Finally put in an order!

[recognize]

hi all!
i'm new to this forum but i must say all of your posts finally convinced me on which model to go for. i had the toughest time deciding between a 330i or 330xi. if i went with the xi i would've sacrificed the look of the sport package that comes with the 330i and if i went with the 330i i would've been nervous when it snows. but glad to hear that many rwd owners on this board do fine in the snow with a good set of snow tires. so based on that i went with the following:

2004 330i
sport pkg
cold w pkg
black sapphire met
natural brown leather
moonroof
xenon
and for the wife....the auto tranny..i don't mind it, it still beats my old ford probe and the wife's civic.

i can't wait for delivery!!!

good choice friend and nice to have you on board. when does it come in? did they already give you a date? and did you eventually think about doing the european delivery?

btw, it sounds cool in your list that you actualy get a roof j/k

lol...yeah i get a roof. i thought about the euro deal but i thought i read somewhere that you have to schedule it like three months in advance, if true i can't wait that long. expected delivery is around mid december just in time for christmas...it'll be the best xmas present ever.

Nice choice. Christmas will be fun.

 

[Wadula]

make sure you wrap it in some nice christmas gift paper. just for the fun of it.

Good choices, congrats !!!
May I ask why you didn't go for the Premium Package?

i didn't feel that i need the bmw assist and all the other stuff i'm missing out on. it saved me a little bit on the price.

Welcome to the board. Hopefully you will survive the wait - it will be the LONGEST several months of your life.

I got 3 roofs with mine - one sky blue, one soft, one hard!

man...the wait is killing me. my car was supposed to arrive this week but my salesman said the stupid snow has delayed it almost a week. i'm still hoping it will arrive before christmas.

 

[codex57]

the wait will be worth it once it arrives. My friend has black saphire with nat brown interior too. Absolutely beautiful color combo. If your sales guy is nice and has it all washed and prepped when you arrive, you're just gonna sit down and cry when you see it and realize it's all yours.

I got the sport package on my 2004 330XI and it looks sweet!!! Also it's incredible in the snow!!!

[Dave8812]

Nice car. Too bad its auto. Kinda takes alot of fun out of it, well at least for me.

yeah i know the manual would've been more fun but the auto was a must for the wife so what can you do....main reason why i didn't get the perf pack on it...it would've been pointless with an auto...imho.
