I did Performance Center Delivery and I can tell you it really is the Ultimate Delivery Experience!!

There are several threads on here from people outlining their experiences with PCD and if you read through them, you'll find everybody said the same thing...it's incredible! If there is any way you can swing it, do it. All you have to do is get to Spartanburg and they do the rest. It's no additional cost to do it other than airfare to get there. Here's the write up that AndyM did...

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...enter+delivery

If it's something you decide you want to do, be sure to tell your salesperson right away so they can get you scheduled with the Performance Center. They book up pretty quick.

Katera...congrats on the car!! Thanks for posting the info about the clear bra, I was getting ready to pay a visit but I think I'll do a little more research!

congrats to new 1 owners

Hi Folks:

Katera and Alex, glad to hear you're happy with your cars. Can't wait to see the pix. I have several more weeks of waiting.

Katera, did you have the dealer handle the tint? I've heard about different kinds, metallic, ceramic, etc. What did you get? And how much difference does it make?

Best wishes to all
Patricia

No I had a private guy do the tint that came recommend. So far I am underwhelmed. Long story short he had to redo the pass side and back window yesterday. The car has been great, people putting stuff on it have been horrible.

Link to first set of pics...only top up as the tint was just done and I can't lower the windows for 24 hours...

p.s. I got Ceramic installed. I will say this...it works MUCH better at keeping the heat out. Much much better.

Houston....

I have ordered mine on 5/27/2008. He told me I will receive in 2 months.

Jet black
Red Boston leather
Black trim
(options everything except active and cold weather)
$1000 off MSRP ( free mats, tint, and gas)

Looking forward for mine. Can anyone tell me exactly when can I receive the car?

Thanks
Kart

Your pictures are lovely, and you did a great job on the detailing.

Would you care to comment on a couple of questions? 1) do you find that the tiny rear window hampers the extent of your view when the top is up; and 2) what is the max height of the leading edge of the top when opening/closing.

I'm not sure what the max height is but i would not want to open or close it in my garage. Maybe 7 feet? Total guess though. As for the reduced view the short answer is slightly yes, but not near as bad as other verts I have been in. The side views are great all the way back, but the rear window is still somewhat small.

I ordered mine 04/24/08 for BMW Houston North. My order has been passed from Kelly to Hannelori to Joey. They also order an automatic instead of the manual i wanted, thank god i went to the dealership a couple weeks ago to find out why my account keeps moving between CA's and why no one has any info on my car. Keith the manager was able to fix my order, got my CA sorted out and im schedule for production next week.

Why did the order pass through so many SA's?

I signed up for mine last week and will do the ED middle of July. Starting to think about whether I have the courage to take it to Spain (crime/distance?). Those beaches and my 17 year old son, well I gotta do it for the kid.

Kelly left, they gave the account to Hannelori. Then apparently they decided it was unfair giving all of kelly's accounts to Hannelori, so a few weeks later, they removed the accounts around and i ended up with Joey.

Anyways, now im 112 waiting on production.

Ahh, understandable. Hannelore is pretty awesome though, too bad you could not stay with her. She called me 2x a week for the last 3 months with updates

Thanks

Hey Steven and Katera thanks for answering.

To Steven: I ordered mine at BMW west. My Maverick includes pretty much everything except active steering and cold weather package. I got a discount of $1000 on MSRP + free ceramic tinting + free mats + free gas (only once :P).:smile:
Also where can I find the VIN #? Also do anyone of them know whether MY INFO works on 135i?

Thanks
