No need to apologize. That's hawtness. Please post more when the weather is more accommodating and you can use your primo photo equipment. Inside and out if you can. We can wait until after that dealer decal is removed.

And the 261's are absolutely schitzophrenic!

Love double spokes, although they can be a PITA to keep clean. Just need a good soft brush. But they look more manageable than the 135M's on the ZHP.

Thanks!

I got an "ok" deal (about halfway between invoice and msrp). This area isn't really being hit with the same crunch as other places due to the soldiers who come back to town with large pockets full of deployment money.

The dealership decal makes me mad I told the salesguy I didn't want any decals or whatever added to the car. Anyone know the best way to get those stupid things off? I'm dropping my other set of vw keys off at the dealer tomorrow I might ask them to remove it since I requested no decals

Biggest gripe is that even though it had an early Feb build date, I do NOT have "year of the one" around the starter

Weird... my local dealer has a lemans blue M-sport in the showroom and it has the year 1 of 1. Great looking car, which tires came on your car btw?

I assume it was ordered then, not off the lot?

mackzilla · 02-27-2009, 08:19 PM

It was ordered in late December.

I'll check in the morning to see which tires it has (they're run-flats, I'm not sure what brand)

IndyMike · 02-28-2009, 04:47 AM

What, no report yet mack?

Oh, forgive my impatience please. You must be out there detailing it too, right?

As far as the sticker is concerned I'd be ticked, too. If it had been me I would probably have told them I won't consummate the deal until it's gone.

And if you told your CA you specifically did not want it on there, then it's just carelessness on his part. Tell them you'll jack the dealership up if you receive a survey on your buying experience from BMW.

But at this point you are probably better off dealing with it yourself. Just use that free dental floss you no doubt received from your dentist, that you likely haven't used since your last visit to their office and gently coax the sticker off there.

There are plenty of threads on debadging that explain the process.

mackzilla · 02-28-2009, 08:47 AM

Weather is still shitty

RockChalk135 · 02-28-2009, 09:47 AM

As far as the logo goes...

If you told them "I don't want it" they should take care of it. You should not have to. That is ridiculous.

Next project is bluetooth retro fit

Will do. When did you order your vehicle?

new2the3 · 02-28-2009, 03:45 PM

I was at the dealer today and checked out a lemans blue 135i that just came in. The build date on the inside sticker was 01/09 and it did not have year 1 of 1.

pimmy · 02-28-2009, 05:00 PM

Hi there from The Netherlands. Ordered a 125i convertible LMB in begin January, and the planned build date is week 11. And as far as i know, in Europe there is no "year of the one".
So still waiting....

PS the interior is Terra leather.

128i, Le Mans Blue, M Sport Package, Heated seats, Ipod/USB

Same as what i ordered except we added BMW Assist and Xenon, I have them both on my 328 and feel they are a must have.

I opted out of Ipod which I also have in my car, felt that the aux input would be OK.

Which interior and trim did you go with?

RIbimmer · 03-02-2009, 02:23 PM

I went with black leatherette. My current car is tan inside and I wanted a change. Black seats + anthracite headliner = aluminum trim for the contrast.

135 Vert Wife's new car
Blue Water and Taupe Boston Leather
All options except the Active Steering.

It is now sailing on the OTELLO and will arive in port on 3/17 and should be at the dealer by 3/25 ish. Asked if she wanted it Dinan'd or the new BMW performance kit and she said no.
