Will the 1 series be a 2008 or a 2009 car?

[cman321]

Car is released in spring in US. So does that mean the model year is going to be 2009? If so, that would help resale a bit.

It's a 2008. That's part of why the first model year gets the engraving, badging, etc. To make up for the fact that it's a short model year.

Yeah, and to make it more confusing, BMW has said that it will offer the engraving/badging etc on all 2008 CALENDAR model year...

So it appears that some of the 2009's (bought in sept-dec 08) will also get the engraving/badging :iono:

Remember, there a difference between calendar year and model year (MY) as most MY's start in september...

[jraymond]

might as well just wait till september for an 09?

Not to be a smart @ss, but it will be both. :wink:

Why are you guys in the States so hung up on the model year.:iono:

I don't care what year the car is. I just want mine. :headbang:

It makes the difference on resale and usually each model year includes minor changes in features and bug fixes from the previous model year.

+1

Yes, you can wait for the 2009 model to come out in order to fix any bugs, quirks, etc. But you can use the same logic in thinking that the 2010 model will be just that much better than the 2009. In the end, I want mine, and I want it as soon as I can :biggrin:

[cman321]

I am a chronic car buyer so generally buy cars every 2 -3 years. I generally get a low or no optioned high resale car (bmw) and buy the car early in the model year and do just fine on resale at the 2 or 3 year mark.

This is probably a good thing to delay purchase a bit anyway.

I'll wait till I can order an 09 if I get the Bimmer.

Wow, last time I checked it is an SAV, with a 6-spd manual. Hmmm, interesting, when have I called the 1 series gay? I wanted a 1 series in 2004 when I bought my X3 for 3 grand under invoice (hence the reason I bought an X3). And I still want a 1-series, hence the reason I am on a 1-series site, maybe. MORON

And yes you still drive a womens suv(sav), what ever you want to call it.

[jraymond]

lol, the written word is poorest understood form of communication. However, I can see where you could think I was bashing the 1. Go look at my other posts. I'm just objective.

I was merely stating that the masses won't get this car and it was stupid to put a deposit on it, won't be that hard to get one, just like my WOMENS X3! :w00t:

[jraymond]

also, funny you don't mention what you drive? I guess I'm confident enough with my sexuality to drive a womens SAV! LOL! I'm sure you drive a Ferrari though right? At least something macho Mr. tough guy right!? :w00t:

There's no law that says BMW has to start the 2009 Model Year for the 1er in the Fall. They might decide to continue the 2008 Model Year until the end of December.

Keep dancing!

It’s not hard to look at my info under my screen name dipsh*t, no Ferrari, but I have unfortunately driven an X3 as a loaner, they suck!
