On a more positive note I did purchase a set of swift springs today so that made me feel better.

Nice! I don't have anything quite so substantial to install in mine (CAN Flap module, clutch stop) but it's nice to have presents all ready for the new arrival eh?

Absolutely, so far I have springs, pedal kit, IND cosmetic kit, gloss black exhaust tips, m performance floor mats and a few other mods laying around the house. I won't put everything on initially. I will wait a few weeks so that I can enjoy the car stock for a bit.

My car has been released to the carrier and should be departing Port of Baltimore within the next few hours. ETD to dealership is Monday.

Oh yeah - I have M Performance mats too I got all the M Performance CF bits installed at the port (except the rear spoiler - they were out) and being a ZCP it comes with black exhaust tips.

Excellent news! Glad it's not going to be a drawn out affair!

Lucky guy I ordered before the CP became available and didn't really push hard to add it. Enjoy!!

I go back and forth on adding the M Performance CF bits or going with Mode Carbon pieces. I like them both.

I hope I enjoy it. I'm hearing horror stories about the seats - and I have 1800 miles to drive to get home

I went with M Perf because they installed them for me and they're included in the residual of the lease so it was just an easy decision. Also, I don't have to remove them before returning it. But the Mode Carbon stuff is nice - I've looked at a few of their bits.

Slightly off topic here but perhaps you guys from NJ can help me - I'll be heading from BMW of Bloomfield down the Garden State Parkway and then out of state on I78 - how does the toll system work there? Do they capture your license plate (like they do here in Texas) and mail you a bill or do I have to stop at a cash toll booth? Are there cash toll booths? Or is there a better way (like a day pass)?

There will be cash/coin booths in NJ that you can go through.

Guess no one at BMW took into account the Memorial Day Weekend when quoting ETD dates. My car is still sitting on a truck in Baltimore per BMW genius this morning.

I did indeed. Got it early Monday afternoon, and made it to Fort Chiswell that night, to Little Rock the next day, had the 1200 mile service done at BMW of Little Rock (excellent service BTW - they had me in and out the doo very quickly) and then drove home to Texas yesterday in time for beers and bowling with the boys!

Had it tinted today in between taking a friend to and from surgery, so it's been a busy few days.

Beautiful! Oh - I am! I've become clairvoyant since getting it - I can see many speeding tickets in my future!

Only picture I have. Taken somewhere in Pennsylvania leading my friends to want to call her Penny.
