It was kind of getting dark, and my CA was with another client, but he did hand me the keys and point at the door, and said I had until 8. So, I ran out into the parking lot, which was huge and had lots of cars on it. I looked around for 15 seconds, and quickly spotted MY M3! It was parked in between two 335 coupes, and boy, did it dwarf them in appearance. I ran up to it in disbelief, couldn't slow myself down and ended up running in circles. The car looks fucking awesome! JB/FR/CF rules big time!!!!!! I am so glad I chose this color combo. It looks good in pictures, and is even much better in person. Then I sat inside, and couldn't help screaming "Yeah!" at the top of my voice by myself. There were a couple of guys walking around who looked at me rather funny to say the least. For the next 20 minutes, I messed with this and that until the engine warmed up, and gave it a few throttle blips. OMFG! Nothing like the sound of very your own M3. 
So, now the reeaallly painful part begins. Sitting around and waiting until Monday for the paperwork to show up. 
Would the Police have anything on me if I were to steal my own car?  |
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!
