She's finally home!

lichenlt · 06-30-2014, 12:31 AM

After two months of torture, my baby is finally home safe and sound!

Took her home with two euro plates on with no window sticker and two close encounters with police cars in two different states! Thank god they weren't looking LOL, or didn't care which would be pretty surprising.

A special shout-out to my CA, David Padgalskas, at BMW Portland! Thanks for arranging my ED and everything since our first email! I'd recommend anyone in Pacific Northwest who's interested in buying or leasing to contact David. He's a straight shooter and provides great customer service. It was a real pleasure working with him.

Congrats! Enjoy

Lichenlt, Congratulations on your beautiful new BMW! I am so happy that your experience was so good.

phoenixbmwlife · 06-30-2014, 11:15 PM

Nice! I wasn't going to keep my tags on in front but it sure is different. Maybe I'll leave them on for a bit.

Alpine F31 · 06-30-2014, 11:41 PM

Great story! Nice car! Leave the Euro plate on in front!

basiluf · 07-01-2014, 12:33 PM

Nice! I always thought you got MG as well. I'm probably going to put my front Euro plate back on soon.

phoenixbmwlife · 07-01-2014, 01:08 PM

Damnit I can't wait to get my car back already.

I changed it to AW last minute to get my monthly payment below $500 lol and I'm glad I did. I am loving the white+red combo right now.

paulao · 07-01-2014, 04:12 PM

Congrats!! very nice

Yeah, it looks really good. I had AW, so I wanted a change.

sstarrx3 · 07-02-2014, 09:59 AM

Nice, I would lose the Euro plate unless a front plate is required. We only have one plate in NC...I moved here from Portland and I can't remember if front plates are required there or not! Been 7 years...I am getting old!

Steven1077 · 07-02-2014, 10:24 AM

I actually think they look odd without a plate on the front, like it was designed for one and it's missing

I think it looks better with European plates. American plates are too short and too wide for that space, which makes the plate look out of place.

very nice ride

lichenlt · 08-17-2014, 03:46 PM

Took her to the Yellowstone.

jwr0721 · 08-18-2014, 12:04 PM

Beautiful car!

Mine is MG - which I love - but I feel like you really lose the effect of the defuser with gray since it's the same color as the rest of the car.

VMRWheels · 08-18-2014, 02:20 PM

Awesome ride! I was tempted to take a road trip in the new AW 2-series up to Yellowstone too.. you beat me to it haha

Thanks for the tip on the salesman. I'm looking to buy a M235i once my current ride sells (2009 Audi A4). Will definitely look him and the dealership up!

Nice ride - I would like the AW, but the wife is dead against it. EB it is!
