My new baby is on it's way!

[Mick]

Pulled the trigger tonight, pick it up tomorrow. What did I get?

2003 330xi, Black with Sand leather, Premium package, cold weather package, brand new off the boat! Got a nice deal on it too (I think) at $38,500 with a $3500 rebate off sticker. Apparently they're clearing out the 2003's for the 2004's to come in. Now I just have to get through work tomorrow before I can pick it up, going to be a long day!

Thanks for everyone's help, in the end I felt better with the xi, and the 330 rox!

That is a very sweet ride. Wow the paint job is so fine, don't you just love the BMW painting process?

Do you have a slave to keep it clean?

Absolutely beautiful ride. Those are my favorite rims too. I thought those only came with the SP?

I'm in Michigan as well, and I imagine you will appreciate the AWD during the winter. Enjoy.

That's a BEAUTIFUL car you have Mick! Congrats and drive it well and break it in gently. Nice rims. Nice color exterior and interior combo, very classy.

Now go out and drive!

How's your delivery process going? My '04 325xi is heading for my dealer by the middle of next week, so it's getting real close. They called yesterday for me to come by and fill out some last minute paperwork. I imagine they will try and sell every possible add-on service, but I have a great ability to say "NO", so that shouldn't take very long.

Start your engines!

hey snow-
you're so lucky your wait is almost over. Im in the West coast and the ship will not get here until Oct.10. I'm expecting around 2 weeks after before I get to see it.Days are getting longer. Snow what are you planning to buy as dealer add-on's. I'm thinking of getting an alarm but don't know the cost. I've heard that if I buy and install it myself then I just have to pay for activation at the dealer. But I've heard stories about dealer charging a lot just for activation. If the cost difference is not a lot I'mplanning to have them do it all.

Post some pics when you get your car.

Argh, everyone's got a 330 but me. You lucky bastards! Sweet ride!

The only extras I plan on getting from my dealer will be her breasts in my steering wheel as I give the car an initial test drive. The exception might be a four-pack of those cute little BMW tire valve caps.

A buddy of mine is a photographer that does a lot of work with BMW North America, so I hope to grab a few hours with him to get some professional shots while she's fresh out of the box. You can bet I'll be posting pictures soon after delivery.

Good luck with your delivery.

Thanks guys, I so love this car. And i think the rims come on the 330xi standard, at least all the ones I looked at had them. I love them.

One bad note, at 549 miles last night I had my left rear tire blow after hitting something in the road. At 90 mph, it gave me a bit of a scare [fake] , but all is well. Except the $200 to replace the tire Dealer is going to detail the car for me this weekend, so it will look even better! The paint job is amazing.

As for handling in the snow? I may find out soon! Stupid Michigan weather, it's 29 degrees outside right now!
