Second time around isn't any easier

Nuge Design · 09-12-2010, 08:45 PM

I recently lost my mind and traded an 08 e92 JB in on an 11 e92 AW CP with CF roof.

I didn't think the second six to eight week wait was going to be as big of a deal as the first. I under estimated that trick. Man I MISS driving that car. Freakin' 4Runner just doesn't quite stick like what I'm used to driving.

It's a week 38 build. Can't wait until she boards a boat. Kinda cool to track it coming across the water...

Great forum. I've been hanging around since May of 08 and finally decided to join the club. Now all I have to do is get the correct amount of posts in so I can get rid of this header at the top of my page that says, "Hi, it seems you are new here. You will have to make some posts before you can use our PM system." What the heck is that? I got peoples to PM who have what I need to mod this mule...

Congrats on the new order. And yes, the wait is painful. My car finished production late last week and is in route to the port of exit.

mdosu · 09-13-2010, 10:26 AM

why the change? Wanted the new ZCP?

Nuge Design · 09-13-2010, 12:12 PM

Yes, that and I favor the current i-Drive/Nav over the 08. The combox sounds like that's gonna be kinda cool. 1.9% financing was nice. Not one problem from the 08. Great car. I'm a just a sucker for a new car. I keep saying this is the last one, but you know how it goes...

I have the same question regarding the PM system. Maybe I should repost this 30 times to get rid of it. ;-)

WCH · 09-14-2010, 09:26 AM

I did the same - the wait is killer but worth it.

Hang in there.

I think it took ten posts or so. Looks like yer close… spew some nonsense like the rest of us and you'll get there…

And yes, the wait is begining to more than bug me. It's been a little more than three weeks without a romp in an M3. Reading this site every day ain't cutting any more…

3 weeks is nothing. I've gone almost 2 months now since I sold my car. I have to endure the wait for about another month.

cipher5 · 09-20-2010, 06:56 PM

I just did the same

You're not crazy. Ok maybe a little.

Nuge Design · 09-20-2010, 07:33 PM

Anup, Not the first time I've been told that. Maybe the same goes for you?

I tried to respond to radiantm3 a couple of time and my iPhone wigged out, so If this post appears a couple of times, I apologize in advance...

True on the three weeks being nothing — especially since I know what's coming and I'm guessing you've only been able to dream about it. The other interruptus you get to endure is the recommended 1,200 miles of playing nice. You've got it right there in yer hands and you can't do a whole lot with it... you know?

If you got the 6MT, I will say be patient with the 1-2 shift. I've never seen a new car break-in/relax whatever like my 08 e92 did. It may be the fact that I got used to it, but I really think that shift point loosened up over time. If fact, I think the whole car kinda settles in after some miles are put on da clock. Either you or the car gets better with time. Prolly a combo.

Enjoy that first drive — and FWIW, just know it'll be kinda hard to wipe the grin off your face...

That reminds me of the huge, idiotic grin I had after the first time I test drove an E92. My girlfriend finally got annoyed 2 hours after we left the dealership and said that I probably don't even smile that much when I think about her.

I decided to plead the 5th on that one.... Then continued grinning.

thegeneral101 · 09-23-2010, 08:41 PM

lol this is exactly why when I purchased my M3 I called my dealer, located the exact car I wanted in the US and was driving it two days later. when I had to wait for my 335i for what seemed like two years, i couldn't handle that twice in a row lol......

as you can see from my sig, i never quite got over how long it took to get that 335.....having the M3 quicker was nice....but I agree its very rewarding to wait and finally get it!

Try not to think about it and it will blow by.
