Thumbs up U.S. Launch Date for coupe: March 22, 2008

I have it on good word from a Client Advisor that this is the official release date for the coupe in the U.S. At least that's what they've been told.

On this date dealerships will release coupes to their owners :thumbup::thumbup:

ive heard that exact date as well but can't remember where.

my only question is whether or not that is the start of US production or when first orders should start arriving. as i understand it the consensus around here is that around this date the demo cars should be at the dealerships and first orders should be showing up...if i'm wrong please let me know! And if this is the case then spec-ing the car might take place sometime in january! ? when i placed my deposit my dealer said they were hoping to be able to let me spec out a car in january but who knows.

That's the date when cars will be released to their owners by dealerships, meaning that the cars will already have arrived at the dealers but kept locked up. Start of US production should by this logic be earlier than March 22.

That will be such a great day!

March 22nd is a Saturday. It means tho, that the coupe will very likely start showing up at the dealer a bit before then.
I would imagine the dealer will let those who've bought one a good long look and a drive just to keep everyone happy.

1ers will probably be at US Centers 1-2 weeks prior to launch. FYI, The E90s were at centers two weeks prior to launch (east coast).
