Will the pub be available at time of delivery?

Templedogg · 03-01-2008, 02:14 PM

Nice find!!! I had not seen this yet. Thanks.

Oregon · 03-01-2008, 02:17 PM

The pub has been rumored though no credible evidence til' this bimmerfile note.

E82tt6 · 03-01-2008, 04:08 PM

Interesting, I'll ask my dealer about it next time I go in.

gbridger · 03-01-2008, 05:35 PM

Hey guys - those are my hands and my book so let me know if you have any questions.

ARES45 · 03-01-2008, 05:39 PM

How did you get it already?

cracka · 03-01-2008, 05:41 PM

Thanks for the photos, Gabe! So the plan is to deliver it with the car?

128er · 03-01-2008, 06:01 PM

So does this mean only 120 books were made...so will only 120 1er's be sold in 2008??!!

If you read the text with those pictures:

Quote:

What you see in the photos below is a pre-production copy. This is number 56 out of 120 that were made.

We should get the "real" (non-pre-production) ones with our 1ers.

128er · 03-01-2008, 06:13 PM

OHH!!! I get it...thank God, I almost had an aneurysm because I haven't ordered my 128er yet!

E82tt6 · 03-02-2008, 12:36 AM

I wonder if I'll get it when I pick up in Europe, or in the US...

mrgoochio · 03-02-2008, 02:37 AM

I can't wait, I'll read every page.. twice.

Italteen3 · 03-02-2008, 12:45 PM

This is just another thing that makes the wait that much more hard. Guess you have to look at it in a good way, we are getting more little goodies!

1ToBeOn2Wheels · 03-02-2008, 04:24 PM

Also a reminder that we're getting a special car indeed.

Here is the high quality set from flickr (gbridger) that bimmerfile ripped off from to their "exclusive"

TwinturboBMW07 · 03-02-2008, 06:04 PM

So if I buy a 135 in 2009 will I get this book

Nope, unless they have extra copies laying around.

atr_hugo · 03-02-2008, 06:07 PM

That's why there's eBay, so 2009 MY buyers can get a book too. ; -)

atr_hugo · 03-02-2008, 07:03 PM

I suspect that the book will be available for retail sale also once the '08 MY is up.

It was given out to the 120 North American attendants of the 1 Series US launch.

The 120 refers to this ultra limited pre-production run.

Yes - all 2008 model year 1 Series sold in the US will be delivered with this book.

I run BimmerFile. These are my photos and this is my book so yes, this was a BimmerFile exclusive since these are the first pics on the web. Hope that clears things up.
