Ohio Residents...Suggestion?

[imported_Oreo]

Hey guys, I already posted this in another thread but no1 replied.

I need suggestions. I am planning on graduating from College in May and I will begin working living near Columbus area (Dublin) probably by August. I was wondering:

-Will there be 135i's in the dealer lots by August?
-If not, with how much anticipation time should I order my 135i from a dealer?
-Which dealer in this area do you guys suggest?

Any other suggestions or comments are welcomed. Thanks

I live in Marblehead, OH which is near Cedar Point. However, I traveled down to Columbus to purchase my 135i from Louis Smith at MAG. I highly recommend you contact Mr. Smith if your looking for a BMW, he is a fantastic Client Advisor. I'm sure they will have 135i's on the lot by August and much sooner. Good luck.

Thanks for the only reply

How can I contact Mr. Smith? What do you mean when you say at MAG ?

BMW Cleveland has had 128i, 135i and 128 convertible on the lot for over a month. Placed my order early March, picking it up 4/22 (128i convertible). BMW Financial is eating the last 2 months of my current lease (2005 Z4). Hope that gives you some idea of lead time.

MAG = Midwastern Auto Group
Mr. Smith = Louis Smith in Sales

I was raised in Cbus but now live in Cincinnati. MAG is THE place to go in Columbus for BMW and is actually right there in Dublin. In Cincinnati The BMW store, bmwstore.com has 5 135's currently in stock. As you may have seen it's nice for a dealer to have a 128 or 135 in stock but if you're really picky about your options you will probably end up ordering one which will then take 6-8 weeks. feel free to test drive and plan in advance. hope all goes well

I also purchased my 135i from MAG and they are top notch. There are two locations though so make sure you go to the BMW location (which is separate from their main campus).

You will need to decide if you want to hold out for a 2009 model or better yet - look for a good deal on a 2008 model. MAG likely won't be wheelin' & dealin' but if you can find one that they have been sitting on then you might be in luck. Best of luck and let me know if I can help since I am right in town.
