New owner in Mass
After months of agonizing about getting a 1-series, I finally did it! I was planning to order a 128i coupe for April delivery but once I saw the financing deal from BMW FW, I asked my dealer what cars are available in the area. They found a great match in NJ. I went for it last Saturday and the car arrived at the dealer today. I went to see it and it was gorgeous. They couldn't prep the car today so I am picking it up on Monday. Here are the specs:
2009 128i coupe Space gray Black leatherette Manual transmission Sport package Xenon healights Heated seats Gray poplar wood trip Sirius SAT radio I am very excited and can't wait till Monday. I even took a day off so I can get the earlier in the day. A couple of pics: |

I think the deal was pretty good. I actually got a better offer by about $500 from another dealer but Gallery gave me significantly more for my trade than anyone else. I was trading in a Mazda3 so it definitely helped that they have a Mazda dealer under common ownership right next door. I am glad the car has Sirius. I had XM in my previous car so I will have to get used to the different channel line-up but integration with factory head unit is great. |

Congrats on pulling the trigger! I have XM in my other car and my wife's so this is my first Sirius car. I still love the satellite radio with few commercials but I think I like the XM lineup a bit better so far. Maybe I just need to get used to it.

You can get both XM and Sirius... if your willing to pay for it. Congrats on the 1er! Awesome car! Can't wait for this white stuff outside to go away to bring out my 1 again

The white stuff makes it more fun. I love taking my 1 out when there is snow on the ground. I sort of like sliding around the corners, makes it exciting. It is as if I'm speeding ridiculously, but I can do it under the speed limit. Police, eat your hearts out, can't touch me...

The car his home and the wait is finally over. It drives great - very smooth with a great engine/exhaust soundtrack. The manual transmission gets some getting used to in order to drive smooth.
A couple of pics with winter tires/rims. I wonder how the car will be in the snow: |
