November 17th --> What next?

///MG · 10-30-2007, 04:25 PM

As of late we've been seeing review after review, some track videos, and have the usual pricing speculation threads one after the other. Nothing substantial from BMW or official press releases (although there shouldn't be any reason to have any).

Anyone wonder what sort of threads will be thrown around on Novemember 17th (or shortly thereafter) when the US configurator goes live and official pricing will be released?

So close yet so far. Not sure about you guys, but the next few weeks will be kind of boring until we can build the car online and mess with prices.

true. then i guess we can make paper models of the 1er and drive them around our desks at work. other than that once the price and config come up this forum will prolly lose alot of activity. .............until.....SPRING

I bet we'll get pricing threads. If the price does come out, people will bitch and moan and not agree with it. If price doesn't come out, people will bitch and moan and not agree with it.

I betting there will be bitch and moan threads. Can I bitch and moan about this thread? Why do we need a thread about thread speculation.... I'm with 1ster.

Now all we need is for someone to hijack this thread.

Have I told you the one about the school nurse and the german shepherd . . . ; -)

Once the official US pricing comes out things will quiet down quite a bit until cars start being delivered. I'm personally waiting for a full road test by the major car magazines.

When the official prices are released, I think we'll be discussing whether the prices are real or fake!

As soon as the real prices are made public, I'm sure we'll get weeks worth of threads filled with "I told you so"!
