They also eliminated exterior paint colors and interior colors.
*I still may get one due to limited choices, however I don't want the horrendous rear seats/head rests they have been using in the convertibles since 2012.
My 11' 128i vert lease is up on July 16th. I wonder if I can extend the lease until September and then order one for November production .
If I can't order a F23...I'd have to rush to order a 2013 E88 1 series vert or wait it out for a good deal on a 2014 Z4 2.8i sport pkg. (I wouldn't mind waiting for a 17' F23)
This is going to be a stressful and confusing year ahead! I don't want to make the wrong decision. Price is important too. I usually put $4k down on a lease and like to keep my lease down to around $420-430 a month.
I'm paying $398 for my 11' 128i currently.

You up for a drive to go and purchase your car?
You need to go see David Aviles @ Northwest BMW in Baltimore--he will give you the VIR pricing (roughly equiv to getting the ED price). My dad and I drove my '08 out there to drop it off when I got the '11. Saved me ~$200 a month over my previous lease payment. For a more expensive car.
With that being said, my guess is the BMWFS will work with you if you're in the market for another one of their cars. I have heard on here that you can extend the lease by 4 months, no questions asked, if your lease is through BMWFS. So that's at least a starting point for you...
I love the 135is, and I bet I could pick one up pretty cheaply as the majority of people in that market will be waiting for the M235...but that would be my 3rd E82 in 5 years, and I want something that looks different...
I might end up with a GTI for a few years whilst waiting for the M2 as well, we will see...
