How did I end up with a 09/06 E90?

SimpleMan · 05-30-2007, 01:32 AM

I've had my car about two weeks. I just checked the build date and it's 09/06. Is it normal for a car to sit around for that long before it's sold? I'm just wondering why my car was sitting on the dealers lot for so long. Any reason I should be worried? The car looks and runs great.

Yeah that definitely sounds like it is sitting in the dealer for too long. Maybe it was a demo or a test car? How many miles was on the odometer when you took delivery?

Could be many of reasons...color combination...options...demo...many reasons.

Did you do a custom order or the dealer told you that they had one on their lot?

As long as it didn't have a lot of miles don't give it a second thought and just enjoy your wonderful automobile. The only people I've seen worrying about running changes are the 335 owners--since that engine was a fairly radical new step for BMW, there are changes like oil coolers and (hopefully soon) high-pressure fuel pumps that would make one be more focused on build date.

I got mine month and a half ago, and the build date is 10/06.

Maybe they were cars with bad fuel pumps which needed to be replaced before they could be sold?
