Jesal,
Been looking for your post-trip follow up post with pictures! Can't find em! Reason I ask is that your car and trip will be my exact trip as well!
Next month I'm planning on ordering an IB E90. I got ED for $1k over ED invoice as well!
Now I need to plan a 2-3 day trip and figure the best time to pick up so I can time my order properly!
Must see pics of your car!
nm found it
