Good luck to you too. The 6FL will be in the car. Positive thinking.

I look forward to seeing pictures.

335e90 - Any news on your car yet?

Don't mean to interrupt all your guys delivery excitement, but can someone help me figure out where our ship is?

Vessel: Western Highway
Call sign: 3EJK5
Shipping Company: K-Line

According to some CAs it could be docking in Charleston sometime today (5/21). The arrival date on the sheet my CA faxed me as well as what is said on the K Line website is the 24th (Thursday).

I've been trying to use AIS Live, but can't seem to get my account working. Any help?

It is the integrated Ipod/USB option now available.

BMFJOHN · 05-21-2007, 11:36 AM

Just talked to the CA, and he'll have it ready by 6:30 (cst) today. Tint guy couldn't make it out today, so I might wait to post pics until I get the tint done. TX, how's your workday going?

Yes, it's been available for a while now, but ONLY factory installed. It's mounted in the center armrest right next to the aux. input. There are many posts on here about it.

So far, so good. I had some appts added to my schedule at 4:00, I'm not happy about that, but they are short appts. I should be able to make it to the dealer by 5:00.

How is yours going. Gettting anything done?

LI E90 · 05-21-2007, 12:26 PM

Unfortunately I don't have a choice with making my day easier. I'm a first year dentist, and my day is pretty booked with appts. I've already done a root canal and taken out wisdom teeth today.

That's funny. I am an orthodontist. Graduated dental school in 1997. I know how busy your day can be. Especially if you are an associate. Luckily it is the last week of school here in TX, so it is slow at the office.

You have got to be kidding me! I knew we had too much in common, our cars riding on the same boat together, same port, etc. That is hilarious!
I've even considered moving to Dallas. I have some buddies that live there and a guy I graduated with just joined a practice down there that is doing really well and wants me to join him when he opens his own practice. Ortho treating you pretty good down there?

I can't complain. Able to buy a 335. I just opened my own practice, so it is a little rough, but I am working as an associate to help out during my start up.

The Dallas area is great. Fast growing. Lot's of opportunity.

3 hours and counting

BMFJOHN · 05-21-2007, 05:38 PM

My damn CA just called and said that they are missing some part that has to be installed for the ipod adapter. I said, "I thought it was installed at the factory, like you told me once before?" He gave me the run around and now the whole delivery process is spoiled b/c my CA is incompetent.

BMFJOHN · 05-21-2007, 05:39 PM

What the real story is, is that I told him I would do a crown on him for free if he gave me the 6FL/Ipod and window tint. He agreed and then probably realized that he could save himself some money by doing the dealer installed option. This blows! He did say that the dealer installed one is a usb device. Does anyone know about this???

jfulcher · 05-21-2007, 06:14 PM

It's not as good, but similar functionality..

Ryan@Motorwerks · 05-21-2007, 06:55 PM

I got it! Everything went smoothly they got me the Ipod cord, tint was well done(a few minor issues but it has lifetime warranty, so plenty of time to get perfect). Man I am so happy! Thanks for your concern BMFJohn and TXcoupe, I hope you guys are enjoying your car as much as I am. Off to go for a drive.

Congrats. I am glad you were able to get it today. Where are the pics.

I picked mine up at 5:30. Did not get out of there until 8:00. Everything went well. No issues with the prep. Looked great. Best part, no holes drilled for the front plate. :rocks: CA said they wait and ask the customer at delivery. The drive home was unbelievable, and way too short. I am looking forward to going to work tomorrow.

Here are a few pics that I snapped as soon as I got home. I'll take some interior shots tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who made this wait bearable.

Now to start modding. That reflector needs to go.
