Anyone here from the Philadelphia area? I'm on the Main Line.

West Chester resident here.

Got a 335 sedan on order from Otto's. Should have it by late October. Can't wait.

Gladwyne resident here. Waiting for Monaco 335 on order from West German.

I currently drive a 2003 325i, fully loaded. My lease is up in early Oct. and found out yesterday that my sunroof motor is either dead or dying a slow death. Anyone ever hear of this problem and if so how much am I talking about? West German said "if its what I think it is you're not going to be happy...~ $1,200:mad:

NovaBimmer · 08-27-2006, 11:46 PM

If there are more people, we should definately try to get a meet going on while it is still warm out!

JackMac · 08-29-2006, 02:54 PM

I'm in the Phoenixville/Malvern area (Charlestown).

I'm up for a meet, we're all very close by. Maybe in Valley Forge Park?

Or, there is an autocross this Sunday morning Sept 3rd in the parking lot of the Valley Forge convention center. I was thinking to go (as a spectator).

Nothing has been established yet. I was suggesting Sunday morning @ VF convention center (Scantion?) parking lot. There is an autocross event. My neighbor is bringing her E36 M3 to compete.

Would this work? I'm up for other dates/times too.

Gitta · 08-30-2006, 08:54 AM

I'm about an hour north (near Allentown) but my weekends are pretty booked in September.

Thanks, I actually took it up to Devon Hill yesterday and got away for $0.00. Turns out all it needed was some grease. The sunroof tracks were totally dry. I'm over 66k on miles so it would have cost me plenty otherwise.

2bmw2 · 09-03-2006, 08:59 AM

Malvern here. recently converted from Audi though my wife has an '02 325

'06 325xi, Titanium Silver, Black Dakota leather, Step, Cold Weather pkg, Inav. Local dealers were not interested in making a sale so I found this one some distance away. It was worth the trip

LOOKING FOR A SET OF 159s

NovaBimmer · 09-03-2006, 03:28 PM

Let's try to get a meet going sometime soon (i.e. next weekend)

I can make this weekend, if someone can pick a time/place. Otherwise, can't make most weekends until late October.

Straz M3 · 09-06-2006, 04:23 PM

I am always visiting my gf at Villanova...I still have my E46 but I will have my 335 soon...if I am welcome I will stop by

I live in Wilmington now (former WC resident) but I'm in WC all the time

. Ordered a 335 coupe from Ottos; should have it by the end of the month. Who is your CA at Ottos?

You going to let them put the Ottos 'shield' on your car?

JackMac · 09-13-2006, 03:21 PM

I got my E90 (and previous E46) at Devon Hill, and MINI at Otto's.

For each, I requested not to apply a shield or badge or license frame with dealership logo. Not a fan of that.

How is your pricing at Otto's? How much below MSRP or above Invoice? A friend at work wants to order a 328xi, and want to compare price between Otto's and Devon.

2bmw2 · 09-14-2006, 08:58 PM

My in-laws bought from Otto's and my wife bought once from Devon Hill. This time around Otto's didn't have the car I was looking for and Devon Hill generously offered $500 off MSRP. I Countered with $500 over invoice and we had a stalemate. I walked and found a great car elsewhere.

We go to Devon Hill for service. SA there is worth the trip. Has done a good job for us with 3 cars over the years.

No badges on our cars. My wife rock the devon hill plate 'cause she doesn't mind it. I've got no plate frame.
