2008 m3 ordered

bahnstormer · 02-12-2008, 02:44 PM

Hi all, I have been viewing this forum for awhile now and after reading everyone post I finally ordered my car yesterday. For the past year I have driving my 550I and I wanted to get back into the M game so I pulled the trigger. Its aw/foxred, tech, prem, heated front seats, ipod adapter, hd radio,DCT, 19"wheels. Now the wait begins. Again Thanks.

Welcome to the forum, bahnstormer!

Some say anticipation is the best, but I don't agree. Have you been told an estimated delivery date?

Best regards, south

bahnstormer · 02-12-2008, 03:34 PM

no not yet. but as of yesterday bmw excepted the order. so hopefully i will see the car in 8 to 10 weeks.

Congratulations and welcome to the club AW/Fox club. You might want to make future posts on this over on the Ordering forum, rather than the General forum.

I'll be shocked if you get your car in 8-10 weeks with M-DCT after placing the order yesterday. All the M-DCT production for March-May has already been spoken for. Good luck, let us know if you get lucky with early production.

I've had a deposit at my dealer for 16 months, and got very lucky with first week M-DCT production.

And also learn the difference between "accepted" and "excepted".

Lately I feel like my order has been "excepted" too.

Are you keeping your 550i? If not, why are you dumping it for the //M?

Oh and we need to know a few more things:

-age
-income
-whether you live with your parents, rent or own

I keed, I keed......

Congrats!

If they excepted the order, he won't get it at all. If the accepted the order, he might get it in 8-10 weeks.

Welcome bahnstormer and congrats on your order ! Go easy on him guys with the accepted/excepted, he's a newbie and might never come back after your comments - you probably scared the s*** out of him

You also need to post your sexual orientation, which comes up when arguments cannot be settled through reasoning or consensus, and is therefore highly relevant.

Hans was joking, and so am I by the way--at least about the relevance part...

Anticipation sucks, I'm sick of it. Just give me the damn car already.
