After taking delivery back in November, at the BMW Welt in Munich, we are finally being re-united on Monday at BMW's Performance Driving Center in Greer, SC.
Excited doesn't quite cut it.
T Minus 36 hours.

I went with the 328i. 0-60 in 5.4 is more than adequate for me ;) Plus the 50/50 weight is nice, given that the 335i is more front heavy.
That being said, the N54 I-6 is one of the most legendary engines of this generation.

The better choice IMO, I love the N20 motor and would be quite happy to DD an F30 328 6MT...the cool thing is I spec'd one out w/ everything I want and nothing I don't for under 44k...but I still has no monies. :(
But congrats to you, can't wait to read about more adventures with it!

Did you get to wring it out on the Autobahn?

i hit 130mph. It was on all seasons due to German law and I didnt want to push the car during its break in. That being said, an incredible experience.

Thanks! I don't think they sell the MSport package in a bad color. Estoril Blue was a tough call, but the obvious call.

Did you take that picture?? if so, MAD PROPS! Great color, positioning, backround. Neuschwanstein (sp?) is beautiful, but not as much as that BMW. I wonder, do they teach parking at the BMW performance driving center?

Ha, that's amazing, I picked up my 435i in November as well and it's likely being delivered week at my dealer in Denver. I appreciate your choice of color and trim. I don't have any decent photos handy, but if you look at my avatar...

Beautiful! My dad has been looking into nearly the exact same car, except in white, and was considering the Euro delivery. If you don't mind me asking, how much did Euro delivery affect to total you paid for the car?

I took that with my Nikon D40 DSLR camera. Was an incredible trip!

I wanted a 4 so badly, but at the time the order was placed, they wanted an extran 150 a month to go to the 428i.

You end up saving a ton. If you play your cards right and do your research, you can get up to 13-15% off sticker in the US if you do ED. Once you add in airfare and cost of trip, its about 8-9% discount off US MSRP. Still an incredible way to do it.

Yeah, I had to stretch a bit I make it happen. Removed all the unnecessary tech options and kept all the driving options. I was so close of saving some money and retaining some utility with the 3-er but I regretted nothing as I walked down the stairs at Welt.

Wow that is considerable savings, and a vacation in your personal vehicle thrown in as well! Thanks for the info, I will pass it on to him.
