Order is in...Now the wait begins.
So..I purchased a 135i from Sal at Park Ave at a great deal...great guy btw.
Unfortunately, there wasn't any Lemans in the tri-state area that came close to what I want and don't want. So I end up ordering one to spec. Problem is it'll be a May delivery. The wait is killing me and what makes things worst is tracking my car on Bmwusa's website is showing different car and spec. I know that's a common problem and when I get my car it'll have exactly what I ordered. So...now what do i do? I hate waiting. |

They do not run a scheduled English language tour at Leipzig, but they will do so upon request (and it costs €80). However, it is well worth it because you'd almost certainly be the only one on the tour, and they will tailor the tour to whatever you want to see. Based on the time the car spends on the line (~8 hours), and that I recall they run two shifts, I'd say schedule a tour for 12pm, and have your VIN ready for the tour guide right at the beginning of the tour. If you are to try this, keep us updated. I'd be interested to hear the result :-)

Not car related? That's tough...what's helping me pass time now is research for what I can do to the car.

Problem is Bmwusa website is not very accurate. Everything is wrong, color, options, etc... I would do that countdown, but I don't know what date to start with.

I had one of the longest waits from order to delivery...besides the guy that ordered his car in 2004 and took delivery in mid-march 2008. I browsed this site, got addicted to xbox360 live games, took up a couple of new hobbies...and then got teased with the Euro Delivery mailers and the once in a while trip to the dealer to confirm orders, pay for the car, more test drives, and meets. I am glad thats all over with and I have my car now. At least for you, you'll have the car on ground here in less than a month. I waited 6 mo to drive my car, then another month to get it back to the states. |
