Well after a lot of research and a test drive I finally ordered my new BMW. This will be our first new car. I placed my order through Wurzburg, Germany since I am only stationed about an hour from there. We took the 335i out for about an hour, my wife and I had smiles on our face the entire time. This car is amazing, and worth every penny they are asking for it. So this is what we ordered:
2013 335i sedan
Estoril Blue II paint
Black Dakota Leather
19" wheels
Cold Weather Package
Driver Assistance Package
Parking Package
Premium Sound Package
Premium Package
Technology Package
M-sports Package (estimated price set at 3500.00)
8 speed automatic with paddle shifters
Speed limit info
Total Price 55.100,00
They said we should see delivery between August and September.

Congrats!

When do you rotate back to the states? You might have one of the first ones on the continent! Congrats on great build and a new baby to put a smile on your face. My first new BMW was a 96 M3 and I looked forward to driving it each and every time....

I won't be heading back there until the end of 2014 unless I stay longer. I have to admit I do love driving on the Autobahn. Unfortunately I won't be home to enjoy the new BMW. So my wife will have to do all the break in miles until I return. So far I haven't seen alot of 335s around here. Seen a few 328 tho.

Congrats . I'm wondering if that M-sport package price is for USA or Germany?

[meyer30]

The price is for US. It's an estimated price. He said most likely it would be lower, but I didn't want to short myself. I'd rather find out I saved a grand rather then get a call saying I would need a thousand more.

Nice. I love the estoroli blue

So you're not talking Euros but USD when you write 3500 for the m sport package?

I see you ordered a 2013 - I wonder if you can order a 2013 here in the US - I would think so but my sales guy last week said July.

[meyer30]

This price is in USD. The building of 2013 won't start until July. I just did all the paperwork and put down the money to hold a build spot. I want it to be ready before I come back.

Congrats on your new purchase! It sounds like you will be the first one in the U.S. with the M Sport package.

That might be true, but since all 2013's won't get built until July, there will be other orders in the pipeline as well. Most likely his order will get shipped along with other 2013 3's and Msports.
It'll interesting to see which number he gets, and who will actually get their Msport first.

I did a non line 335i build on bmwusa.com with the options I want, then I added $3500 for the Msport.
MSRP came to $50,195.
You can't order the sport auto on the base model, but the Msport comes with the sport auto from what I've read.

A 335i sport line with same options comes to an MSRP of $48,895. The difference is $1300, but the Msport comes with staggered tire size.
If the price difference is really only $1300-$1800 for my configuration, then I'll go with Msport for sure. Above that I don't think so, not for me.

I am having a hard time deciding between the 328i M Sport (with premium, Xenons, paddle shifters) and the 335i with sportline. Too many choices. I have to agree that the M Sport package will need to be priced appropriately before I order it.

meyer30, did you order yours thru pentagon car sales?
I did, but I don't have confirmed pricing or delivery date...

[meyer30]

Ordered thru BMW Military Sales Program. I do not have confirmed pricing or delivery date either. The price we did the paper work on was an estimate subject to change. And the delivery date of course depends on what actual slot I get when they start building in July. Hopefully one of the first. My price will be considerably less since the price of the "sport" line will fall off. The dealer also added in a possible 500.00 increase on the base price.

Wow, a $500 base price increase is rather high, especially for a 2013 model year that's only 5 months after the previous model year. I mean, the 2012 model year started in February of 2012. 2013 ordering starts in June 2012, and 2012's stop ordering at the end of May of June.
$500 base price increase seems like a lot.

Maybe I should just order a 2012 now since it will be an automatic $500 off, IF the increase is that high.

[meyer30]

500 is only an estimate. I told him I would rather be on the high side. So there won't be any suprise increase in the price when it does come out. If anything it will be less. He said most likely around 300.
