Default Just ordered my new car!

But its not an Audi! I considered another A4 because they are so sweet, but wanted to try something different. Then I wanted an A3. Audi just did not want my repeat biz, and I could not find an A3 for anywhere near what made sense.I mean these prices were unbelievably marked up on A3's. Audi just does NOT want consumers leasing that car. (we're talking like $687 per month!!![:@]) The Audi dealership lost my business because they were so passive about an opportunity for repeat biz. And were giving me $hit offers. Anyways, with that being said, I did order a differnt car but still wish to be active on the forums!

Got a great deal on a new 328xi. Deep green metalic. Beige interior. Light wood trim. Automatic steptronic trans w/ sport paddle shifters. Sports package with upgraded 17" wheels and sport seats. Cold weather. Xenons. Will be here in 6-8 weeks. Can't wait!

Until then I will have the A4 until April 30th

Congrats on the new ride! I'd be interested in your comparison of the bimmer and the audi once you've put some miles on the new ride. Slap some pics up here when you get it.

Congrats on the new car!

Seems like the choice is always a car from Germany...

That certainly says something loud and clear.

Thanks guys. Yea, I will definately keep you posted. Test drove the G35x. Plenty of power, but just diddnt have the fit and finish of a German. After test driving the bimmer, I just couldnt resist. Amazing engine and transmission. Great connectivity between driver and road. The car is just amazing. After trying the A4, I wanted to try sometihng different. The choice waseasy for me!

Never drove a BMW but not a big BMW fan. Did you look at a Lexus? What are you paying?

Nice choice. My next car is going to be a 335i or Z4/M-roadster. I love the way BMWs feel.

Neither was I. Until I drove it. What a great car! Also tried the 335xi, G35X, A3 and S4.Did not look at Lex. IMO I would buy an Audi or Bim any day over a Lex. I am paying the same as I am for my Audi. $500/mon.

Thanks. Yea, I looked at the 335xi. What a car, but could not justify the higher cost at this point. The 328xi IMO is a drivers car. I feel like I can say that after test driving it only 4 times. It just feels right. Plus I wanted to switch it up to see what Bim had to offer. I will keep you guys posted!
