slant83 · 12-22-2007, 02:56 PM

All I can say is amazing!!! I now have 80 miles on her and almost have mastered the iDrive. SWEET. The iPhone links up great via bluetooth and USB is great for iPod/Iphone as well.

My CA yesterday threw in mats, full tank of gas, touch up paint and a hat. I forgot to clip him for the wheel locks

Pictures to follow

Hey Slant! Congrats and the car! The pic didn't display properly above -- looks like it's a local path on your Mac.

Originally, my CA had said my car would be ready Thursday, which turned into Friday, which turned into today (Saturday).

My car was delivered to the dealership in Saint Petersburg, FL this morning but the tint guy won't be back from vacation until Wednesday. As such, I will not be picking the car up until then.

Ugh, the wait was bearable to this point, but now that I know it is just down the street, my patience is taking a beating...

My tint guy is set for Monday. Really hot today without it..I wasn't waiting

ManyMoonsAgo · 12-22-2007, 03:19 PM

Good call slant; I debated taking delivery without tint, but considering I am flying out for the holiday tomorrow morning, I opted to let the dealership hold on to the car. While I am flying back Wednesday morning, my car will be getting some TLC. Hopefully I can take a cab straight from the airport to the dealership.

Enjoy your new car!

XxLancaxX · 12-22-2007, 03:31 PM

You guys suck! lol Still waiting here. My car is suppose to hit tom and ill pick it up Monday hopefully.

We're totally considering a move to a warmer climate (Florida, Texas, NC, SC are possibilities on the list.) My wife is a warm weather girl. I think driving would be much more fun in warmer weather... especially without that silly snow-flake warning popping up everytime the temp goes below 37 degrees.

It's a bummer that everyday, my car is covered with road salt! I've rigged up my hose to the utility sink spicket and have been giving my new baby a warm shower every night just to rinse the salt off. My neighbors think I'm nuts!

Congrats on the car again and stay safe!

gerrydirish · 12-22-2007, 04:09 PM

Wait a minute, I LIVE in Boca and I am getting only a 328I sedan.....lol

Most likely what they give the help around here........lol

slant83,

FYI, I grew up in Bergen County all my life and we used to party up on 9w and Englewood cliffs many years ago. Is where I learned to drive stick on my friend's parent's datsun b210.. Late at night driving up to NY state line and back from Ft Lee, and a long long time ago......

It is a small world............

Congrats to all who have their cars.............

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, is only a day away!!!!!!!

I don't see why they would deliver on Sunday, dealers are closed on Sundays in IL.
