Ordering vs dealer purchase

Hey guys,

The fact that I configured and ordered my X3 in the middle of February and now have to wait another 4 to 6 weeks for delivery has, in my opinion, really enhancing the car purchasing experience.

This forum has contributed greatly to that 'enhanced' experience as well. The wealth of knowledge and experience of the members here influenced the final configuration of my car and I have to thank you guys in that regard.

I've bought plenty of new cars in my time and those cars are usually sitting in my driveway in less than 3 or 4 days. But those purchase experiences can't compare to the anticipation I feel for the X3.

Anyway, I'm glad I have to wait for delivery...

Mom says...

As my mom always says, "anticipation is the best part!" (she said that specifically when we were remodeling out home...)

I loved the process...

You guys are crazy! Waiting sucks!

Just kidding...waited 10 weeks for my E90 from Munich! Waiting 4-5 weeks for the F25 (only ordered yesterday and the wait is already excruciating)! It definitely adds to the excitement of the car.

I remember waiting for my E90 every time I drive it. I love it each time. I never had an experience like that with a vehicle and most people do not understand it.

Best of luck!
