It was for the M3 and 1 series, but participants also got to drive the 335d and the X5d. They were the European versions, but I am confident they will be very similar in terms of performance.<br /> The cars are amazing! These events are usually well attended by the Client Advisors at your local BMW dealerships. So I am sure they have more to describe to you than just "seeing them and playing with them". INCREDIBLE TORQUE, NO exhaust smells at all. You can put you nose right up to the tailpipes and it smells like a dryer sheet. It will be worth the wait!</p> BMW had a “Ride & Drive” event for Client Advisors this past spring. It was for the M3 and 1 series, but participants also got to drive the 335d and the X5d.

Horatiu had broke the news that it would be October and I honestly had hoped that was true and still there was nothing "official". I have a feeling that the X5d is the bigger issue... and that may be a bit behind schedule and from what Thomas has stated indicates that it will be available for order after the 335d which would put it at the end of November and then hitting dealers towards the Holiday season, possibly bumping things for the majority to after the New Year. Notice how we have not seen spy shots of the X5d.....</p> <p>As for "Irv", he is a great guy I am sure but he more than likely read that on his former blog and took it as fact, heck I would too. I know many well connected Client Advisors and have for many years and most will tell you that they know some inside stuff but it is not always accurate or is something you already knew.... BMWNA keeps them out of the loop real well and of late they are even more out of the loop as BMW is trying to find the leaks that keep us all going!</p> <p>All I know is that the people I trust have been saying the same things for sometime and the fact the car will be at the LA show and available for sale then says it will be. As far as the number of cars, who knows, I am sure they are not planning on moving a lot of these at this point.

The fact remains though, that they'll be on sale in November.</p> There was the mention that while production is beginning in sept and sales start in November supply will be tight at the dealer side until early in 09.
