After being a BMW fanboy for most of my life and seeing countless wonderful European Delivery stories shared by the members, I have finally decided to take on my first European delivery adventure with my supportive wife.
The new M4 will be my third BMW and second M car. First hard thing to do was to let go my beloved 2008 E92 M3 that I had ownership for almost 6 years. The beast had always been running strong and never had any issues during my ownership. As much as I would like to keep both old and new, but financially it was just not feasible. Luckily, after few months of searching, the car finally went to an enthusiast from this forum.
Few last shot of my old beast.
I was able to secure a November allocation from my dealership back in September 2014. But due to my schedule, I was not able to take ED between Nov~Dec, so I have decided to do a late winter/early spring ED and praying the weather will cooperate. Initially, my CA was not sure BMWNA will accept an ED order with almost 6 month in advance, but surprisingly our ED date (Feb 28th, 2015) was confirmed by BMWNA on Sept 26th, 2014.

IND front reflector (Color matches really well)
Crappy pics from iPhone.
