1er pick up April 28th!

Got a call from my SA and he has informed me that my 128i is on a train right now on it's way to Edmonton! and that I'll probably get to pick it up April 28th!
I've been waiting since February...

Car Spec:
-AW Base model 128i coupe
-Steptronic
- nothing else!!!!!

I had a choice of a 2008 Civic Si coupe or the 2008 BMW 128i coupe and the choice was very easy! tho it's a base model 128i.

Future Plans:

-18" replica CSL Wheels gunmetal
-Performance tires
-Euro Xenon Headlight swap. ( hopefully it will be availble soon )
-3M protection??? (full hood, fenders, side mirrors)
-Tint (not sure how dark...)

Now I have some questions:
-I have been quoted 500 for 3M... is it worth it?
-tinting... I read a thread on tinting affecting some electrical stuff
by letting water into the seal or something... with this in mind
should I get the tinting done at the dealership? so at least they
are held responsible for any problems? or should I just get it done
somewhere else?

I will definitely post pictures when I get the car and good luck to everyone else with their 1er that's either with them or on it's way!

Good idea getting the windows done by the dealer or somebody they deal with. I don't know an answer to that question. I could call Shaded Days near me, they do most new cars from Knauz BMW/Mercedes BZ. I think I might do that.

Its looks like u are in Edmonton, so go to Malcolm's Tinting in the west end. They do all the tinting and 3m for BMW's in the west end. I got a quote from them and it is much cheaper than what the dealership offers. No middle man and same guarantee.

BTW what ship was your car on and when did it arrive in halifax. Cheers!

Thanks guys!!!
I'm I really have no idea which ship mine was on... all I know is that I was in march build and that's it.
Also I have actually got a quote from malcom's tinting for 3M and tinting at 700... which I think is not bad... but I needed to confirm that BMWs were done there... and you did! thx

All the information i got was that it was waiting by the port of exit it should arrive at Halifax on April 10th... but it turned out that it arrived on the 6th instead. I guess i could have called my SA but I didn't.

Congrats on your purchase!

Re: the 3M protection, I would say it is worth it, just don't get it through the dealer!
When I got mine done I went straight to the guy who does it for the dealer for about 50% less. I paid about $825 for the following: hood (first 18"), front bumper, front fenders (the first part, 18"?, to match the same depth of the hood), side mirrors, front door handles (underneath), rockers and the top part of the rear bumper (at the entrance to the trunk..protects bumper from the loading of hockey bags and luggage). So far it has protected me very well from rocks, etc although chips are inevitable unless you 3M the whole car! I'm not sure I would get the whole hood done but that's just me. Having said that, I took a trip just after getting the 3M put on and sure enough a small chip about 2" above the end of the 3M so maybe it's worth it.
Hope this helps.

Are you buying or leasing? If you're leasing why even bother with 3m?

If buying then definitely worth doing 3m here in Edmonton. I regret not convincing my girlfriend to do it for her new Yaris... it already has a lot of rock chips and it's only 5 months old.

I paid 1995.00 Freight and PDI, not 2195.00....
In Edmonton, I am going to "Car Pretty" for the 3M treatment, they have the 135 template, 695.00. I am getting a bit of pinstriping too.

nice!

Malcolm kicks ass, but you may find a better price, who knows. Definitely get it.

The tinting problem with the electronics has been discussed in other threads, search if you want. But there is a CHANCE that you can screw up some things in the back if you use too much water and let it run into the seals... which wouldn't be doing their job also, so I wouldn't worry too much.
What dealer did you get the car from?
Freight/PDI is 1995 at Bavaria and 2195 at Edmonton BMW.

p.s. mine arrives at halifax on may 6th, so I have good reasons to believe that I can get it on May 28th.. or 31st, as they promised.

i got it at EDMONTON BMW.
When I first ordered they told me I would get it end of april and I did, so I'm assuming that dealership is pretty good with time.
