New owner in Mass

After months of agonizing about getting a 1-series, I finally did it! I was planning to order a 128i coupe for April delivery but once I saw the financing deal from BMW FW, I asked my dealer what cars are available in the area. They found a great match in NJ. I went for it last Saturday and the car arrived at the dealer today. I went to see it and it was gorgeous. They couldn't prep the car today so I am picking it up on Monday. Here are the specs:

2009 128i coupe
Space gray
Black leatherette
Manual transmission
Sport package
Xenon healights
Heated seats
Gray poplar wood trip
Sirius SAT radio

I am very excited and can't wait till Monday. I even took a day off so I can get the earlier in the day.

A couple of pics:

Nice catch - BMW Gallery in Norwood. I had a pretty good buying experience there plus they are minutes from where I live.

I think the deal was pretty good. I actually got a better offer by about $500 from another dealer but Gallery gave me significantly more for my trade than anyone else. I was trading in a Mazda3 so it definitely helped that they have a Mazda dealer under common ownership right next door.

I am glad the car has Sirius. I had XM in my previous car so I will have to get used to the different channel line-up but integration with factory head unit is great.

Congrats on pulling the trigger!

I have XM in my other car and my wife's so this is my first Sirius car. I still love the satellite radio with few commercials but I think I like the XM lineup a bit better so far. Maybe I just need to get used to it.

The white stuff makes it more fun. I love taking my 1 out when there is snow on the ground. I sort of like sliding around the corners, makes it exciting. It is as if I'm speeding ridiculously, but I can do it under the speed limit. Police, eat your hearts out, can't touch me...

The car his home and the wait is finally over. It drives great - very smooth with a great engine/exhaust soundtrack. The manual transmission gets some getting used to in order to drive smooth.

A couple of pics with winter tires/rims. I wonder how the car will be in the snow:

Very nice! I'm sure that the car will handle very well with the snow tires.
