Awesome! Unfortunately, the dealer is correct that they cannot register it without the paperwork from BMW. I had this happen once - the paperwork is shipped separately from the car so that the truck drivers don't get held up and have cars taken with the full documentation. I think Xecellere had the same issue when his car came in. You should take the opportunity to bug them to get everything right - mats, make sure they upgrade all of your software (iDrive) to the latest versions, etc. Don't steal it - that would just mean more days without it. And more importantly, I wouldn't get to ride shotgun! |

OK guys. I declare pre-emptive strike to the "this thread is worthless without pics" posts that I know will increase every day that goes by without pics.
I don't want to suffer the fate GregW did. So, here is a teaser pic, merely documenting a part of my story. I will post some nice pics in the pics section of the forum after I take delivery tomorrow morning. Hopefully, the rain will stop by then. P.S. I was at the dealer again this morning to finalize the deal, and the title of origin showed up in the process, so they will register the car today and clean it up. It will be ready tomorrow. I consider myself lucky throughout this process (once the order was placed). The car went into production on 2/26, and I'll drive it home on 3/29. Not bad.

I was in bed for 8 hours last night, but slept for no more than 3.

Thanks Keto, I had another chance to check out another IB/PS coupe at the dealer. The colors really kick ass. Very rich. Nothing like most of the pics we have seen so far. You'll be happy.

It's funny how we all demand pics but when everyone sees the colors IRL the consensus is that the pics suck for color.
Perhaps M3Post should have a mandatory photography class or something...

The special M3 colors really should be seen in person as they are designed to be tricky. The car has so much more presence in real life and the colors look rather different. I have a feeling this has happened to the extereme with MR. I think people will think differently about MR once they see it for themselves. The lousy pic above on rainy day obviously does not do justice to JB either...

I'm beginning to feel the pressure again. Will I be able to meet expectations and perform? And where shall these pics be taken? If I was in Cali, I'd hit Highway 1 and the hilly streets of SanFran, but am not too sure about around here. WCH, any suggestions? Maybe some urban shots in Beacon Hill, followed by some NE country roads? I won't get any sleep tonight either.

Good idea, but think of the time needed for elimination.
Best regards, south
