I quit the boy racer thing a while ago.

Yeah, no Sports Package or anything. I guess there's no accounting for
taste. After adding the steptronic, leather/heated/power seats and a few
more goodies they priced out within a few K too so that wasn't the reason
(although a few thousand here - a few thousand there...) If I decided on
the 330 I would definitely have had the manual transmission. This way the
wife can drive it too.

Really... an automatic and you are worried about being balanced?

Bad idea, buying a car to suit the wife's occasional use. Better to teach
the wife to drive a standard. Or trade her for one that can... ;-)

Definitely drive both. I got a 325i with premium package, adaptive

Well, I thought about taking Euro delivery. Could you tell me any URLs
so I can get more detailed info?

Thanks a lot!

Basically I got the info from
http://www.bmwusa.com/bmwexperience/...ry/default.htm

But, how long do I have to wait to get the car in Munich after I placed
my order in US?
Thanks!

It depends on how back-ordered they are, and whether they have an unspoken-for
car in the pipeline that can be fitted with your options. When you place the
order with your local dealer, the next day you get a reserved car, by serial
number -- it would be the same car wherever you were taking delivery. The next
day after you order it, specifying when you want to pick it up (typically 4-6
weeks), he should give you a URL and logon info so you can monitor its build
status on the Web.

We picked our last one up in Munich five weeks to the day after placing the
order. It was actually ready and waiting two weeks before our arrival.

It's a great experience.
