My E93 left the VPC at 9:05PM last night and should be delivered to my dealer (25 miles or so north of you) today according to the BMW system status my CA had before noon today. I won't go into that my car completed production on 9/5 and sat in the plant yard for some unknown reason before getting on a ship some 17 days later before all you other guys. I'm looking forward to a "pristine perfect"

new toy very soon, and will then hopefully look back at BMW manufacturing, tracking, delivery and this part of my BMW experience as something from a Twilight Zone episode. (Yes, sorry guys, that IS definitely dating me.) I'm ready for the next episode after all of this. Luv you sdslayer, but after this experience, I'm glad to be a day ahead of you again!

JRV · 10-21-2008, 08:32 PM

picked mine up today around 3 hrs ago...sorry I am the worst photgraher in the world. Hopefully will be better tomorrow in the day time. The car has tons of torque. 1st gear feels weak, but once in 2nd and even around 2000 rpm's it really pulls. You can tell its a turbo car from driving but its subtle at the same time. The idrive is very logical and pretty much picked it up all tonight. I'm sure there are more things I need to know but i can navigate no issues. Tomorrow, I will play with the Nvavigation a bit more. Anyway, I hope you guys get your soon! Oh and try to get free floor mats!

You have to hold the camera steady until you are 100% sure it took the picture!
lol

It doesn't look like we are getting the 5 series shifter.

It doesn't look like the shifter on the current 335's though.

JBiddy · 10-21-2008, 10:19 PM

congratz on the car man!!! love the combo....i cant wait till i get my call to go pick mine up!!!!ooooooo man and the waiting continues

JRV · 10-21-2008, 10:39 PM

just got back from driving around...lol Crsip, yes maybe i was a bit excited.
other than the shifter (no biggy can replace, feels odd i hand), I really like the feel of the car. This thing can really hold its own, passing on highway is a breeze. Big upgrade from my G. Now I will try to go to sleep so I can drive her to work tomorrow

don't speak too soon! My CA called me at 5pm today to ask me if I wanted to pick my car up. I was at work and had plans, so I will be taking care of this 1st thing in the morning. [didnt have my current proof of insurance on me]

Maybe yours was on the same truck and dropped off on the way down? and wasnt ready or your CA just didn't call you?

I got mine from long beach BMW. Man this car drives like a champ! First gear is kinda weak, below 2200 RPM, but feels fine everywhere else in the rest of the gears.

Just picked it up not even 3 hours ago and I have to bring it back in for service...Don't worry nothing big, just the driver side mirror won't fold when I hit the auto-fold button, but they should have checked that before I took delivery...oh well. Since the dealer is about 30mi from where I live, gives me a reason to drive the beast.

Yes, perhaps we were on the same truck -- was hoping that was the case. Will take a little more time for my dealer to get my car ready beyond PDI -- OEM Alarm has to be installed and a couple of other things. Also, today and tomorrow are officially the days my CA is off -- so I'll bet I don't get mine 'til Friday at earliest, even though I offered to be available this afternoon or tomorrow as well.

We'll see. In any case, I'll be thinking about you around 9AM this morning.

CONGRATS AT LAST!

has anyone received an update on their 2009? We too have been waiting out this nightmare knowing our 335i coupe is sitting in North Jersey while we are in South Jersey - so close, yet so far. Sounds like everyone is waiting for news on the 24th - just wondering if anyone has had a glimmer of hope.

sucks you dont have yours yet. i just picked mine up yesterday in mt. laural, nj.

Frank2808 · 10-22-2008, 12:41 PM

Just got word today from my CA that my car has arrived at the dealer. I won't be picking up until next week because of scheduling conflicts and aftermarket parts being added at the dealer. Just an FYI - I'm in Cleveland.

Buh · 10-22-2008, 12:52 PM

Just got a call from my CA! car just arrived today and picking up tomorrow morning! I'm amazed as my car just arrived at the port on Monday. 2 days to get to the dealership? Amazing! Let you guys know how it drives tomorrow!

Ender514 · 10-22-2008, 01:53 PM

its nice to see everyone finally starting to get their cars after the long wait

WDW1Fanatic · 10-22-2008, 02:03 PM

Just had contact from my CA. I'll pick up my E93 335i Friday afternoon. AT LAST.

jerzcruzr · 10-22-2008, 02:52 PM

just wondering if anyone is taking road hazard insurance on the wheels/tires. Had to replace a run flat on our 2006 325 and it cost $260.00 - the new 335i coupe (if it ever gets here) will have the 19 inch tires. Our CA couldn't quote a price - just wondering if anyone has opted for it.

ckimmel · 10-22-2008, 03:30 PM

Well, for my 2006 audi s4 the insurance was over $500 added to the lease. I did not purchase it because I figured I could replace a wheel for less than that if I needed to. I think that the BBS CH wheels are less than $500 ea and this is what it came with from the factory. When I turned it in last month - they charged me $240 for wheel damage. So, I came out on top by not buying it in my opinion.

I am leaving to pick up my car now. I am still not going to buy wheel insurance with this lease either.

i did.....

JRV · 10-22-2008, 06:35 PM

i took the insurance on the wheels..they are very expensive to replace. You can add the coverage on your monthly, so i think you are spreading $500+ bux over your finance/lease or pay up front...i think its worth it...another thing they tell you they dont cover meanwhile they same bumper to bumper cover for 4 years

sdslayer · 10-22-2008, 08:30 PM

I think I would rather get punched in the face than buy a car. I hate all the lies and having to argue about floor mats. The bullying reminded me of elementary school. At any rate, it was a sunny day in the high 80's (car said 95 though) and I finally got to drive with the top down.

I'll post blackberry pics on the Hojin thread. I don't want someone to read that thread and wonder what happened to the cars
