Dropped by the dealer today to buy an extended warranty that takes me out to 7 years coverage. Im in LOVE with this car and cant see myself parting with it any sooner. You guys who were on the HH and are still waiting are in for such a treat!
As I began learning all the gadgets and settings, I began to realize just how complex this car is from an engineering perspective. So many things to break and malfunction. It's my first extended warranty purchase, ever, but it's also my first BMW and I already found myself chatting with my CA about bringing it in for warranty work. Doh! I noticed both headlamp lenses are fogged up pretty bad on the inside with condensation. Going to just sit tight until the 1200 mile service, then address it if it hasn't self corrected. |

Same here. I have always had a stick is my sport cars/sport coupes (my car) and auto in my family vehicles (wife's). The one time I deviated was selling my Porsche to purchase an Audi A4 with auto. After 9 months I sold it to get a manual trans BMW 3 series car because I missed the shifting action and feel so much.

This has become a ridiculous saga for me. My CA has ceased being of any help. In fact he told me to "calm down" in a rather snarky email, but that's another situation I'm dealing with. Genius has been pushing my ETA back every week once a boat comes in. It was the 6th. Last week they were telling me the 11th, which lined up with Orion. I had hopes for that since other 43's were on that boat, but when I called today they said ETA was now the 15th. When I called K-Line a couple weeks ago, the guy said my BOL was on Horizon Highway due 12/29, but kept saying that the BOL was for 100's of cars and not my VIN.
Desperate, I called K-Line back today and asked to speak to Lisa. I asked her if it's possible for a BOL to be on multiple ships. Being the angel she is, she takes my VIN and goes down the list. She first looks through Horizon Highway (what I was originally told) and doesn't find my car. She looks through 2 more and no car. At this point, I'm pretty nervous. Finally, she finds my VIN (MY VIN!) on Eurasian Highway due in Charleston 12/20. I'm not willing to throw caution completely to the wind, but knowing that SOMEBODY has traced my VIN to a boat has lifted a huge weight. Now I just have to sort out my issues with the CA... |

Zumbido, the good news is that if Lisa found it, it is where she says it is--at least so far she has been right every time! That dealer of yours needs an attitude adjustment in any event, in my view. |

Took delivery this evening. It's been 6 months since I got on the waiting list at #1. Crown BMW in Greensboro, NC. Great to work with. Brian Matthews was my guy. Kept me updated and, thanks to this forum, there were times I kept him updated. Right at 32 days from end of production to delivery and that includes the Hamburg Highway snafu. I hope that encourages those that are still waiting. The wait was worth it!

Hey fellow 43's. I FINALLY picked up my LBB yesterday. It was over a month late and even week 47's were delivering before mine, but it's all done now. I spent this morning removing all the plastic and doing an interior detail (bad weather for exterior) and this afternoon just playing around with iDrive settings. I only had a quick trip home from the dealer and took it easy in comfort mode, but I can tell something mean lurks beneath...

Believe me, if I thought impatience would get me the car quicker, I'd set new records for impatience.
But an out of town dealer doesn't care about repeat business, repair work, etc. So it's all about cajoling the dude and not pissing him off, which could at worst just delay things further. |

I'm just about to schedule my 1200 mile service. I've been putting the miles on fast in an attempt to get to that first service. I have yet to floor the gas or go above 5,000 RPM. Even so it's still a complete blast to drive. |
