Bought a 11 135i in 2011. Right after that the 1M was launched and I put in a down payment the day after it released in the news. A year later and still no car as the dealership couldn't acquire one... And they were dragging feet on getting me my deposits so I'd order another BMW, they were wanting me to take an M3... Not a chance.
Fed up we started looking for a larger car for the wife. Mercedes, Volvo, Audi and the newly redesigned 3 series. She liked the Audi A5 and I tried to get her into the S5... No go. But afte test driving all brands she liked the Audi.
After chatting with the sales I was excited to hear the TTRS was comming over. So I talked the wife into letting me get it and her waiting on her car. This is how it came out 8 months later: picked it up in July...
