P.D.I Pre-delivery-inspection..

they programe the cars electronics and take out the "blocks" from the springs etc etc.. the cars are shipped in whats called "transport mode" and next to nothing works on them like heated seats or a/c or even comfort access.. the keys wont be programed either.. lots of stuff really..

NJKSC27 · 03-07-2008, 01:05 PM

and dont forget the tech romping on it to the gas station!

Fast Kiwi · 03-07-2008, 01:07 PM

thanks for responding with that info.. i was starting to wonder why it will take my dealer a couple days or more to prep my 1

My Dad ordered a sedan at the same time as I ordered my 1, I cannot wait until he gets it.

I was hoping it was the dual clutch version. Thats the one my Dad ordered and I was hoping to get your impressions a few months before he gets the car. August is a long way away, at least I get my 135 between now and then.

bimmertech · 03-07-2008, 06:19 PM

we just got a black sedan m3. stickered just below 70k. just a couple of things i noticed; the mirrors are very odd, it looks like it's connected at the top but it isn't. also the sunroof was a 1050 option.

My thoughts with out driving it.. IT WILL BE AWSOME!!!!!

The concept of the dual tranny just blows my mind.. We will be taking ours to Road America at some point.. May not be till later in the year tho..
