Are you getting a 35i? I thought the 35i is going to start production a month after the 28i, which may explain some of the delay of why you were told a March delivery.

If you don't mind me asking, what did the price look like? Haven't been around to see my guy and there seems to be no info on the website yet.

I placed my order a while back and on Saturday 10/30 my CA let me know that my request was assigned a production number with an estimated build week 48 for early Jan. delivery. I ordered a X35i

I did place an order last Monday. Actually, they change one of their order to meet my specification since I want the X3 before January. CA told me it'll deliver between middle or end of Dec. I almost buy Q5. hehe.

X28i Space Gray, Premium Package ( Leather Mojave & Fineline Wave Wood Trim ), Technology Package & Convenience Package.

Nice, I think the Mojave leather will be a good and unique choice. I hope to get mine soon as well as I placed a deposit in the middle of July for an early order at the dealer. I am not really sure how they allocate cars to certain dealers.

Base 35i is 46,900.
Premium + 4000.
Sport + 1800.
Metallic + 800.
Technology + 2200.
Executive + 2300.
Rear View Camera + 700.
I think leather was +800 but not sure.

There were other options but I didn't price them or don't remember the price.
There are also some limits on what you can combine with what.

We got the Base + Premium + Sport + Metallic (Sparkling Bronze).

If you want to know what is in a specific package, PM me.

Based on my understanding, dealers will get between 3-5 for "demo" model. They won't stock a lot at dealership. They prefer customers to order instead of taking from the lot. Many dealers are reluctant to sell their allocations. I've emailed about 5 dealerships and only 1 agreed to change one of their "already placed" order. Other dealers want me to place an customer allocation orders with the earliest delivery will be middle of January and can be as late as early March.

I want X3 before my wife goes back to work. Imagine 328i with a baby & 3 years old toddler ?

How do you feel about ordering without seeing the 2011 first?

I feel great about it..all the BMW's I've owned, I've ordered without seeing...I trust BMW, I trust the tons of pictures/reviews out there..

This car will be just fine.
