I've seen a couple locals around here that were buying early

What's the scoop on the waiting list with Kuni and Rasmussen BMW?

Saw a black 135i on Canyon Rd yesterday...tried to give the guy the thumbs up but he either pretended he didn't see me, or maybe he thought I was flipping him off of something. Looked pretty hot though!:biggrin:

It was probably someone out in our Demo, or it was a K*** car.

Brandon,

I've talked to both Kuni and Rasmussen. I drove the 128 Kuni had, and just looked at the 135 Rassmussen had. There is a gentleman in my building that just got a 135 (for temptations sake). Waiting for that conversation...

I've driven an A3 3.2, R32, IS250, and a base 328. The 128 was the best drive IMO. I'm considering doing the Euro delivery sometime this year on a 128 +sport. It will be painful to get rid of my Subie FXT, though...

...btw, nice to meet you guys.:smile:

HA! Why yes, as a matter of fact. What are the odds? I suppose pretty high considering there aren't very many 1's on the road, yet.

How do you like her? I bet A3 dude is jealous.

Thanks for the welcome, scs! :thumbup:

I have no idea how many we've delivered thus far (I've seen a few go out). I know everything on order is spoken for though.

We have 2 unsold 135's in stock though that were "extra" cars from BMW NA.

Hey Ty,

Thus far, Medford BMW has processed the ownership of but a single 1'er, mine, with a Sedona Brown 128i, a Cashmere Silver 128i vert plus a metallic black 135i, all languishing on the lot. What do I 'not get'? You have your finger on the pulse, the inside track, what say you? I thought 135's would be back-ordered til' doomsday.:iono:What's up?

It depends on your region largely.

I bet the black one they have is black/red/sport/auto and no heated seats?

Want to wager?

Haha, the A3 dude is pretty cool.

I'm pretty happy with her, but she can get a little unruly with too much throttle in the rain. .. Not something I had to deal with the GTI

Maybe I'll see you around. You drive the Forester turbo, right?

That's to be expected. Even my Forester will get a little sideways in the rain under moderate/heavy boost. I remember my MKV being a little unruly with the DSC on in the rain, too. Fuel/boost cut pulling into traffic was not very fun in Bay Cali traffic!

I do miss that GTI, and I think that's my immediate attraction to the 1. Different, but same. :smile:
