Cancelled the order, and they are mailing my check back to me.
Problem Solved, apparently they never even cashed the check and placed my order. I don't understand it, and it makes no sense why someone wouldn't want to sell a car. But for anyone living in NC and wondering, don't order a new car from Leith BMW in Raleigh. You'll be waiting forever to get your car if your experience is anything like mine. And thanks Dave for the help! |

Would it be possible to get an interrior that isn't leather or leatherette?
Like some of the things listed on this site. ie: fabric interior and other trim options? http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicle...isualizer.html I'm totally down for a unique one of a kind coupé. |

i see all these "horror" stories about people waiting for their cars. i was told at the dealership that the car would be 112 status immediately, so i traded in my vehicle (to get the max value). now i'm w/out a car (i only live 1/2 mile from work) and my production is 111 status. the salesman told me i'd be 112 by monday; if i'm not, how long should i wait before i start to panic?!

i'm planning on getting a house w/my girlfriend; how bad/good of an idea is it to trade in my vehicle and start a 36 month lease? i'm getting my 135i regardless, but want to know if i've just hurt myself in the house-buying!?

I ordered my 128 the last day of April (30th). The dealer told me '6-8 weeks'
It's now been 7 weeks and 2 days. I did get my production number about 2 weeks ago. However, it still says "Scheduled for production with no confirmed production date" according to BMWUSA's phone number (following the instructions from the ultimate delivery/tracking post). So my car isn't in production yet. From what I gather, it will be at least 4 weeks from production scheduling to delivery (I'm picking it up in SC). With my options, my 128i comes to a total of $34,500 MSRP. I'm leasing at $4K down + 383(inc tax) a month. 12K miles/yr, 24-month lease. 1) Did I get a good deal 2) Should I be able to get anything out of the dealer for giving me such bad service? And if so, whats reasonable to get? (keychain? tinting? some kind of idea on price) Thanks |

Wow, I didnt realize there were so many horror stories out there. I bought my car Memorial Day Weekend. They held back placing the order because I can't take the car befor Aug. 24 anyway. My car is already En Route.

well, I would probably ask that question to your bank. My thought would be that it probably is not beneficial to add more debt just before a home purchase

Some of you guys are cracking me up with what you deem as horror stories
A horror story is when you get the news your son/daughter has been killed in Iraq; your wife ran off with...another women; your best friend has cancer... Just chill a little and try to use a little logical thought Call

One more question. For a PDC Delivery, I'm ordering floor mats. The dealer sent the form down to SC to order them. My CA told me that I pay for them at the PDC. I talked to a few other people and they said pay for them at the dealer. Which one should I believe before I take delivery next week?

Thanks for all the info.
It seems no one at Freehold BMW knows about the policy. I am just worried about my wheels really, as people say with the low profile tires comes wheel damage. I have been real careful thus far and although have gone over some potholes (not real big ones), I have to think that these wheels can handle a hole in the road so long as I'm not travelling at a ridiculous speed. Now, if I were going 90 mph and hit the grand canyon, ok. But travelling 40 mph and going over a small-medium crack in the road, I'd have to think it could handle it. The guy there said the old insurance carrier would only replace a wheel if it wouldn't hold any air? sounds pretty severe. If they are only going to cover that, I might pass since I haven't done that yet (knock on wood) and if I do that kind of damage, perhaps the repair cost will serve as penance for my foolish driving habits. I'd also have to think that any star in the windshield that's in my line of vision, and consequently would cause the vehicle to fail inspection, would also need to get replaced. Nonetheless, are there any limits on the number of wheels/windshields that can be replaced? Quote:

Need help please
In May when I ordered my 135i, the CA gave me a price on my trade-in. Because it is an SUV, his amount was approximately 6K from the Blue Book.
On top of that, he advised they would have to reasses the vehicle once my 135i had arrived. I now have about 4 thousand more miles on my trade-in and my 135i is approximately 3 weeks out. I believe I can get at least what the dealership is going to give me if I sell it on my own..........I'm afraid they will try to give me less than initially valued in May and I can't take less. 1 Shouldn't the CA be able to give me an accurate number now ?? 2. Do you think the dealer would lose the sale if I refused to take less ? Thank you for your advice
