I got a pretty silly deal on mine which made the decision that much easier. I got pretty aggressive and went as far as I could .

Just know that the 1-800 # is usually a better source of up to date information as it's usually a day or two ahead of the website. I think I was calling it 3-4 times a day hoping it'd tell me the scheduled production date, but never did. Just flipped from "your car is scheduled for production with no confirmed production date" one morning to "your car is in production with an estimated completion date of..."
Never a good sign when you have that 1-800 # and your production order # by heart and know how to skip all the prompts and get her to tell you the status within 10 seconds. And nobody with the rear parking sensors? |

EIDI - Nice! I can't wait to get the car..so I can start posting up pictures..I been dying to drive one and hear the BMW Performance.
Greg - I didn't get rear parking sensors..I thought it was kind of useless..since I never had any issues parking my car. I do wish they had back up rear camera like lexus though.. |

Not sure if this works, but I was searching for cameras too.

Ya, the BimmerTech rearview camera I've heard a lot of good things about and they're a solid company (who did my Sirius retrofit). Wish a rearview camera were standard or available and I got so used to having a camera and sensors on my last car, I stopped ever looking backwards when backing up, which was bad when I noticed myself doing that when I put a rental car in reverse. Force of habit! Granted, I've never backed into anything in all my years of driving, so don't think anything is necessary, but for $380, figured why not get something for piece of mind. If it prevents me from bumping 1 thing it pays for itself. On the darker colors you don't even really notice the circles either. More noticeable on lighter colors.
The camera is really best when in tight parking lots and you have an SUV next to you and can't see down the aisle. One day down the road I might get the bimmer-tech rearview camera as it's a really clean install, looks and acts completely OEM and very well designed. |

I wonder if you will all have separate ships. Probably, as they seem to be going to the far corners of the US.
We ended up with 6 various bimmerpost forum members' cars on our boat to suffer the long wait together, including 3 IS's, a 135, and even a 3-series member and an X1 to boot. So many lemanses, too of late! IEDEI - get that magazine article yet? |

Maybe we should start a thread for all of us with an IS currently on order so we can suffer together

That's true. I did get to enjoy it for 4 days. I think it's worse because I'm already paying for the car but I can't drive it! In fact, I'm paying for two cars right now :/
