Finally have a delivery date.
So after nearly a year and a half of obsessing over this car, I finally ordered my 235 a little over a week ago. I got my PCD date yesterday (April 15) and I'm afraid I may lose my sanity before then.
AW M235 6MT Tech/Navigation Sensatec H/K Speakers Driver's Assistance Package Orbit Gray wheels Heated seats MSRP was around $49,970 including delivery, and my sale price was $45,572, including the $1,000 option. I've been driving an Acura TL for the last 9 years and, while it's been a great car, this will be my first new car and my first car of good quality, so I want to make sure I take good care of it. What is everyone's opinion on the extended maintenance program? I'm intending to purchase the car and keep it for 5+ years, so I'd imagine I should break even if purchasing the extended maintenance, but I've read conflicting thoughts. |

Congrats!
My order for PCD went in late Thursday night. Still in status 112 with no confirmed production date, but your timeline makes me hopeful I will get my expected late April/early May delivery. I also got a 6spd 235. Maybe I'll get bumped up and we can do a photoshoot. |

Congrats. The wait is brutal dude. I ordered on 12/14/15. My PCD date is 3/9/16. I can't wait!
Speaking of waiting, you don't have to buy the extended warranty immediately. You can wait until your warranty is about to run out. That way you can decide if you're going to keep the car or not. If you decide not to keep it then you didn't waste money on the extended warranty. You can also shop around the price of the warranty with different dealers.

My main concern with delaying the extended maintenance plan was BMW's decision to tweak how the maintenance works/what it covers. If I go ahead and buy it now, the extended maintenance will continue covering the brakes, clutch, etc., but I'm not sure if that will be the case if I try to extend it in ~2 years or so. Sounds like a topic that would be worth doing a bit of digging for information. Last edited by Sir Thomas Bombadil; 02-09-2016 at 07:00 AM.. |

To help with the obsessive calling for info setup a contact on your phone with the following phone number. Replace the X's with your production number. The commas are 1 second pauses. This way you just call the contact and then don't have to key in any prompts. 8008311117,,2,,,XXXXXXX,,1 |

Haha, I hope you don't call every 3 hours like I did. Also, put your phone on mute if you're in a somewhat loud environment and using speaker phone. The robot will try to interpret the background noise as you making verbal entries.

Got my PCD date the week after you - 4/22!!
I should have known with an uncle in Greenville, but the lack of flight options from Philly are a little scary so far. |

My vehicle is in transit according to the robot lady on the phone, which is exactly what My BMW says on bmwusa.com. How do I track the boat? We are flying into SC and driving back to Chicago, staying in Nashville for one night. Anyone know the best place to eat in Nashville?

Call your dealer and they can tell you what boat you're on. I live in Charleston, SC so I was able to go to the harbor and see the actual boat. I took my boys with me and made it a guy's trip. It was cool to involve them a bit.

Edit: On second thought, you must have been okay with your deal at the time if you made it. This forum is a great tool when you are shopping and negotiating but dangerous once you've signed. There's always going to be someone out there who pushed that extra bit. Last edited by redontheline; 02-15-2016 at 05:59 PM.. |
