Order Placed!!!!

SuitedUp · 03-15-2014, 07:18 PM

Pulled the trigger today!

I posted before about Sport line, but I ended up going with Msport body over a cooler interior.

228i Msport.
Alpine White
Black Sensatech/Aluminum/Gloss Black
Cold Weather Pkg
Lighting Pkg
Moonroof
Power Seats

I asked them about getting the Sport Line wheels put on instead of the M, and I'm not hopeful, but they said it depends on if they have any when the car comes. So fingers crossed.

No production number yet. They needed to trade for an allocation spot, but the manager seemed like she was trying to get it done today, but looks like I'll find out Monday. Gonna be a long couple months.

Exactly what I plan to order later this week except without power seats! Good taste!

Enjoy, I ordered mine from a dealer Mid Feburary and it's currently sitting at port in Germany waiting for a ship.

Production took a little under a month from order placed -> production finished.
Production Start to Finish took a week?

The hardest part is waiting.

Just called the 1-800 number. Vehicle is in production with est completion Date of March 25. I only ordered on the 8th. Wow, that's fast.

If it finishes on the same schedule, it'll leave Germany on the 1st, (No april fools there) and depending on where you live I'm going by a New York Port take about 15 days~ + another 6~7 for VPC + transport to SC.
Expect delivery April 23rd or so.

Also on topic: My Vehicle is

228i MSport
Melbourne Red (I actually liked the commercials sue me)
Cold Weather Package
Driver Assistance and Driver Assistance Plus
Technology Package
Lighting Package.
Power seats.

Sorry to thread jack op~

Ha, no problem, good a place as any. I like the Red too. Even if it's mostly because I just rarely see red out on the road anymore.

Mine just arrived on the west coast.

228i Sport
Alpine White
Technology Package
Rear Camera
Harman Kardon
Black Sensatec/Red highlights/Brushed Aluminum

SuitedUp · 03-21-2014, 03:50 PM

Just found out my production week.

14th week.

It said 2014/4/14 (Year/Month/Week)

So I think that's first week of April. Does that sound right? I just googled 14th week of 2014 and it gave me the week of March 31st.

Which would mean about 2 weeks between order date and production week.

Hope those cars get on a ship before Putin moves into Germany.
