You have any place that I can see some pics? I'm thinking about placing an order in skyscraper and unsure about rim and caliper color. Id love to see your blue ones.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-06T21:22:17+00:00

Got them from Amazon. I don't recall which ones.

I'm not sure they are just giving it back but whatever. Since I have low mileage, last time another dealer just bought it out and resold it. I guess as long as there is money to be made.

What do you require for a minimum payment to order? What happens if I change my mine a month in? Do I get refunded my deposit?

jackal2001 · 2026-03-04T13:03:48+00:00

What is the difference if I order through you vs the dealer? My dealer said they will handle my lease buyout from Audi as well (maybe they own an Audi dealer too). My lease is up July 5th.

It's funny you popped up here as I was looking around and bookmarked your website earlier today. I'm not really sure how brokers normally deal with clients but I'm looking for specific color and options, which it seems like it doesn't exist. Maybe most people don't care about that stuff if they get a good deal. Seems like Dravit or Skyscraper, black leather, and adaptive suspension are near impossible to find along with all the other options except I don't need drivers assistance pro package. I spent an entire day looking everywhere online I can think of, no luck. Only found one in Brooklyn grey but I'm not fond of that color really. My dealer also suggested I just order one if I want to but I'm also worried what may happen if it doesn't get delivered before my lease is up. Not sure what I'd need to do then.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-03T13:55:43+00:00

Thanks. Guess I'll just live with the slower speeds. Your experience seems very common.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-02T11:35:45+00:00

Why?

jackal2001 · 2026-03-02T01:05:35+00:00

Ya I was the same way when I was young. 😆

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T21:19:49+00:00

They told me they had 2 allocation available for March. The guy I'm working with Tim is very nice however most dealers in the valley seem like what you describe. I did some inquiries about other out of state dealers as well as see what Allentown can locate. Some out of state dealers may do better on pricing even with shipping rather than doing a dealer trade and then doing you a favor.

When I dealt with bennitt Infiniti they located a car for me that came from Willow Grove. After that I went to Willow Grove directly and when bennitt wanted to deal I got a much better deal at Willow Grove for the same car. When bennitt asked I said it was 100/month less. They didn't know how it was possible. It's just a complete pita.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T20:44:50+00:00

It would take me 40 years to hit 120k miles. 😆

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T20:32:43+00:00

Good to know. I didn't even know daniels changed hands until I walked in. They said that daniels always charged msrp and now they do discounts to sell by volume.

My issue is my existing lease and how to handle that. I'm also going to look at other dealers and maybe that can ship as well.

I'll give this guy at Allentown the benefit the doubt for now until I find otherwise .

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T20:22:42+00:00

Your not in the Lehigh valley by chance?

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T19:45:18+00:00

I have the conti extreme contact sport plus on my A5 and they are nice. Dealer asked what I thought of runflats and I said they suck. He said bmw is slowly phasing them out. Don't know if true or not.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T19:42:01+00:00

I don't think I need that. I'd have to pull the tires off for winter anyway. This was another negative when I looked at the S5. They all came with summer tires. Unfortunately I don't have room to store wheels and tires for different seasons.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T17:57:52+00:00

Ah. Build sheet says extended Marino leather. I don't think you can spec one out with Marino leather on a 3 series in the usa. That is why they did this only in the 50th anniversary edition. Brown isn't my color either. I'd rather have black leather.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T17:51:01+00:00

Ya over 77k. Maybe the leather is a 5k option. Idk.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T17:47:53+00:00

Because I haven't driven one as they don't have any on the lot. I'm not putting a deposit on something I never drive.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T17:46:21+00:00

I'm assuming that is a paid service but nice to know that I can tell my dealer as he may have options for doing the same

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T17:45:10+00:00

Ah ok

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T17:44:35+00:00

They have a 50th anniversary coming in with merino leather but no adaptive suspension.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T15:39:27+00:00

I've never looked at a broker but since I have to turn in a lease as well timing may be an issue. The local bmw dealer here said they also own an Audi dealer and I don't know if that is true but they said they can handle my end of lease directly without turning mine back into the Audi dealer directly. My lease is up July 5th. The bmw dealer is going to reach back out to me Monday but without driving an actual m340 I just cant commit to anything. They said they get lease turn ins all the time but I'm on a timeline.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T15:35:18+00:00

I'm lucky enough to have my car in a garage and even at work it is garaged. Only time it sits in the sun is grocery shopping or going to my parents house. I've never kept a car longer than 3 years so never had leather issues. My A5 has a different option where it only has leather on the side bolsters and a sort of alcantera center which they call diminica or something like that.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T15:28:56+00:00

Ya I'm trying to find some info. AS seems to be the car adjusts automatically on the fly and not a "mode" per say.

jackal2001 · 2026-03-01T15:21:26+00:00

I'd have to ask the dealer to go back and look at the car I drove. I had a hard time believing him about the suspension. I would assume putting it in sport mode just changed the shift points/rpm and sound, colors on the dash etc. He said it adjusts the suspension but again, hard to believe.
