Congrats on the new 1 series coupe!  Space Grey is a very good color.  Flinter, another member here, has one (128i).  And I considered it for my next BMW.  Yes, it's common, but that's a great color nonetheless.

I have to say, that first BMW dealer is a sh*t dealer!  I would have been steaming mad.  The eventual buyer probably offered to pay more than the deal they negotiated with you.  Can't imagine they couldn't wait an extra day or two.  At any rate, good riddance!

Sorry about your 330ci being totaled.   :'(  Those 330ci were a beaut.

Wow, sorry to hear about the 330.  Glad your wife is ok!  Looking forward to the pics in show-n-shine!   :thumbup:

I didn't want to take any chances and wanted to avoid a repeat of my recent BMW experiences so I picked up the car ASAP, just 2 days after I decided to purchase.
  Just curious, Were you able to write a cheque for the new BMW or did you have to get financing?

Bit of a personal question, isn't it?

Yup, that's kinda personal.  But bmwcoupes did say he was paying cash for the 335i x-drive coupe loaded with Individual paint and trim, so I gotta think the 135i is less expensive....
