My apologies if I made that implication that you thought the BMW would be better. I just said wow because coming from a Lotus sets your expecations incredibly high for a sporting drive. And your you a Lotus owner to consider the 135i says a lot.

No need for apology. Just giving a little background on my situation. I am very glad I have my deposit in .I'm currently 5th on the list at my dealer but some of the others are waiting for a convertible and someone always drops off. My sales rep still believes I'll get first allocation provided they don't get allotted 2 cars or something crazy.

Everyone knows that ED cars don't come out of a dealer's allotment, right? Another reason to ED.

I'f I could have gotten away with a 2 seater as my only car a used Elise would have been very high on the list. Maintenance would be an issue because I only know of one Lotus dealer in MD and they arn't exactly close.
I figure it will still be several months before we see reviews in the buff books. |

I guess we'll see, because I've got an order in for a May 12, 2008 ED.

Used the German or UK options list, can't recall which. Of course, I doubt the order is any further "in" than my saleman's desk at this point, although he did say it might be possible to send it up to the next level in Denver. We'll see.

I got mine 2nd week of US consumption via ED, but there were people who picked theirs up the previous week. He did as I did for my ED, I suppose. For ED, you reserve a requested date, later on they tell you if they can accommodate you. Most of the time, they can. |

Holy crap, sorry about the delay everyone. I have been out of the office the past few days on business meetings and this thread completely exploded. I got the fax and honestly it is complete garbage. It doesn't reference anything about options or pricing for anything. All it is, is basically an agreement to put a refundable $1,000 deposit down for a 135 coupe. I haven't had a chance to call the salesmen back, but I plan on calling him today and letting him know that I would like to see an order sheet with options. Like I said before it would be pointless for me to scan this up on the boards for you guys since it is all hand written on Vista BMW forms and does not show any information worth while. Again sorry for the delay in posting, but I will get back to everyone once I speak with him today.

Just updating my previous post since I don't want to leave you all hanging again. I called and left a message with the salesmen and emailed him about a better order form that showed something worthwhile. As soon as I get a response you will all know. Either way I still take his word that the car will be in the states by January. He has no reason to lie to me about it.

Well then that makes two of us atleast who have heard the car will be out in January (probably towards the end of the month) and not in March. Either way I have no intention of getting this car before June or July time. I am just playing along with the whole ordering process to keep all the guys on this forum as up to date as possible.

Just a quick update, no order forms or pricing for a couple of months. Only thing a deposit would do is hold my place in line when I can officially place my order for January delivery. Hope this helps anyone who is putting down a deposit.

I am very sceptical about a January delivery in the US.

I'm just reporting what I have been told. Honestly though, why is it so hard to believe? It was supposed to be March, now it is January. It's moved up two months at most and the car will be released in other countries earlier then January so it's not like they can't release it here...I dunno I guess we will know for sure in January.
