the story of my friend ordering a m235i and what happens when they are hard to order
so a friend of mine, software engineer early 30s strolled into a bmw dealership with his 2 little girls (3 of his coworkers, also friends of mine have a new X5 and a 335is and a e38 7 series. he just sees bmws every day at lunch) just to browse
sales guy asks him if he wants to test drive a m235 and he drives the 1 m235i on the lot, and decided, you know what i've never bought a nice car in my life and maybe this is the last chance i have to get one because my daughters will be older and ill have to send them to college etc (his daughters are like 4 and 7) and i'll never have the money for it.... so he falls in love with the m235i since his 2 daughters loved it and they can easily sit in the back and they liked him driving around like a lunatic in it. orders an estoril blue m235i, 8at, LSD, tech, premium etc. pretty much loaded. has it custom ordered in july, and it was supposed to arrive this week. Anyway, this week the dealer inform him that the car was damaged in shipment beyond repair and would have to be reordered which could take months since they dont have any build slots at that dealer. my friend, having basically sat their in anticipation of his toy for like 5 months is crushed. You would think this story is sad. But then again my friend has some issues with impulse control.... and this morning on facebook i see what he ended up doing.... the m235i can make a man wildly insane and lose it. cautionary tale.

All about the upgrade, hopefully the dealer made it worth his while.

Sounds like it worked out perfectly.
Similar story happened to me but didn't end up so well.. Signed the papers for MW M235i Premium Tech Alarm HK Driver Assist Enhanced BT $46,800 Could've drove it off the lot that night but I went by myself and had no where to leave my Civic so decided to pick it up the next day.. Next day while on my way to the dealership.. SA called and said they accidentally sold the car. Ended up with a less loaded M235i for $45,775. Oh how I wish I got a white one though... |

Happy to hear all turned out well, and he got the 2nd most fun car in the lineup, i joke. I've heard of such things happening and a good dealership will take care of you in that situation and it seems like they did.
