There was a post a while back on here about BMW NA telling someone there were 3 forms of the 335i... 335i, 335xi and 335i xDrive.. basically everybody laughed in the and said that was wrong..

how I saw it was RWD 335i, AWD 335xi... this dealer is advertising for a 2009 BMW 335 i xDrive .. the badge on the car is for a 335i.. so is this as the post described? RWD just with traction control to all four wheels.. or did BMW change the model name after the LCI updates?

been lurking here for a pretty long time, thought I had my head around pretty much all basic E9X information like this but this I'm just confused. ]]> General E90 Sedan / E91 Wagon / E92 Coupe / E93 Cabrio bmwforme http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=693084 Window trim is peeling! http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=693083&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 03:50:20 GMT For some reason my 2011 M3's black window trim is peeling/chipped at the sharp edge along the top of my passenger side window trim.

I noticed it while wiping wax off my car. I thought it was wax residue at first. But when it wouldn't come off, I realized it wasn't wax and that it was the metal below the paint. Its a VERY thin line along the edge, but still! Ive only waxed my car by hand and I would be very shocked if waxing my cars window trim caused the paint to come off. And if it did; then window trim paint sucks!

I showed this to my SA today and he called me a few hours later telling me BMW wont cover that because its normal wear and tear. That sucks.

If so, what have you done/agreed to with your Dealer?

My understanding is that orders can't actually get put in until June when 2013 allocations become available. And, it's not clear to me whether dealers have the final wholesale cost for '13s - although, it seems pretty easy to figure out using Percentages of invoice to MSRP for base price and options.

Did you provide a deposit - if so, how much? I'm guessing $1k-$2k.

I think I'm very close, but honestly, none of the 4 dealers I'm emailing seem to have a real sense of urgency to take my deposit and "lock me in". ]]> F30 3 Series Ordering / Pricing / Order Tracking Forum (including European Delivery) Save Bluth http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=693082 JGMODS | Quick Interior Shot, Before the fest! http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=693081&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 03:44:13 GMT Did the final touches to the interior before bimmerfest this weekend.
