Santorini Blue is gonna be so haWWWWWWt

Yeah, I'm just trying to stay positive and think about the new one. I couldn't wait to do another European Delivery, but I wasn't thinking it would be so soon, or under these circumstances.

Hope you make a documentary/video of your experience given the ED experiences of M3 deliveries are severely lacking on Youtube.

Keep us posted man.

Thanks! I'll be documenting the delivery for sure. I did a write up on my previous one, but I want to get a little more in depth this time. I'm not great with video, but I'll certainly give it a shot!

I have Liberty Mutual, and it is unnerving to hear about the conflict you're having with them.

Liberty Mutual has been absolutely impossible to deal with. They came back to me with absurd offers for the car, and it's clear to both me and my attorney that they are actively trying to minimize the claim by using bogus comparison vehicles. Using a 138k mile M3 to compare to my 75k M3? Come on now, not even close guys...

Since they have stopped responding to my attorney even after we have provided them with everything they have asked, he is now seeking to escalate the claim. I'll take them to court if need be, they really picked the wrong BMW owner to fuck with.

I've already got quite a bit of stuff waiting for it. Looking to go ESS 550 after I get some mileage on it too.

Thanks Sam! It was a pretty tough choice, I originally ordered it in Alpine White again, but changed it after much debate.

Oh, I'm bringing my Canon 5D2, 60D and a GoPro Hero 2. I should have no shortage of media!

Thank you, I'm looking to put a lot more effort into it once I find the time. Should be a bit more active this spring!

I thought about getting Monte Carlo Blue (actually had it approved by BMW as a back up in case Santorini got shot down), but I wanted something "different" and there seem to be a lot of MCB cars out there.

OP, I just placed an order for Santorini as well. The dealer should be working on getting approval now.

Did it take any extra time to get Santorini approved, any walls that BMW put up that you had to scale? Any helpful advice?

Thanks!

I'm sorry to read about your current cars, but congrats on the santorini non the less!

The dealership told me that it could take up to 3 weeks for approval, however I heard back in 3 days. No walls at all, it went very smoothly. As long as your dealership has a relationship with Individual you shouldn't have a problem! Good luck!

Thanks, I've been going crazy with only my Jeep Cherokee to drive since the storm. While I love it, an M car it is not... The Santorini should ease the pain a bit
