Placed an order for a 135i...under invoice
Just placed an order for a 135i Coupe...
6mt, LeMans Blue, Gray boston, glacier silver trim, M Sport, Premium, heated seats
I haven't gotten a production # yet, but hopefully by early next week if the dealer can grab an allocation from another car.
I think I've been a member of this forum since it's inception (and the announcement of the 1 for the US), and after several years I'm finally getting one! After my 2005 STI came off lease I was heavily swayed by 0% financing on the new body style STI, and wound up getting a 2008 for a good price rather than the 1 series. I am now officially done with the STI, and wound up back here. The allure of a 2 door sports coupe (and German) was too much to fight off for a 2nd time, and I'm very happy to make the 135i my next car.
A couple of local dealers eventually came down to about $200 over invoice (which seems to be about as low as most will go), which would have been Ok, but after almost buying the car I realized that a friend that I hadn't spoken to in a while was a ca at another dealer. He was able to give me a pretty solid deal under invoice (just proving that there is always room to haggle down lower). Perfect.
Anyway, can't wait for the car to get here, and I'm sure I'll be back here to update the production status, etc. After delivery I'm planning on doing the golf tee mod as soon as the car is in my garage, and maybe a cp-e exhaust later on. Hopefully by the time I take delivery Cobb will have released something for the N55, because I already have an accessport just waiting for some BMW maps to be loaded on to it. It would essentially be free power, and you just can't beat that.
