How many changes did you make after you placed your order? :)

rayusaFL · 05-10-2012, 08:20 PM

I hope I'm not the only one here but I have already made 2 changes to my order. (335i Alpine White with sport trim)
The first change was from BLACK leather to EVEREST GREY. (I'm getting the aluminum brush with black stripe)
Today I decided to add the technology package since I'm buying the car and not leasing it. (I would hate to regret it once the car is delivered)
Anyway, I hope this it and no further changes will be made.
So, how about you guys? What's your story?

I made 2 changes after order was place. Added Adaptive M and Sport steering

svache · 05-11-2012, 03:57 PM

I didn't make any, it was in production a lot faster than the current cars are going. But, I was (and still am) quite happy with the options and all =)

qiang.han · 05-17-2012, 01:58 PM

i took off the sport suspension(alot speed-bumps near my area, couldn't remember how many times my E90 chassis was scratched on it; thus, with the new F30, dont wanna lower the car even a 1mm). added HUD, change the seats to coral red....kkkkk

f30_Vincent · 05-17-2012, 05:32 PM

No changes for me.

Took me a long time to order my car, so by the time I placed the order I knew exactly what I wanted.

Now waiting for my end-of-the-month ED. No changes... Cant wait any longer!

gator15 · 05-18-2012, 09:08 AM

I changed my order a couple of times before my ED. I did place my order prior to the release of the F30, so after I test drove one, I made a few changes. I also had about a 3 month wait between order and delivery (my choice of course, since production was scheduled according to my chosen delivery date).

toph · 05-23-2012, 08:33 AM

I changed the config 200 times before I ordered, but once my order went in, it did not change. I guess I could technically still make a change since it is in 112 status and production hasn't started, but I'm confident I built the right car for me.

Are you glad that you added those items? I'm on the fence on that....

Placed an order last Friday....thought about switching alarm system for HK stereo over the weekend....CA tried to change on Monday but car went 150 on me so no luck...its all good though as the base stereo isn't too bad and I'd rather have my car sooner than later to start enjoying it!

shabadoo25 · 05-23-2012, 09:40 AM

Added Xenons.

You ordered yours on May 11th? I ordered mine on May 12th and it's still 112. :-/ Hopefully that means mine will start production SOON!

Edit -- Scratch that...I just called in and mine went to 150 too! Woohoo! Scheduled to be finished June 1st. SOOO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!

I did it because the sports mode with those options made the car more aggressive than without. Meaning suspension got nice and firm and handles better than standard. Steering ratio is short, especially at low speed it takes a little over a full turn for a lock.

I'm still debating this myself. I think I like the contrast between the aluminum and black better than with the Everest Grey. Very tough decision- if I was going piano black I would probably go with Everest Grey, though.

How did your decision to buy vs. lease impact your decision to get the tech package?

Wha'??? You ordered 6 days after me but started production 2 days before me?

How do you get notified of a VIN?

Arktctr · 05-24-2012, 09:07 AM

I have an awesome CA and he has been sending me screenshots as it progresses throught the production stages. On these screen shots, it showed the VIN shortly after going into the 150 status.

Believe it or not, I went back to the black interior. (My CA must think I'm crazy!)
Although the Everest Grey looks nice, I wasn't feeling it 100%.
About adding the technology package, I decided to add it because I plan to keep my car after I pay it off.
I had a G35 that I bought brand new and the car was in excellent condition when I sold it. Plus, it had low mileage too. (I always take great care of my cars)
This time I won't make the same "mistake". I will keep it for a few years after I pay it off. It will be nice to be payment free for a while.
