Ordered on Tuesday....just started production!!!!
I ordered my Black 28i just on Tuesday and I check the MyBMW page to find out today its started production!! Is this fast or what? I'm so pleased by the efficiency of the plant. I'm wondering how soon this means I'm going to get the car?

I'm stoked. This happened way faster that I was expecting. I'm sure it was because I was the last person on my dealers latest allocation and the fact I'm just within 2 states of the plant.
I'm concerned because I ordered it with the Panoramic Moonroof and it's not showing it on the page. |

I wouldn't be too concerned about the webpage not showing the panaoramic moonroof because I ordered all packages along with the upgraded stereo and heads-up display. When I checked the webpage it did not have the Dynamic Handling Package and I was going in to panic.
I called the 800# and they said the webpage often has errors during input. (They pointed out there've been cars with wrong color, etc.) I called my CA and said I'd be VERY UPSET if it wasn't configured correctly and he said not to worry. Admittedly, I was still paranoid until I actually saw it |

Had the same issue with the DHP (only). It never showed up on the webpage. I checked with the dealer 3 times who looked in their system and said all was good. Car showed up as ordered.

My thinking when buying a car is if I'm going to spend a lot of money...I'm going to get everything! I feel like I'm missing out if I skip something. (I then try to make a point of using the extra features.)
Anyways, there are good things and bad things about the HUD: The only constant display is a digital readout of your speed. (I wish the gear selection was displayed because I like to get in to certain gears for different freeway entrances.) Seeing a digital readout is a good reminder when driving in 25MPH school zones. The other display that shows up is the "Arrow Display" of the navigation system. That is awesome! I prefer the arrow display and it's very convenient/safe to see the directions directly in front of you. It's also cool because I can have the map display on the GPS Display screen while the arrow display is in the HUD. One bad thing about the HUD is you can not see the display with any polarized sunglasses. Which means I basically don't have HUD during the day because I'm always wearing sunglasses. Again, the cool thing about having the HUD is when showing the car to someone, I say "Check this out." I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about |

That worked for me up until the HUD and then somehow I got cold feet and skipped that one. For most of the other things enjoying the option is good enough to justify, but for this one I fell into the, "don't need that feature" category. Sounds like a pretty spiffy thing, though. I can imagine the wow factor would be significant!

I considered it but then got all sensible and thought it's a "want" not a "need". It is cool though . HUD is also incompatible with the grey band windscreen that I ordered

The "want" over ruled the "do i need it", i was like a kid in a toy store, only HUD, 19" alloys, tow bar and xline package are not on my order. Having thoughts about the HUD and 19's.

I would have liked the tinted windscreen. I thought it would be standard for not ordering the HUD but no dice - at least here in Canada. I'm not keen on aftermarket add-ons, for some reason.
