Working Hard to Play Hard! 1M SOCAL!!!

schatzi · 07-09-2011, 01:09 AM

After countless hours hitting the books, long nights in the library, annoying commutes to class that were cancelled, and landing a job that takes 50+ hours of time from me... it has all started to pay off.

I finally got myself a nice apartment with DrBobOh back in November, and after getting myself a nice 91 318iS to daily... it was time to step it up to the car of my dreams... and then some.

Originally, I wanted to do a Euro Delivery 135i and had everything all set to order around the end of July.

However.. a few weeks into April and I had begun tracking down the VIN to the first allocation of a 1M that a local dealer was going to receive.

Time passed.

Lots, and lots, and LOTS of nagging, follow ups, and an eventual email came through that read "The 1M is here"- I LEFT WORK IMMEDIATELY.

Long story short, no one took me seriously at the dealership when I showed up, after I was finally showed the car the first words out of my mouth were (to a service kid with a drill) "If you drill holes in that front bumper I won't buy the car".

I turned to the salesman who had been helping me with the track and said "I want this car, TODAY".

Apparently a broker was already lined up to purchase the car, but had nothing signed, no hands were shaken, and was essentially waiting to come in and get things rolling.

TOO BAD.

I arrived around 2PM and had the keys in my hand around 10:30PM.

Lets just say what they were asking was ridiculous, and thought the Pacific BMW 40k mark up was something that could actually work.

I will end that part of the conversation with: I paid what I thought the car was worth, and I am extremely-EXTREMELY happy with how everything turned out.

The rumble, the response, and everything that M has to offer in this car is absolutely fantastic. Did I mention the stereo is INCREDIBLE.

In the end, I can say it's extremely difficult to not look back at the car every time I walk away from it. I get giddy when I see it, and smile even harder when I unlock the car with the touch of a thumb.

Just picked myself up some key chains, hat, backpack, sunshade, and a few other goodies.

It was an epic experience getting this car, so no reason for me to apologize for the long write up! Haha. ENJOY.

Only comes with 1 cup holder where you can see her phone is. Also a 2ndary smallish cup holder under the center console but that isn't really that usable as a real cup colder.

mPlasticDesign · 07-09-2011, 10:30 AM

Congrats! But 6.5hrs at the dealership would never happen in my world.... Torture!

BTW, I will take this opportunity to also apologize for any future immature leg-humping you will have to endure now that you have revealed you are an attractive female member on this forum.

In Calif if she hadnt the car would have been scooped up quick. I have seen 4 cars get sold and all over MSRP (5-10K).

She wanted it, she could afford it, and she is fine with what she paid. Thats all that really counts.

I agree. If she can afford it there is nothing wrong with it in SoCal, but if she paid say ~40k over than that's a different story.

Unless you have some kind of vested interest in her finances why the heck do you care?

Did you just register here to troll?

what the bloody fuck do you care what she paid for her car..... And to top it off , if a hot girl came up to you one day and said " i want you today" .... Would you turn away and tell her she's doing it all wrong? Nutbar!
