We wouldn't be 135 enthusiasts without a little enthusiasm, now would we...?

Mea culpa.

I was not paying close enough attention.

This should be the big week for you. I think there will be several members here - present company included - crossing their fingers on your behalf. Again, please share the joy (pics of your 1, too??).

Will do!! And I look forward to doing a run with everyone!

Okay... It's Wednesday already. Any news about your (pending) 1?

bubble · 10-08-2008, 10:28 AM

Not yet...

It's at the center, so hopefully it gets on a truck today or tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll have it by Saturday.

weezie77 · 10-08-2008, 09:26 PM

I've driven by two 1's in Houston and the owners wouldn't even look over at me!!! boooo

One of these days I'll run into a real 1 addict!!

FunkyTown128 · 10-08-2008, 09:31 PM

If you ever make it up to Dallas, I'll give you a proper Official One-Wave (see my posts in The "WAVE" thread for description).

Make sure you hit the dealer up for a full tank of gas and at least two BMW ball caps.

Oh, by the way, it looks like great driving weather for you this weekend. According to Weather Channel online...

SATURDAY: High 85 / Low 66 - Partly sunny.
SUNDAY: High 86 / Low 66 - Partly sunny.

Cheers!

Where are you picking up at?
Monday off, that's sounding pretty good. I might have to borrow your idea. :smile:

I wonder how many times a week I'm allowed to call my SA without developing a reputation of being a pest.

Oooh, ball caps would have been a good idea. I got the tank of gas and free floormats, but no swag. (I took delivery through Autobahn, despite living right by Classic and having bought a MINI through John Roberts then->BMW/MINI of Dallas now.

All good dealers. We actually live close to BMW/MINI of Dallas (where wife got her Cooper S) but I got my 1 at Classic. Funny how our situations are a bit similar, or mirror images... or something. The freebie floor mats were the best perk; I held out for a set of all-weathers to use now so I could box up the fabric ones for use when the car is eventually traded-in (a good lesson learned long ago).

BimmerKid87 · 10-09-2008, 10:18 AM

I wasn't real impressed with BMW/MINI of Dallas. Biggest drawback was its ghetto location...nasty, I think they're moving soon though. Classic and Autobahn are in much nicer areas, and I've had a great experience at both.

redwood · 10-09-2008, 10:21 AM

Yeah, BMW of Dallas is moving to Lemmon Ave., but sometime in '09 I think. When I test drove a 135 there in the spring, the sales guy was telling us about it. I've seen the location, but not much was done back then.

Well hopefully its better than the current place. Dallas dealerships tend to be in the weirdest locations. Anyone been to Lamborghini of Dallas? LOL

bubble · 10-09-2008, 11:00 AM

Yep, they have the layout/floorplans for the new location at the current dealership. Should be nice and a great location for both brands of cars.

LOL at the Lambo location - it is pretty bad over there.

FunkyTown128 · 10-09-2008, 01:55 PM

Picking up at Autobahn myself.....got some free floormats outta the deal....gonna try for a couple of hats though!!!!

Picking up this afternoon!! Whether it's ready or not, I'm fleeing work early. If not, the clock will start moving backwards!
