My first BMW!
I ordered my first BMW on Saturday, 11/14/15. I am beyond excited. From the second I sat in the sport seats on my test drive, I knew this was the one. Of course it only got better once on the road.
228 i xDrive Deep Sea Blue/Oyster leather Cold Weather, Driver Assistance +, Premium, and Technology packages I ordered from the factory and my dealer said it will probably come in early Jan. Not sure if that is realistic or not. Does anyone know how long it takes for the production # to show up in the system? The one thing I wasn't so pleased with was the run flat tires. I specifically asked if I could get non rfl, and they told me no. Sounded shady to me since I was ordering a custom made car. Anyway, now starts the long wait till January! |

I think you can realistically expect 8 weeks. Mine took ~9 weeks from order date. 9/4-11/12. Regarding the run flats, I know on the M235i you can get summer non-RFTs from the factory, not sure about the 228i. Just ask your dealer what production week you are scheduled for, and it should be complete by that week. Depends on their allocations, etc. |

I ordered my m235i on Saturday too. My dealer told me middle of February at the earliest. I can't see your location since I'm on mobile but mine doesn't have far to travel. Maybe a couple hundred miles from Leipzig to where I'm stationed. Then again I don't know if 228s get priority on the line or how it all works.

Looks stunning! Great color combo.
Did you ever find out why you had to get RFTs? I do think you have to pick the THP to get the Pilot Super Sports but I thought changing to non-RFTs was a no cost option. Either way the car looks sweet. |
