Received it in 7 weeks. If we get another one I will have it ordered to my specs and do the European Delivery. You pick it up at the factory, drive it around for a week or so and get it to Hamburg I do believe and put it on a transport. That's a big if though because even though it is a 2009 it's a great car and we can't see parting ways right now.
European Delivery would be so much fun.... until I destroyed the car on the Autobahn.

It is amusing that you can drive on your US license for 6 months in Germany.... do they know how terrible we are at driving?!

That's badass. I had no idea that BMW gives you the option of picking up your car at the factory in Germany.

Several do... Audi, MB, Porche, Volvo. I think Porche is the only one that charges extra for it. BMW marks down their cars by $2-3k (which is basically what you'd get at a dealership) and I think they give you a free night at a nice hotel and a tour of their museum.

I have a m235i on order. Pretty much in the same boat as BRC... 9 year old Monte Carlo SS with ~99,000 miles and nothing immediately wrong with it, but starting to show its age.

Went with the Estoril Blue, after driving a black car for so long. I really like their Valencia Orange, but it's only available on the 228.

not sure If I told you but I have the similar chassis '08 135i in a champage ish - or maybe golden silver combined (it's a unique paint color) - black wheels - tinted, twin turbo. It's super fun little whip - I'll probably get it tuned and create an animal.

I wouldn't do a thing to it bud - maybe tint the side windows if they're not tinted. That's all i'd do though.

Wonder if they'll have it w/ Michelin Super sports? Also - when is it scheduled to arrive to you and how do you arrange pick up - does a dealer just call you and then you go get it - or what? How does that work?

Nice, I test drove a few small coupes and they're fun to drive, and it'll probably get better gas mileage than my current 305hp V8. Chevy has a ~450hp SS coupe that I considered, but there just wasn't any question after driving the 235.
