Well I have bought my first car

ahaxton · 11-20-2006, 09:36 PM

Decided to go with BMW. Seems like the only luxury car that hasn't cheaped out. I even see brazil on all these mercedes stickers....

I absolutely love it. I got a 2007 328i, titanium silver.

Congrats on your new purchase. I wish I was privilaged to have something like this as my new car. Welcome to the forum.

ahaxton · 11-20-2006, 09:44 PM

Thanks! For not having any auto installment history, I think the deal went great and smooth. I was so happy when I got a very low interest rate with BMW finance and they even threw in the BMW credit card without me even asking for it.

Sales guy: "By the way BMW is giving you their credit card, it'll be arriving shortly!"

Ray · 11-20-2006, 09:49 PM

Glad to hear your transaction was smooth. I recall many horror stories within this forum. I hope the ownership of your car will be just a good.

The rewards of that credit card may come in handy with a future BMW purchase.

ahaxton · 11-20-2006, 09:52 PM

I hope everything stays smooth. I sure do love the factory warranty and the extended warranties.

I'll have to take a look at what is the credit card all about to see what I am getting.

KL2DC · 11-20-2006, 09:55 PM

congrats on the new car...what are the specs/options on her?

Thanks!
a whole bunch of warranties lol. GAP, Run Flat warranty/insurance, extended warranties. I think i'll go bigger and load up on options on the next one in a couple years.

I absolutely love it though. Rides very very very well.

mkeds · 11-20-2006, 10:02 PM

No ZSP?.. well nice car....BTW handles great..

BK · 11-20-2006, 10:08 PM

She's a beaut! Congrats.

Annette · 11-20-2006, 10:30 PM

Congratulations! And welcome to the forums!

ahaxton · 11-20-2006, 11:13 PM

Thanks!

Don't really care for the ZSP. Im a full time student. I drive an hour and a half to school. When I am not in class I live in the car in an urban area. Just didn't really think all the extra performance stuff was necessary. Since I eat lunch most of the time in the car, check schoolwork in the car I thought just having a very nice car for that would be great plus a great car for the actual long driving portion. Something thats very reliable and doesn't get old!

SP330 · 11-21-2006, 07:04 AM

Great choice and congrats. Stay as sharp as your car in school

BMW M5 · 11-21-2006, 07:08 AM

Congrats on your new sweety. Lots of safety miles.

ski360 · 11-21-2006, 08:03 AM

Like everyone has said congrats......You'll love it. I'm always looking for a reason to go for a drive somewhere, and it never gets old either.

Best part of my day is getting into my car to go to work and then getting back in it to go home...at least most of the time!

ENJOY!

Congrats on your new ride and your GPA. When I was in undergrad, I took the leatherfoot express. No car in college for me. I didn't have a "new" car until a year or two out of school and was working full time. Took me 12 years of working and just now got my firrst bimmer. Don't let your friends mess up your sweet ride
