6' 1" and I feel real good in it best fit yet, I have always had a coupe, my 1984 320i, 1987 325is, 2004 328ic, 2008 335i, 2011 335is, and now my 2015 M4, I fit in all of them perfectly!

Well I got her out of the dealership and on the highway, and for now parked in her new home.

Only one minor problem the Navigation is still in German mode and BMW forgot the codes for the NA mode to activate. So I should have the code sometime tomorrow for it.

She is a little louder then I remember when starting the engine and they done the first service for it's 2000km, and she is fine, and she can move!

I didn't realize how much I missed her, the torque!

Unfortunately I am working all weekend and it's going to rain but I don't care I am riding!

I invite the others from the trip to post there finial delivery when they get theirs on here.

Probably because you've gotten use to the x1 lol. That's awesome though. I'll probably see you cruising around the neighbourhood

So happy for you all, our ED was last March with our M5 - can't wait to do it again!!!

jezzy · 08-02-2014, 08:30 PM

Fantastic! thanks for sharing.. makes me want to save my pennies and upgrade one day!

MParallel · 08-03-2014, 06:54 AM

It's nitpicking, but I prefer the look with the Euro export plates

The euro plates visually lower and widen the car.

gmazet · 08-04-2014, 12:49 PM

this post pretty much sold me on ED for next year. now to start plotting out my 2 week odyssey

///Machiavelli · 08-04-2014, 04:13 PM

Congrats on the new ride Farley!

Thanks for sharing the pics, it looks like you had a fantastic experience. Makes me reminisce about my own ED experience seeing some of the locales. I stayed at the Charles Hotel too and also drove Grossglockner Pass!

In fact, I even had the same problem with the dealership neglecting to change my navigation maps! It was the first of many issues I had with Parkview BMW, I'll never go back. I mean what do we pay $1200+ in PDI for, the crappy car wash?

It's nice to see such a noteworthy car go a true enthusiast. Enjoy her company in good health!
