Don't know if I will flip the guys at the dealership the bird since I know them, but will probably laugh off whatever exhorbidant price they have in mind for the first arrivals. My 323i is more than good enough in the mean time any way.

Hey, nice to meet a fellow Albertan
. I know most of the guys (and gals) at that dealership as well, so they took it in stride; they know what I am like when it gets down to discussing $. It was nothing personal, I just expressed my unwillingness to entertain the price but with a smirk and no hard feelings. One of those ‘had to be there, have to know me’ moments.
My timeline to close an F10 is similar to yours, providing the pricing is fair and everything checks out. I too think the F10 would be a great fit. I love my 335i but I am 6'4" with disproportionately long legs and I just feel more comfy in the 5. The E60 felt great but I really did not like the styling at all, plus the N54 engine was not available at that time and I did not want to make the jump to a 550 (may as well just go with the M, IMO). I feel about the F10 almost as good as I felt when the 335i was introduced, just different. With the 335i the excitement for me was that BMW finally stuck some power in a 3 series without me having to pony up for an M and then put up with getting my guts banged around. With the F10 535 it is more of a holistic feeling; power, beauty, fit, comfort, not too much, not too little. I do not need an M badge, I just want a smile on my face and that little happy fuzzy feeling I'm sure we all continue to get in our gut when walking toward our B.
Anyway, I digress. If you know anyone in AB that would be interested in a meticulously cared for 2007 (August 2008 build - any early kinks were worked out by then) 335i toward the mid to end of 2010 let me know :-). Always slept inside a heated garage, no dings, no smoke, 6spd sedan, sport package, Sparkling Graphite, comfort access, bluetooth/ipod USB, nav, high perf winters on perfect alloy rims, etc.
Cheers! Let's hope for $3K less than last years 5, just because I'm a wishful thinker.
