Congratulations! I know the wait was killing you. I always enjoy seeing these fast turnarounds from ship to dealership. It is so painful otherwise. (I know some of you guys are still waiting!) It only took a few days for your car, though. That is great news!!

Exciting!

As scheduled, my wife and I picked up our new car this morning.

Driving it home, I have to say this is one awesome automobile. I am just amazed at the improvements from my 1999 E46 328i; just a far more satisfying driving experience. Now I'm off to learn more about this wonderful marvel of engineering...

Here are some pics taken at the dealer:

Three words...wow wow wow!

Enjoy!

Thanks. We just got back from another drive, and it's just amazing how nice it is to simply drive this car!

What color did you get? It is so nice. Enjoy

It's Jet Black, with the Lemon/Black interior and Dark Burl Walnut trim.

Thanks for the compliment!

I almost forgot. I would like to thank spn for helping to track this vessel. I really appreciate her help; it made the wait more interesting and exciting.

I may be back to tracking ships again in a couple of years - I'm awaiting the 5 series redesign in 2011 and will decide then if I'm trading my new baby in or keeping it long term.

Congratulations and enjoy your car! It is fun to track with a group online and it makes the time more enjoyable. The more the merrier! You are now a tracking expert, Jerry, and will be able to pick it up next time and know just what to do. Hopefully, there will be a few other pieces of technology to help us track by that time.

Perhaps GPS tracking to provide up-to-the-minute status!?!? That would be nice...

The earliest I'm picking my car up is Saturday...as my dealership is ~300 miles away.

JerryR,

Looks like you won the tire lottery! I can tell from your pics that you have the Michelin PS2 Runflats instead of the Bridgestones! Lucky you!
