Few question about ordering....(might sound stupid lol)
Hi everyone, I'm new on the forum and my previous cars were bought from the dealer, so this will be the first time ordering a car with exactly what I want(got the X5 without the premium sound that I really wanted)...here's a few questions that I want to ask...they might sound stupid but, I'm a noob here,lol....
1. I'm a little conservative on buying a 1st year production model, so does anyone know when will M3 go into the 2nd production year, or have all the 1st year issues fixed? or, does the 1st year model have that much issues need to be fixed? 2. if I want to order a car with a production date around Nov or Dec 2008, when should I place the order? is it too early now? 3. what are something that I should be very careful about when dealing with the dealer? 4. Any good dealer recommendations in the Houston area? thanks guys.... hope these questions aren't too stupid...lol |

1. Order in August for a sept build for a 2009 model.
2. Place the order ASAP, never too early. 3. That you dont pay over MSRP which is 57,275 for coupe and 54,575 for sedan (destination included) 4. Dont know about Houston area, best bet is to try the regional forum. Good luck.

Good questions and good answers: I'll add that I bought a first year '97 Ford Expedition, which I still own 11 years later. Haven't had any first year teething problems at all. And like Greg, my dad has a first year 2001 E46 M3 with SMG and hasn't had any problems at all.
I beleive my M3 was built on the very first day of DCT production, I'm not even concerned.
