Tried to order, but was denied
Tried to order a 135i in Crimson Red, with Black Boston Leather and Glacier Silver trim with:
Value Pkg. M Sport Harmon Kardon Satellite Radio Alarm System They said the system showed some sort of "com box control" error - whatever that is. I'm also looking to have the BMW Performance Suspension installed at delivery. |

I should probably mention that they said they thought they could figure it out Monday when the BMWNA peeps are back at work. Then again, maybe it's a sign I should wait for the 1M.

That combox option refers to the new interface between iDrive/Bluetooth/iPod and iPhone that is going to be installed in the 1ers starting in Sept. 2010. I had placed my order with my dealer a couple of weeks ago, and at the time all they had was September build dates available, so the Vehicle Inquiry Report showed combox on the options sheet. Well, I needed a July production because my lease is up in September, so they were able to trade for a July production slot, and now my VIR doesn't show the combox option. I'm not sure why it was denying the order, as the combox is simply a new feature being installed in 1ers starting in September.

I thought about it, but 1 year wait plus the difference in negotiated price makes the gap in price pretty wide (I'm expecting about a $10k difference in base sticker & a $12K-$15K difference in negotiated price). I don't know if I'd be able to justify it, especially since the 135i has all the power I'd need. I must be getting old if I just said that

If you mean 2TC (7 spd auto), then, no. I have a vehicle for work, so this is mine for my enjoyment and I want the visceral feel of the manual. I'm not going to have to slog through daily rush hour traffic with it, so there's no advantage to the auto.

OK - I got it ordered & TN_3 was absolutely right about why there was an error. Apparently the trouble was that they were putting it in as a September order, which makes no sense since I am taking an epic inaugural road trip at delivery (from the west back to Jacksonville) and the September 26 delivery date was stressed to them as highly important and why. They now have me in a July spot. Deposit paid . . . let the waiting begin.
