Feel free to call him a mother f-er after he hands you the keys. What a nonchalant e-mail. Can't wait to see it. We haven't seen a space gray IS on here since Randy got his 3.5 months ago. |

X3 is made here in the states, at the Spartanburg, SC plant.
Lots less shipping time from SC than from Germany. Last edited by Xaoc; 08-16-2013 at 09:30 PM.. Reason: spelling |

When I was 16 my dad taught me how to drive a MT and I've never owned an automatic since then.

Its a useful skill to have, good luck! You'll be really frustrated for a while but don't worry, the fun you'll have later is worth it.

Haha. I'm in a similar situation as you. Never drove manual car before and ordered 128i 6MT. Gonna be interesting the first week. Luckily, my room mate drives a manual so I roped him into driving the car from the dealer to a parking lot so I can practice in a flat parking lot.

Waiting on a 135i 6MT. Ordered August 9 (it was already in production), car has been at the port of exit since about August 14th. It either left today or will head out on August 27th (I hope!).

yes that thing about 2014s being called the 2-series is EXACTLY what i was told last month as well. I documented it in a post (in which i've added what you were told as well) and most people didn't believe it...but i think it's possible. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=868088 |
