Ordered a 2013 35i today!
Just a heads-up for those looking for a good deal in the midwest. BMW of Orland Park has the 'Ultimate Guarantee'. They'll match a competitor's price or they'll give you $200 on the spot. My CA (Guy) kept that promise. Shop around and check back with them before you sign. You'll be glad you did if you're in or around the area (I'm over 100 miles away).

I ordered on 3/30, production began on 4/4, and the 800# tells me 4/17 is the completion date. Anyone else experiencing faster than anticipated arrival times? I was supposed to have a week 17 build date, but no complaint here!
Also, I spoke to the Finance Mgr ahead of time to avoid any drama. Depending on your dealer, they may offer you: Tire and Wheel protection Simoniz Glasscoat (inside & out) Extended Vehicle Protection Roadblock (like 3M film) K40 radar/laser detection Maintenance Program Upgrade Tinted Windows Research ahead of time because all of them sound good...esp when they tell you what it'll do for you and how they more than pay for themselves. |

If a dealership truly believes they're the lowest in the market, then there's no need to have people present competitor's quotes to them. |

i don't like to play that game. on a car i bought a few years ago i had a guy give me a quote and then say "don't buy from someone else without checking back with me." someone else gave me a better quote and i took it. i want upfront dealing and their best quote when i ask for it. otherwise i walk.

JoeyO - I provided an email trail as proof of the quote. Some may require what you stated, but in this day/age, no dealer (in their right mind) would give you a purchase agreement w/o a deposit.
jk - the lowest quote was over 300 miles away. I preferred the closer 115 mile drive that matched. Plus, I had a trade-in which complicated matters. But, they matched the highest quote on that too which came from a different dealer. Yes, it is all a game in the end. However, you get to choose how you play. |

I called again today and was told 4/12 is the completion date (instead of 4/17)! I spoke to a rep and he couldn't tell me what that 'really' meant and to contact my SA. Awaiting the SA's reply. I wonder if I call tomorrow if it'll be in my garage?

It's ready!
I got the call from my SA today. I can pick up my 35i gray/blk with cold weather, sports pkg, Prem pkg, tech pkg & sat radio tomorrow. I take it in Thurs for the Venture shield & front tints.

+1 on the front tints, makes it look complete IMHO. Would encourage you to "step up" from Venture Shield to 3M's top of the line, or XPel's ultimate self healing film (had this installed on my 1M)...these films have a clear coat that help them blend more seamlessly with the factory paint job. Also more resistant to yellowing, although how you maintain the film is just as important.
