Finally ordered, now the 9-10 week wait

Smallbodybimmer · 03-05-2008, 01:00 PM

Hi guys. This is my first post. I put my order in last night:

AW, black leatherette, Sport, Cold, CA, Ipod....:biggrin:
now the awful wait. Looks like around early May for me. I guess I'll just have to drool over your delivery pictures until then.

Congrats......where in southern MD are you?
I'm up near Westminster and my car was offloaded in NJ last night.
Another AW 1er...hmmm seems to be the lead color at this point.
Did you vote on the "what color did you order" poll?

See you on the road somewhere :w00t:

Congrats...
At least you're assured great road trip weather by then (that's what I'm telling myself). 8)

thanks, guys. I'm in southern md near lexington park. I wonder how many 1ers I will see down here. While I was still a forum lurker, I think I saw one guy posting who lives here. Maybe we will at least cross paths. I've only seen probably 3 different 335s down here and they've been out for a year! Curiously the drivers were all middle aged women, one with a baby seat. They didn't even glance over when I pulled next to them in the 540. Oh well

Congrats sir. So is it realistic to say 9-10 weeks?

When I order one, I will save about $450 a week until it comes in.
Thats most of my down payment. I was figuring about 8 weeks.
Thats from day 1 correct? Order at dealer and it takes 9-10 weeks to get to that dealer?

I ordered yesterday with a production date of the 17th... been told to expect it late April. So, that puts it around 8 weeks. We'll see about that. I guess it depends on when the dealers alotment production dates are.

Thanks. I believe the dealer was just trying to cover themself with 9-10. In case of any unforeseen delays like shipping or weather affecting shipping. I believe it is more like 8-9, so having ordered yesterday, I expect late April, early May, same as 128iDawg. I guess we'll see. Another week of waiting after waiting 8 won't be too bad I guess.
