2017 230i Fresh from the dealer

Chili_Palmer · 03-14-2017, 12:21 PM

So March 1st the dealer called to let me know my new BMW had arrived. As soon as I was out of work I raced up to the dealership to get my first glimpse and was surprised that it was truly fresh off the truck.http://www.2addicts.com/forums/image.../happyanim.gif

Sadly, I was not able to take it home since I had another week till turn-in on my VW TDI and would be out of town for a week on business and did not want to subject such a beauty to a week at an airport parking garage. So I set the date of pick-up as the 10th and I am now the proud owner of a 2017 Estoril Blue/Terra 230i 6MT with M-Sport package, Track Handling package, Lighting package, and power seats. This is my first BMW and I am glad I waited for it.

Very nice, congratulations. And a special award for going to the trouble to paint your whole house to match the car - usually reserved for just the garage bay

Hahaha, thanks Maynard! I guess I would have had to buy a lot of paint if I had gone with Valencia Orange!

Terra looks great! I miss the saddle from my E92 but I think a return to a BMW rich brown will soothe that itch!

chester22 · 03-15-2017, 10:29 AM

Stickshift, well done. Love the color combo. Was it from vista bmw here in creek?

MahNuel · 03-15-2017, 12:11 PM

Congratulations on your new car

Chili_Palmer · 03-15-2017, 12:26 PM

Thanks, I'm anticipating getting out of work so I can go drive again!

Chester22, I picked it up through Coggin Ft. Peirce. My salesman was awesome, sent me to the track twice at PBIR and helped me find every discount I qualified for.

chester22 · 03-15-2017, 12:33 PM

I was at PBIR a few months ago for an event. Fun place. What made you go from South FL all the way up to Ft Pierce?

Chili_Palmer · 03-15-2017, 12:39 PM

That it is, I've put a few laps down with my other car.

I live in Port St. Lucie so Ft. Pierce is my local dealer.
