Hi. Haven't been on for a couple of years. Back in '02, I did my first ED and have decided to do it again this June. I've just ordered a 328ix w/ premium, sport, heated seats, HD Radio, IPod, PDC, Window Shades and the upgraded sound system. My price before state taxes is $40, 540----some $5K below the MSRP. I got the 0.9% financing and hope to write of the state tax, if that ever made it into the stimulus package. Questions: Do you have any recommendations for a Hotel near the airport (as we have a 7am departing flight0? Last time we went to Austria, Italy, and Switzerland so this time we thought we'd try doing a loop through NW France, Belgium, the Netherlands and then back down through Germany to Munich. We have two weeks. Any must see recommendations? Hi Shipo! As I recall, we did our 2002 ED about 2 weeks apart. ButmyWife |

Replying to: butmywife3 (Apr 23, 2009 7:34 pm) My suggestions: The Netherlands Cities Amsterdam & Haarlem, The Hague, Delf, Utrecht Natural places/Scenic Views Delta works (Zeeland province, former estuaries of Rhine, Meuse and other rivers). Impressive. launched in 1958 and largely completed in 2002. The official goal of the Delta project was to reduce the risk of flooding in the province of Zeeland to once per 10,000 years. (For the rest of the country, the protection-level is once per 4,000 years.) This was achieved by raising 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) of outer sea-dykes and 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles) of inner, canal, and river dikes to "delta" height, and by closing off the sea estuaries of the Zeeland province. New risk assessments occasionally show problems requiring additional Delta project dyke reinforcements. The Delta project is one of the largest construction efforts in human history and is considered by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the seven wonders of the modern world. Belgium Cities Brussels, Gant, Bruges NW of France Cities Rouen Natural places/Scenic Views Normandy Oceanic shore, and the south side of the Brittany peninsula, if you want to extend that way your touring in France, but… you could instead spend time in NE of France, in your way to Munich: Strasbourg, Colmar and the small wine village/towns in Alsace. A delight. Enjoy the tour!! Regards, Jose

Replying to: jlbl (Apr 24, 2009 11:51 pm) For my new ride I went with Tasman Green w/Saddle Brown interior. Has anyone seen the Tasman Green? I've only seen it when I built the car on the BMW site. Hope it is a good combo. Does anyone know if the '09 iPod adaptor supports any iTunes software version? Mine is a couple of years old because it is the only version which my retrofitted iPod adaptor in my '02 325er supports. I'm wondering if I need to download the latest version before I head to Deutchland? ButMyWife

Replying to: butmywife3 (Apr 27, 2009 7:49 pm) I know the Highland Green that they put on X3s last year was so dark that you had to see it in just the right light to know that it wasn't black.. Tasman isn't like that. |

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a 335i in the Chicago area through ED. Any recommendation on dealers? I've seen a few posts on Orland Park but wanted to see if there was another dealer that others have used as well. Also, where can I go to find 2009 335i Eurpoean pricing? Everything I've seen is for 2007 and 2008 models. Thanks! |
