Thanks in adv.

My salesmen emailed it to me.

I had to change the Taupe to Black Boston leather. Taupe is way too light.

ChrisK · 12-24-2007, 08:12 AM

Izzodesh I bet our cars get painted in the same batch!

e90_m3 · 12-26-2007, 05:58 PM

Shoot, how come I placed my order on 12/21 and my # is 390xxxx. My dealer said I am the #1 or #2 on the list. How can that be? Are the #s sequential?

the numbers are for all BMWs not just 135is

Brookside · 12-26-2007, 08:26 PM

Way to go Chris...great configuration.

ARES45 · 12-26-2007, 08:46 PM

Are the dealers assigned production numbers with their allocations, or does it only happen with priority 1 cars?

atr_hugo · 12-27-2007, 07:10 AM

Some of the dealership types will need to correct me if I've screwed this up but here goes. I believe that the dealer is told they have X production slots allocated to them per month. They either have customers who have requested one of those slots (and the customer has configured a car) or they will configure a car themselves to put on the dealership floor for one of those slots. (There is an employee whose job it is to order cars for the dealership's inventory - they have to be pretty good. There are some funny stories about guys that couldn't judge public taste for love nor money that ordered some pretty peculiar configurations ; -).

But the allocation doesn't generate a number until a production order is placed, either using the customer's configuration or the configuration the dealership has created for one of their floor models.

Dave · 12-27-2007, 07:13 AM

We fed will be in the paint batch! But mine will her first cuz your in chi town! heh

NOLEimit · 12-27-2007, 07:42 AM

I just got my number as well. 389xxxx. Alpine White with Coral. I just logged onto the Owners Circle and it says my production number is for a Titanium Silver 128i. should I be concerned? I know that I read the Owners Circle could be off for a while compared to my actual order. Please Adivse.

My car may be delayed another month if I decide to wait for the Savanna Beige Leather.

GatoGrande · 12-27-2007, 07:50 AM

Chris - congratulations! I just ordered mine from the same SA. This is my first ever post to any BMW forum, as you might guess I am excited about my new Bimmer. Mine is ordered with the Sparkling Graphite and Terracotta Boston Interior... I am Production # 3894448

Welcome GatoGrande, and congrats to you. My e90 is SG/Terra, and I love the combo. Btw, don't google terracotta leather for a representation, since that's not the color you're getting. The color swatch hue on the brochure is correct, shows terra's true color, and LWB8 is the leather code for terra leather.

I went with Alpine White (like chriskurn and izzodesh0), but went with terra too. :smile:

Yes, I have been dealing with Chris for many years now. I think he is great. I hope the color combination I ordered looks great!

Excellent!

I have also worked with Chris for years! He is the best salesmen I have had.

What other options did you choose?

Yeah... my brother just got his E90 in Monaco Blue/Terra - and that looks great also! Glad to hear you like the Graphite/Terra combo - I would love to see it in a real picture - the ones on the BMWUSA site just don't seem realistic enough...

ChrisK · 12-27-2007, 08:35 AM

Don't worry, you can't go wrong with Graphite. I almost went with Blue/Black, but I have had two blue Bimmers and always wanted a white car
