128i Ordered in the nick of time :D
Just got in my order today 7/13 and I was lucky for sure. My dealer was great and "traded" (not exactly sure how that worked)for an allocation from another dealership. Anyway I'm happy plus I'm going to Europe for a 2 week road trip when the car's made (through E.D.)
Even though I was in barely any position to cut the price, being just about the last order going to be made for the 09's, I was able to secure a sweet deal I owe to no less than 10 hours of car buying research through edmunds/beatthecarsalesman/1addicts So here are the details 128i Coupe MT Monaco Blue Lemon Boston Leather Sport Package Comfort Access Park Distance Control Xenon Headlights Paid: 31,000 MSRP: 33,215 I'm 19 but I still helped my parents(rather proved I more or less deserve it instead of having them 100% buy it for me) by giving my dad a $4000 check before pulling the trigger on it :] This baby's going to be my first new car and baby it I will! Glad to soon be a part of the 1 community! |

Congrats on the new car...you are very fortunate to have parents that are able to help you with the car payments...
You need to thank them daily and show your appreciation and make sure to take them for a spin

It wasnt an actual lake but the area was flooded enough to get water above the door sills...long story short she held the throttle open and the cold air intake sucked up A LOT of water into the engine...KABOM!

haha it's kind of the opposite situation for me, my mom lived in Europe for a long time and she knows how to drive stick, dad on the other hand has stalled and rearended people in Europe during vacation time. I told him i'd teach him stick in a parking lot first before we hit the real roads :].
The wait's going to be a little over 1 month for me, I'm not too worried though just living life as if I didn't get the car...so when it's here I'll have a nice "surprise" waiting for me |

I went on a mission trip to Mexico to put roofs on houses two days before my car arrived. That was a fun trip and thankfully the dealer was nice enough to hold it for me so that I got the whole experience of driving my car off of the lot.

Nice dude, I went to Camalu, Mexico for a mission trip and it was probably the one of most humbling and gut-wrenching experiences of my life. We made the houses, paved roads, but just couldn't help to think that life sucks there no matter what we do. Hopefully we can make bank and help in a bigger way later

Congrats man! you've got a hot car there
Had the same deal with my parents except I have to cough up for the petrol! But its so worth it Speaking about the mission trips, we have a similar thing called Ubombo. We go into the rural areas and build small houses for people that have lost their homes due to what ever circumstance or they live in a shack. Its a crazy experience and makes you feel very lucky. Anyway enjoy the car man im sure you'll love it! My dads to old to drive a stick but I promised my mom id teach her how to finally drive one in the near future! Its the least i can do for her after she was patient enough when I learnt to drive

I was actually thinking about that but how are the rims? I feel like they're too much for the 1 body and I dont think the high gloss black trim is allowed with the msport. The anthracite headliner would definitely go better with the interior. What do you like about the m?
