Even left the translucent chapter "separators" in place and placed the box on my bookshelf.

I got #33.

I got my book last night! It's #000568. Like Larry said, it doesn't really coincide with your VIN or delivery date? I took delivery on March 28th and the VIN is 22113. The book is great though and yes, it's back in the original box with the original page seperators and sitting safely on the bookshelf!

larryn · 07-01-2008, 09:23 AM

Damn you guys.. at least let some little kid drool on them or your puppy chew on 'em, so when I sell my car with a pristine Year 1 of 1 book, I'll rake in the bux!

LMAO! BMW should ship the books with these tucked into them for those of us with leatherette...

No longer vaporware. Showed up today

#1600

larryn · 07-01-2008, 07:05 PM

Yeah baby! You broke the thousand mark! Up to 1600. Yikes.

How many people are getting these things, and just saying "whatever" and tossing them?

Tell the truth.... did you smell it? :wink:

Year1of1 · 07-01-2008, 09:00 PM

i wonder if it has to do w/ location? essex and I live close to BMW HQ and have the lowest numbers?

1st thing I did....:thumbup:

flpnout · 07-01-2008, 09:39 PM

Finally I got my book and certificate today!! I guess it was worth the wait after all!! :-)

cracka · 07-01-2008, 09:46 PM

Pretty spiffy. :biggrin:

#000524 here.

atr_hugo · 07-01-2008, 09:57 PM

I keep mergeing all those little standalone threads . . . we got us a pretty big snowball building here!

flpnout · 07-01-2008, 10:21 PM

Sorry forgot to mention production #001925.

kbimmer135i · 07-02-2008, 01:11 AM

i got that trifold thing with dvd/cd a month ago and today i got the commemorative book.

certificate #1934

i wonder if these certificate # is based on how early you ordered your car.

TP 135i · 07-02-2008, 05:01 AM

I got mine finally last night #001154
How do they come up with the numbers ????
I think that they use a random number generator.

And yes...the first thing I did was smell it

alivebacon · 07-02-2008, 10:48 AM

I got mine yesterday afternoon!
Same, smelt it. If I had a AW with Lemon interior, I would keep the booklet in the car to add to the clean-ness.

BrizzNasty · 07-02-2008, 11:23 AM

GOT MINE. AWESOME BOOK

PrimoM3 · 07-02-2008, 11:26 AM

Who's going to get #2002 :thumbup:

stampchez · 07-02-2008, 11:30 AM

I got the book yesterday. #000649

ChrisM · 07-02-2008, 12:38 PM

I hear the doorbell ring, so I run downstairs and open the door to find a white package from BMW at my doorstep

It reads, "All cars come with an owner's manual. The 1 series also comes with an adventure novel." Sorry gtg read through it now.
