No longer an envious lurker

I ordered last week and figured I'd post my build. Pics to be added later:

2013 328 xdrive Sport Line
Black Sapphire Metallic
Black Leatherette/Red Highlight/ Black high gloss
Lighting package
Anti-theft
Moonroof
Heated front seats
Navigation system (no tech package)

I figured the leatherette was decent enough quality to compromise on in order to add other options. I expect delivery by the end of Dec /early Jan. This is my 1st long awaited BMW.

Lots of reasons to be excited! You'll love it.

Congrats and best of luck!

Congratulations!

Please be aware that the sport line x drive does not come with a sport suspension. So if you want to be able to change from a soft or stiff suspension you must order the dynamic handling package.

Have your dealer change the order if you want this.

A 3 series isn't really much of a compromise IMO, great car

When I was six my mom had a 91 535i, the new F30 is nearly the same size as that 5 series I remembered as a kid. She also had a manual... Not many women drove to Nordstroms in a manual BMW
