Just thought I'd float this out there---anything I should be sure to review with the CA, anything I should be sure isn't missed, etc.?

Can't wait to get it! I haven't had a MT Daily Driver since 03 when I sold my 996 C2 and I am ITCHING to be using my left foot again!!!

PS- the 335xi has MORE HP than the 99 996!

just make sue u know how to use the equipment, make sure you drive and hear for any noises/rattles, make sure it's not scratched/dinged and doesnt have swirls

other than that you're set man, congratulations!!!!

i am happy for you, really. im ditching my 07 e92 coz i cant imagine myelf driving auto no more. good choice man.

but when you're out of there, get yourself a short throw kit, or a nice shifter, coz the throw on that thing is ridiculously long

Yes, first of all, congrats!! And it's a nice day to pickup...I did last Dec. and it was 47 degrees F.

Let the CA tell you about every feature, I think it takes 30-40 min.? Have your significant other take pics, well, it was fun for me since it was my first BMW. I look back and wish I could recreate the excitement (my next BMW wont be the same, even if a M3/5/6). My CA was female, and we have a pic where she has her arm around me and making an AOK sign....friends said are you dating your saleswoman??

Take this advice from a fool, I took the protection package for $499 when they first asked for $799 (dings/scratches/interior) and the tire protection for $390. Tell the finance manager NO. If he wants to play a game, and asks you how much you're willing to pay, say $99 for each. Either he'll give it to you, or shut up for good!

Check your tire pressures, mine were low, 29/25 (consistent), not sure why. Some say not needed, but I would vary the rpms for the first 1200 mi. and don't exceed what 4500 rpm and 80-90 mph just like the manual says.

Inhale as much as you can and enjoy the new car smell, it lasted about 7 mos. in my car....good luck!

I have already checked it out 3x and driven it 2x. No issues. ALSO- no finance office to deal with. Working straight with the CA. All paperwork is done, no one even asked me if I wanted any 'protection'.

I agree. I drove my car for a while before I checked the tire pressure. When I did check it, it was about 24 front/29 back. I got suspicious because I started getting squirrelly handling.

Also, please check for scratches and dings. I drove my car off the lot and noticed a deep scratch the next day on the top. At that point, it's really too late.

Basically, what mantis said.

ENJOY the car! Get out there and drive it!!
