Just Ordered F30 328i
Status 112
Just got back from the dealer. Went there with the intentions of ordering 328i sportline mineral grey dakota red leather Premium Sound Manual Well, things went down a little different. lol First I wanted to test a E90 328i manual and get a feel for the clutch, see how the manual felt, reconfirm my decision to go with my first manual. Well, the dealer tells me the only manual e90 is at the other showroom. So i moved onto plan b. See if they have a Z4 28i, basically it has the same engine N20, sports transmission ZF8speed, it has variable suspension, and it weighs nearly the same. Turns out they have one and i take it for a drive. During the test drive i mostly focussed on the transmission to how responsive it was, how fast it shifted etc... GOD DAMN!!!! That transmission is no joke. I was shocked with how fast it upshift. Felt like i was in a formula 1 car. Easily twice as fast as the shits in my 335i ZF6 auto. I was so impressed with the sports auto, i decided to change from manual to auto. It was really hard and i am still not 100% sure if i will change my mind, but i was just really surprised. Now for the N20. Wow, tons of torque down low, i was in sport+ taking a trun onto the highway and just hit the throttle in 2nd, pinned me back in my seat. my current 328 is pretty wimpy to say the least from a 2nd gear pull in low rpm, but the N20 was very responsive and the power is there. Maybe because it was the little Z4, but the engine felt great. Cant imagine this thing with a tune. Didnt even notice the variable suspension in the z4, decided not to get it, not getting the 300 steering either. So then the dealer finds a 328manual, clutch was super smooth, butter smooth. But i was already hooked with feeling like lewis hamilton behind the wheel So, we sit down to order the car, gorgeous 335d, sport, space grey loaded, just sitting there. Cant even imagine the torque on that thing. Price is 57K...i tell the dealer to take 10K off, they dont so we move on to ordering lol...Decided on going with black dakota instead of red, cant go wrong with black. Then we started talking about 335 e90, but they had no 335 sport no nav to drive. Oh well. Get this shit, while ordering the car dealer tells me, in order to get the black leather seats i need to get the fold down seats for $475... Wtf is that? I bitched and he said he would "take care of it", but is anyone else encountering this bs? Guys who are getting cold package already get fold down seats. Ended up getting 328i Mineral Grey Black dakota sportline sport auto premium sounds folding seats came out to $42,220

Congrats on the order!
I don't know what the guy was talking about on the split seats required to get black leather. That is insane! I think he just wanted to sell that option for some reason. That's cool that you're at status 112 already! I'm still at 111 and will probably be for a while since I'm doing ED on March 1, so they have lots of time still to make mine. |

so they gave you no indication on where your lease payments would be? they didn't say between $550-650, or something like that?

10k/36...expecting the residual to be 61-64% MF right around 3-4% monthly payment around 475-525. Anyone remember what the residuals were when the e90 came out?
