My Ride: 2011 M3 Convertible, Alpine White/black, 6 speed 2011 535xi Tasmin Green, Venetian Beige
Default

Okay I finally did it. Bit the bullet and ordered my '08 550i this morning:
Platinum Gray Metallic (yeah, I know, another gray BMW)
Natural Brown Dakota Leather
Bamboo trim
Anthracite headliner
Cold Weather
Sport Package
Sport Automatic (first non manual in 10 years)
Sunshades
Logic 7
Satellite Radio
Ipod
Heads Up
Navigation
Fold down rear seats

With $7700 down as MSD (refundable at lease end) plus first month, fees and nothing down I came in at $1033.69/month for 2 years, 15K/yr.

Upon returning home I then ordered my painted ACS rear trunk spoiler and dustless brake pads from Zeckhausen Racing. Have to be prepared If I can figure out how to track it, that would be nice too. Can anyone help me out?? How long after the car is ordered can I check status??

Thanks,
Jeff

Sounds great. No need to apologize for the color. Haven't you heard that we of the silver/gray brigade are now considered exclusive compared to white?

congrats on the order...here's another thread that might help in tracking...think it takes 3-5 days for the order to get into the system, 800# is always better and more accurate than oc

Hey, the same colour combo as I have! Nice.


Amazing how low the lease fees are in the States - I pay almost the same for my 530i...
