We don't get enough fog to worry about it. I have it on my Mercedes, and I think I've used it once.

Bmrfam, since you're also an ED, please keep us (me) updated if you hear anything about your car. I'll do the same for you!

Will do. I have a feeling that since NY is closer to the NY VPC, you will be updating me!

Yeah, I will be swapping mine out shortly after delivery... It's sitting here on my desk. Also, I think I'm going to mod a tiny button (~8-10mm diameter) into the empty area on the left of the switch and wire my garage door opener in there too, since I don't have homelink. It'll look OEM

Ordered the OEM alarm as well earlier today. $230 + free shipping from Mile One (the parent company of a chain of dealerships on the East Coast) I got a tracking number about 20 minutes after I ordered! Real quick service.

Fyi, Circle BMW is $235.00 + Shipping and Crown BMW is $262 + shipping.

If anyones interested the link is here: http://www.mileoneparts.com/partloca...catalogid=4462

I thought about getting the alarm earlier and decided not to, but It'd be nice to have confirmation beeps when i lock/unlock and the blinking clown nose would be nice. Not to mention it's an alarm with a motion sensor, lol... Saves a small bit on the insurance bill as well. And - after reading the DIY write-up, it looks like a real fun install.

Thanks for the info. I may do the same. I'm so used to hearing a beep in my cars that everytime I get out of the X3 I keep pushing the lock button over and over in a vain attempt to hear the beep of the alarm. No such luck

Got my ride. Will post pics after doing some modding!!!

gerbs · 07-09-2007, 09:33 PM

A few more. She's so hawt!

I slipped the TiAg M3 a Franklin, and despite his jealousy, he's going to keep her company overnight.

Nice! Congrats! Too bad you could not drive her off the lot tonight! At least you know she's finally here!

BM8311 · 07-09-2007, 10:49 PM

Glad to see your car is ok ... the weather got pretty nasty around here for a few hours.

Yeah it's all good though. I don't know how I'm so patient with all of this... I think it's because today is day #72. One more day?

Shrug! and thanks

Hey thanks... Yeah, I peeked outside for a while around 3:00 PM and it seemed like it was 9:30 in the evening, those were some nasty clouds..

Click "Go Advanced" at the bottom of the post, and then find the

which is just to the right of the font face/size boxes. Then browse to the location of the image(s) on your hard disk or flash drives or whatever (up to 5 images at a time), and hit Upload. Once it's uploaded just close the window and submit the post normally and your images will be attached

Stinger · 07-09-2007, 11:45 PM

Simply amazing... Best decision ever was to buy a 335i convertible. I'm so loving this evening. It is the start of a beautiful relationship.

So here are some pictures I took. I'll do some more artistic and professional looking shots (oh and some with car seats) very soon.

Enjoy!

gerbs · 07-09-2007, 11:47 PM

Damn Stinger! Your crimson red looks soooo vibrant. The first pic showing the red in the light and the red in the shade is sick! How's the step feel?

Congrats!!!

Stinger · 07-09-2007, 11:57 PM

Thanks Gerbs! Your car looks very sweet too! Bet you can't wait to take it out of the dealership tomorrow?

The step is great; though, it certainly lacks the attachment a manual transmission sends to the driver. I like it but it was more of a compromise. My wife can't drive a stick and on the rare occassion she needs to use my car it needs to be an auto. Oh well, I think she is intimidated by the car already. She couldn't figure out how to lock/unlock it and the whole iDrive thing caused her to roll her eyes. lol! Oh well, I guess it's all mine...

Bimmerforlife · 07-09-2007, 11:59 PM

Wow cool photos guys, now we just need a white one for red white and blue,

Just found out my car won't be ready for pick up till Wed.

Bimmerforlife · 07-10-2007, 12:02 AM

gerbs, did you get any interior shots of yours, I want to see the Gray Poplar wood, I'm getting anxious.
