MW M235i xDrive order Monday
My dealer found a MW M235i xDrive Terra, Cold, Premium, Driver Asst, Tech, HK, Enhanced BT, Alarm, and Stainless Pedals. Car is at the port originally headed to Ohio, will be re routed to my dealer. Only thing missing is black grills. Was starting to get a little concerned about finding one. Now need to start thinking about some light mods-dark tint, cold air intake to start.
This will be an exciting moment considering my 328 GT in EB was totaled in the flood we had in early August. It took me two months to get the claim settled. |

Congrats OP...sorry must suck to lose a car like that. At least I know you will love your new car, truly an amazing vehicle. Hopefully you will agree it was worth the wait.

Congratulations. You were lucky to find a car spec'd close to the way you wanted it, especially loaded like that. The black grilles can be ordered through your dealer's parts department and installed there. No loss there but they'll probably cost more with the installation than you would have paid for them on a build. Small price to pay to get your car quickly. My build week isn't until the first week of November so I have a long wait ahead.

It was devastating, but considering we only lost a vehicle not so bad. The best/worst part of this is that my wife was driving and she had never really driven my car much. Considering the psychological trauma she caused (kidding), she has been joining me on test drives, which has been a lot of fun. She is also angling for a new x6.

I believe I have the only 6MT that the dealership has got in. The only things I would have done differently had I ordered it, would be the automatic high beams and the Driver Assistance Plus package. Maybe the parking assistant, but I would have to try that before considering to buy it. Also got really lucky that I got them to hold the car for me, while I was taking care of the financial aspect, and made sure that they wouldn't do any pre-delivery prep other than the mechanical type. I was able to pick it up with only 10 miles on the odometer and all of the exterior shipping protection so that I could have my detailer do all of the paint prep starting with a near flawless finish before some Opti-Coat Pro. |

Right now it's looking like a Wednesday delivery, if that's the case the new car will take its first of many trips to Columbus to pick up our oldest daughter. She's excited to see the new car, will let her drive too.

Congratulations on the new car, hopefully it arrives soon and you'll be able to fully enjoy. I've had my car 2 days only and love it more than any other car I've ever been in.

I'm in MN and the Xdrive is top of my list in 2015.. Be sure and give us a good review after you've had some seat time. So far I've driven the M235i RWD and loved it. I know I can get by with snows and RWD, but with all the winter we have up here I know how much better Xdrive is with some good snow shoes. ps - tell your wifey I had two X6's and loved em both - but not as much as my wife did!

Which dealer? I am sticking with Grand Blanc. Tried to work a deal with Farm Hills and could not get it done with better numbers. G Blanc is closer to our house w/less traffic headed that way compared to Farm Hills. They have worked hard on my service business and done a great jog. I have a great Tint guy I use in Shelby Twp-he did 25% all around and 50% on my windshield on my GT and it was awesome. He also installs xpel, and looks like I can get a discount with my CCA membership.
