Just got 'er

[alikhan1]

after a marathon 6-7 hrs i finally picked up the exact car that I wanted. Dark Slate 3.5 w/ CVT and Premium Package, floor mats and VDC. He came up with $31K but settled for $26.8K. Monthly lease at 343 for 15K miles

Gotta say tho after driving BMWs for the past 9 months I think the ride is a lil softer sprung. but what the hey it's atleast $10K cheaper

[jdshift]

Congrats!! Welcome!! Enjoy!!

Oh lord do I hear ya about the ride! I had a 645 3 years ago, got rid of it and bought an SRT8 Jeep and my 05 Altima. As much as I would love an AC or G37, I am half considering a 5 Series or M5.

I'm sure if I trade in my Altima though, it would be for a Nissan or Infiniti. I'll get the BMW with the Jeep trade in

645??

Yeah, I was looking at getting the BMW 3 series... but pound for pound, a fully loaded A/C blows the 328 out of the water... and the 335 is nice, but to get the exact specs as the A/C, it would have been about 10-12K more

Also, your got the exact same options I got (3.5, CVT, VDC, prem. pack.), but for 26.8K... that's outstanding! A year ago, you could NOT get them below invoice (31K).. but with the 2009's coming out and the horribe gas prices... they are definately dealing A/C's now.... good find and great deal and WELCOME 2 NICO!

ya guys, I just sold my 330i for this car. The a/c beats it on absolutely every aspect, except handling.

Lease for 343 My lease is DOUBLE yours for 12k miles. I got robbed lol

OMG ADIDAS -DOUBLE? Ay yiy yiy

I finance, and I pay $414.82 (mind you, I bought the car on my 18th birthday so I got screwed with an interest rate). I thought I was screwed over!

And if I bought another BMW, it would be an M. My step dad is thinking of getting a M5 . . . or a GT-R. Naturally, I told him to get the GT-R, but he doesn't know that dealerships are tacking on an extra few 10 thousand bucks because of the high interest and demand for them. I read in Nissan Sport Mag that some dealerships are tacking on up to $60,000 because they are in demand - yikes. That alone might suade me to get the M5.

Strangely, I've taken a liking lately to the WRX Sti. They are butt ugly in the interior, but something about them sparks my interest.

LOL butt ugly inside and out, if I would fork over cash for an STi I would rather spend the money on the EVO X instead.

Yea I pay 636 a month. I guess its kinda the same though, because I end up paying 23k worth of the car, and I can buy it out for 8 grand at the end of my lease. It was hard to get into one of these things back in October.

He He He .... I paid cash for mine. No payments here, and plan on keeping it till the wheels fall off.....

BTW - Gratz on the car Ali. And, all the talk about the BMW's on this thread ... ignore it. They all love their A/C's, they're just too manly to cry about it .... LOL.

i gotta say I'm lovin this car more and more. value for money its just amazing . I wish some of the tactile surfaces were a little firmer but I LOVE the Xenon's; the leather; the dual zone and bluetooth for $27K. That's f'ing amzing

also getting a ton of 2nd glances from the ladies (but that might be because I still have the white stickey stuff on the car )

FOR GOD'S SAKE - WHY? LOL

Yeah, ladies look at my car all the time too - thank god I'm gay and don't have to react

[alikhan1]

heheh well I'm shipping her to cali by truck in a couple of weeks so I thought I'd keep the wrap on her until She arrives spot free. might even keep it on afterwards, if only for the " is wrong with that guy?" factor

[EOrdonez3229]

people are like "look at that fool test drivin that AC, thinkin he's all cool and shyt" lol

[alikhan1]
