335i, and mine won't be here until late October or early November. As to how I put up with the wait, I pass inordinate amounts of time here on these boards.
