Plaz 05-28-2011 07:39 AM

Thanks everyone. Took a couple of tries at different stores to find an allocation.

"Deal?" :lol: No. But I'm not getting bent over like I see some people taking it.

At least not beyond the standard built-in reaming. No ZAR package, with BMW duct tape and BMW AstroGlide. :lol:

rumatt 05-28-2011 09:08 AM

Congrats.

Now, good luck on the 8 weeks.

That's not so bad, my father's new Grand Cherokee took 14 weeks.

Theo 05-28-2011 10:28 AM

Wow! Awesome and more congrats! Sounds loaded. Did you leave anything unchecked?

I'm not going to mention how long my parents waited for a Citation back in the day...and luckily canceled before it was delivered.

Jeff_DML 05-28-2011 11:58 AM

Mine got the Buick edition - I think they wished it had been cancelled :(

Erm, uh, not really. :eeps:

Yet it still has no UGDO, from what I read. :dunno:

My mom had the Olds version... She got it after she totaled her previous car, and it was priced right at the time. It was a couple months before I turned 16, so it was the car I was allowed to borrow on weekends.

It actually wasn't that bad of a car, and we really didn't have any issues with it. But it was boring...

She's chosen better since then and was the last slushbox she's had. Cars after it were a Saab 900 convertible (pre GM), a BMW Z3 1.9, an E46 325CiC, an E90 325i, a diesel Jetta (that she hated and dumped after 2 months), and now an E92 328i...

Can you swap in an E90 mirror with the UGDO in it?

Unlimited grip due often?

Unflattering grandiose dogma opine?

Universal gimp derrière orthodoxie?

What the heck does UGDO mean? :dunno:

Here's my article on waterproofing a BMW UGDO to work in my Atom.

Missed this one before. That's what I'm keeping the mini for. By the time I sell it, it will probably be basically new, with everything replaced. Maybe you'll want to buy that one. It's a great city beater.

kognito 06-09-2011 12:58 PM

Saw a silver one yesterday near Beaverton OR, yesterday.

You suck Plaz, 1M looks sharp in person

TD 06-09-2011 01:17 PM

I thought it was only available in black, white and orange.

Motherfucking cocksucking shitlicking douchenozzle scumbag piece of shit dealer is trying to take back my allocation.

They gave me a production number the day after I ordered. The car is already in fucking production, and associated with my bmwusa.com account. Friday, I notice online that the color and options are incorrect. Call them up, they say they'll look into it. After daily pestering, they try to tell me today that the "production schedule has shifted, and you'll get yours in September."

Bull fucking shit. They took the allocation away. I went down there tonight to talk to the manager about it, and he finally admitted the district manager "VP" (ooh!) wants my car, in orange, so they can bolt on BMW Performance parts and sell it off the floor at a huge markup. Fuck you! A deal's a deal!

I eventually got the manager to pretend to agree with my point of view on this, but he said he couldn't change the order without the district manager's go-ahead. So I have to take time away from work tomorrow morning to go down there and fucking pester his ass.

I have an e-paper trail of the dealer giving me the production number, and screenshots of the production number linked to my account, but little else other than a record of them taking my deposit. I don't think I'd have much legal recourse should they decide to continue to screw me, but it's probably enough that if I wanted to drop a few thou making their lives miserable with subpoenas I could do it.

Goddamn it. I wish I could just get my deposit back and go to another dealer, but the allocations are all fucking gone now. Assholes!

lemming 06-14-2011 09:47 PM

sorry, Plaz.
