What is going on at the launch tomorrow?

Anyone spoke to their dealers? I want to know if it's worth going to.

I guess that they will bring the cars to the sales floor, and that enough should be worth a visit... probably drinks and vittels to go with it.

ME WANT TEST DRIVE NOW

edmonton BMW had a sedona 135i on the floor today, with a list of $52,000. I spent a while studying it from top to bottom. They also had another 3 1ers in the back lot waiting for pdi. No test drives today though.

The real treat of the visit was when they started up the M3 in the show room and redlined it a couple of times. even the receptionist was grinning ear to ear.

I see... I wonder what Bavaria is up to... that is where I ordered my car anyways... I didn't like the service at Edmonton BMW...

but they're very close to work... I may stop by soon... with a "so this is the car I bought at the other dealership" face.

That is the exact thing I did today.

I ordered from Bavaria, but edmonton bmw is closer to work and home, so I stoped in on the off chance they had one. If you stop in check out the "extras" that they are trying to charge for. $1000 for tire protection, $300 for antitheft, etc. no thanks

called Edmonton BMW and they have 135i in the showroom
and a 128i in the lot... so we could probably take a look at both
I just have my fingers crossed that that 128i in the lot is,
accdientally early delivered, my 128i.

interesting... I hope it is your car!

I just called Bavaria.. she said the launch party is on April 29th!!!
She even put me on hold for a second to confirm the date!
I have a funny feeling that she meant March... and when she asked someone (presumably an SA), she asked about 'the 29th'.
Either way, she said they didn't have a 1 on the floor right now, that it was in the basement. I'm tired and it is far and my regular contacts aren't in right now. So so much for going

I'm gonna have to be a jerk and go to edmonton bmw on Monday.

Back to the date... who knows what she was on, but my SA and the Manager both said that as soon as the car is ready for test drives, they would call me and other customers who already ordered it for test drives. So I am patiently waiting.

I got a quote last week. just under $2000, which is $200 more then I pay now for a 2006 Yaris. My rate is high, because I only have 3 years insurance history, even though I have been driving for 12 years.

My dealership just moved to new, expanded quarters and is having a black-tie grand opening on Wednesday. This just may possibly coincide with the arrival of my 135i. Searchlights, red carpet, SGM!

My CA was complaining the other day: "I just had a fitting; they're making me wear a monkey suit." I know this is a car dealership, but I think he means a tuxedo, not a REAL monkey suit....

I'm pretty sure he's pulling your leg.. Everyone else will show up in casual attire and you'll look like a tool when you show up in a tux and everyone will goof on you..

"Formal" for me is a black T-shirt, fairly recently washed.
So I should be OK....

I took a 128i Cabrio for a 20 minute spin (by myself)..
The 230 HP is plenty quick..:headbang:
