do i have problems?

matt_435xi · 03-22-2007, 12:59 PM

this will either prove i have lost it (like scuba steve) or that i am just like you guys/girls?

We know you have problems, but if you don't discuss them out in the open we can't help you deal with them.

Oh, I guess I was too quick to post before you put up the poll. My wife says that I have a similar problem. (j/k....don't everybody start with the smart comments)

I pretty much have committed the brochure to memory so the only time I refer to it is when someone asks a question and I want to be 100% sure of the answer before I post it. So I guess I will vote a few times after I ordered.

yep - I ask my wife and kid if they have any quesitons about the car EVERY day. So far, I got one answer incorrect, and that was the distance between the front and back wheels. I constantly forget that one..... (I think it is 138.5 inches??)

did you take delivery yet? we live so close to each other!

jonerik26 · 03-22-2007, 01:31 PM

my first bimmer my parents knew what they wanted to get for me, so i really had no choice in anything, so really didn't care to look at the brochure.... my second bimmmer... i just knew what i wanted so again no need, but then i did glance over it while waiting for my car...

bartman32 · 03-22-2007, 02:38 PM

I've got the brochures in German if you'd like and I don't even speak German!

LEDZEP · 03-22-2007, 03:24 PM

You forgot the option: Can't look at it anymore because the pages are all stuck together.

krapnoj · 03-22-2007, 03:26 PM

I looked at it more than a couple times.. but i had more opportunities to look at it when i was showing off to my peers..

STE92VE · 03-22-2007, 03:42 PM

I have one on my coffee table for prestige and another locked in my office, devoid of foreign fingerprints and curled edges.

So I'm not alone!

I also have a PDF file handy just in case i get lazy

dgoesch · 03-22-2007, 06:19 PM

I bought a 1/18th scale e92 model. Its sitting on my desk right underneath my monitor. I can stare at that all day. When i get home i have worn out my brochure.

The Patriot gets into Charleston on Sat with my baby on board, my CA claims that I will have my car next week. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

dkbimmer · 03-22-2007, 09:41 PM

I look through it several times a week wondering if I made the right color choice and options. Not sure why I do it...guess I have problems too. It's all for fun right?

Revlis · 03-22-2007, 10:25 PM

To be honest I feel pretty sorry for anyone who has become so callous or so jaded that they are NOT giddy in anticipation of delivery. The 335s are terrific cars and a lot of fun. Who wouldn't be happy?

matt_435xi · 03-22-2007, 10:30 PM

i am the sick bastard that started this thread.

thank you all for making me feel somewhat normal!!

I agree. Anticipation of a big event, new car, new house, etc. is what makes life worth living. I have an Alpine White 2006 E90 sitting in my garage right now, yet I am pacing around waiting for the new one to come! I think having something to look forward to is important in life, whether it is some material aquisition or a vacation, birth of a child, etc. Not that our new car should be compared to the latter... but the endorphins fire the same way (for me).

I have to agree 110%. Waiting for something great makes you appreciate life more. Sorry to get off the subject, but waiting for the births of my 2 boys were way tooooo long. 9 months each...but the wait was so worth it. Both times were amazing.

Anyway, imagine if you had to wait 9 months to get your new BMWs...

My 2 boys had been allocated to my wife, so when I placed my order I was able to modify the hair and eye color to my specifications. I got a production # within a few days and had delivery 5-6 weeks after that (in doggy time). The OB/GYN who delivered them tossed in the factory alarm which kept me up at nite for about 2-2 1/2 weeks after delivery. When they were new, mileage was terrible. You had to keep filling them up after every 4 hours or so. Break-in was another story. The first 1200 miles seemed like years until I had to stop with the changes.

Now I know why we have kids when we're young. If I was to do it today, I would have to go to Munich because of ED. (j/k)
