BMW might be pulling our chain right now but the wait will be worth it.

My dad went throug multiple caddys, including fleetwoods with copycat foot rests. I am buying this car because it is scary good on paper. If not then 335i coupe. I am lit on the ctr but rare and no deals as few found. Im buying the one straight up but still like the looks of the new cts...nice job...but the one is scary for what it is not.

+1. I just chalked it up to over exuberance for the 1er.

I don't think there is one, so I just struggled with the German... which is fine.

I don't know how realistic it is for US customers, since they're offering cloth seats and such, but we'll see.

The one cool thing about it though, is that you can see it in various colors, and with about 3 different wheel choices, although I still think the wheels that are in the press photos (available for configuration) look the best.

I thought it was a new variant of American English (Amerilish?). :iono:
I tried putting it through my ebonics translator, but it crashed.
