Thanks!
Are there any official statistics on how many N54s experience this problem. I still have not decided if I want the 28 or the 35. Since I plan to keep the car for more than 5 years, reliability is an issue and that seems to point to the 28.

Well, I have no hard information... but a quick look into our service bay doesn't convey a sense of confidence in the TT engines...

Hi I was wondering if you know what the bmw owner's circle website was? I recently did a eurodelivery and dropped off my car in vienna. Trying to figure out how to track the shipment.

what's a fair price to offer over invoice for the 135i? $750?
i've tried $1,000 over invoice and all the dealers accepted them immediately.

i was going to make the order but got slapped with the "training fee ... $180", and "amco ... $400". what the heck are these? am i being ripped off?

That is too bad. It will be my only car, so reliability is really a must.

No comment on the pricing itself, however assuming you are not doing ED, training fee is legit @ $180 & Maco fees are real as well. There is no set price for that though... it changes by region

Quick question in regards to ED. Can you choose where to have the car delivered as far as which port it comes to? Or do they insist on taking it to whichever dealer you bought it from? The reason I ask is because I found a dealer in Cali that is willing to give me a great deal, but I live in Tampa Fl. So I was curious if I could do all of the paperwork with the dealer in Cali and then upon return have it shipped to Tampa's port.

No can do on the port issue... my advice do ED & PCD combo... you just have to get yourself to SC to pick up the car. Won't cost you any extra

Dbtheo, can you confirm whether or not the 2010 models with the base audio system have an amp located beneath the trunk liner, like the 2008-2009 models did? Also, do you have a ballpark estimate of how much it costs to install the BMW short shift kit on a 128i? Thanks.

$475 + tax for the kit installed, includes the boot & knob as well.


The sound should inlcude an amp... granted a lower watt per channel than previously. Honestly... doesn't sound so hot. Noticable difference in quality

the only 128 anywhere with Terra interior is a regular sport/ not M sport... you would need to order.

Cannot order 2010 128i in ATL area?

Dave:

I was told today that was no more capacity left to order any 2010 128's.
CA told me my order would have to be placed in February for an April delivery and it would be a 2011 model. No big deal since my lease ends in April.

Is this right? My CA is a super dude and treated me very right 3 years ago- just wondering.

My long list of options probably did not help: Alpine white, Moonroof, Comfort access, M Sport, Premium radio, Sirius, Xenon, automatic and Red leather.

Thats what one of the dealerships told me. I then called my next local one, and the rep who I spoke with said he "confirmed" that I can place an order right now, and it will still come in the time frame of 8-10 weeks, and it will be a 2011 model. So two different dealerships telling me two different things...

Hey DBTheo,

I am planning on ordering a 135i, but just one quick question about some packages.

I really dont want to get a sport package or a M sport package. I dont care at all about the sport seats, or the steering wheel, or the removed limiter, or even the wheels. But I have to have the shadow line trim. That chrome trim is killing it! But I hate to spend $1000+ on a package that I dont really want just so I can change a trim... What are my options if any?

either pay for a sports package or pay to have the trim replaced later or find some one who might trade trim with you

Hey dbtheo,

Probably more offtopic compared to other questions here, but I am wanting to end a lease early to get a 135 for the Spring. Can you offer any advice? I am willing to pay the lease note off completely, but don't know if VW would be willing to do this. I posted the details in this thread --> http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=340692

Sorry if this is considered a crosspost/too offtopic.
