BMWDavid and Jimmy Bach at Steve Thomas BMW for making this happen. Also, special thank you to Nick/Kelli/Rachel/Andy at PCD for making this one hell of a fun vacation.
Also, met some great people while I was in town:
jdarwin, a colleague from my office in town to pick up a m3 (small world!), a few BMW geniuses on site for training, and at the one day car control class. The BMW community is truly great and passionate about the brand.

The combo of EBII and silver wheels is perfect IMO - looks elegant and sporty at the same time. lad I decided to pull the trigger on silver wheels!
I absolutely love this car and I can say after many many BMW's this is my absolute favorite one. In the small amount of time that I've had this car in my possession the amount of positive feedback from strangers is overwhelming; including the man without teeth at the shell gas station in TN! ha "Is that the new BMW M...well hot damn".
My friend took professional pictures but I'll connect with him soon. Here is what I have for now while she sits in the garage during full detail process; first coat of Ammo reflex and skin applied.

Finally home!
Trakktape and blue painters tape worked perfectly! No issues at all. Never had to fix a single piece of tape during the 11h ride home.
Ignore the tape on the vinyl siding - last minute repair from wind storm. haha Bigger fish to fry! The red headed step child is jealous in the garage.
Baby's first bath!
Thanks for looking! More to come.
