Just checked the online tracking and it shows mine in production. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will hit everything perfect for an early delivery.

Congratulation. I had the same dilemna when wanting to find my one, I kept looking for months for the combo I wanted. Since there was nothing available that I wanted I had to custom order it. It's been two years now and I don't regret it even if it had a premium cost to it. Mine is a manual in deep sea blue with taupe leatherette, a kinda rare combo for the one.
Even to this day, I regularly check in their used inventory and I never find a car like mine or yours.

Nice to see you are 'keeping it in the family' and getting another bimmer. As a first time BMW owner, it gives me a warm fuzzy to hear that.
I lucked out when got my '12 last fall. I told my sales guy what I wanted, and he said, "You're not going to believe this, but...". Turns out the car I wanted (128i M Sport, LeMans Blue, 6MT, leatherette (have a dog), moonroof) was on a boat enroute to Canada, but not sold yet! I had to wait a whopping 2 weeks from order to drive home. |
