Congrats!! What color did you get? Can't wait to see pics.

I just ordered an E92 335i from Inskip. I am not getting it until December.

Who was your sales associate?

Nice! I too will share your joy someday, mine's a week 44 production, which according to my calculations isn't until the end of this month. Wonder if I'll get the car this year???

If you guys see a white Maxima giving you a thumbs up on the turnpike, that's me...

I know this is a question for the salesperson, but I wanted to see what people say here--it takes 8 wks., right? From when??

For example, I ordered on 10/7, and the BMW system that the saleswoman has shows week 44 production. That's not until 10/30....would I get this car this year, or in Jan.?? What's the over/under???!!

Mine is suppose to be built after yours and I am suppose to take delivery the week prior to Christmas.

I have never had a car take 8 weeks and this will be my 3rd BMW I have had built. My first one took 6 weeks. My 545i only took 5 weeks as he was able to catch a car just about to be produced and modify it.

Where are you located? That will make a difference. Your car could spend more time in transit on the road.

Yeah, where are you located? Mine took 6 weeks to the day, from order to arriving at the dealer.

Very cool, thanks Zirenz. That's exactly the type of real-world info I wanted.

I'm in Philly, so that shouldn't be too far from Elizabeth, NJ or Newark. Mine was the same deal, they modified an existing order, so maybe I'm 2 2wks. shy of XMAS then.

OT: How do you think you'll like the 335 vs. your 545?

You should definately have your car before the holiday's.


Good question on the 545i vs. the 335i coupe.

I had concerns about going from a V8 down to an inline 6. I test drove both the 328i and 335i coupe. I knew I was going with the 335i if I went with the coupe but I still wanted to feel both engines. The 328i is a great car but I missed the power of the V8. I wasn't ready to drop 100hp. When I drove the 335i I didn't miss the V8 at all. It felt like a V8 to me. It pulled more than the 545i and I really think it will be as fast if not quicker with better gas mileage. The exhaust note was also a selling point. Reminded me more of the exhaust on the 6 series.

Bottom line: I wanted a coupe, wanted another BMW but wasn't going to spend the money on a 6 series just yet, Z4 coupe was too small for a daily driver for me, so my option was the 335i. I am also turned off by the lack of interior color choices in the 6. You only get 3 here in the states. They should offer some type of brown in the 6 as well. I may be ready for the 6 in 2 years after another lease. By then it will have undergone it's mid life refresh and maybe some things will change.

No guarantees, but about a month from the build date to when you pick up the car is typical for the East Coast. That means the end of November or first week in December for you.
