IT has arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I'm driving home and I get a call. It's the BMW dealership at 9:15pm. This can't be good. Totally expecting the salesperson to tell me my car fell off the side of the boat or something. And then she says two words. "It's here". U turn time.

I signed all the papers and they let me snap some pics. All I have to do is go and plop down my downpayment and pickup the keys tomorrow. Not going to get much sleep tonight.

Ahh, my first color choice, white with red int, but alas, I got the dealer demo at a price that I could not say no to. Congrats. TC

You have NO IDEA.


Thanks guys!

If anyone is wondering, it's a 2011 with EVERY SINGLE option except for Auto high beams and Sat radio (just needs an activation code later).

I know you loved your Benz, but BMW is really on a different level in terms of driving enjoyment.. a different planet, really. You're going to love this. Can't wait to hear your first impressions. Did your C350 sell already?

I just hope, HOPE, that the M3 treats me as well as the C350 did. The M and I are going to have a little heart to heart before I take her off the lot tomorrow.

I (don't think) know I wouldn't be able to sleep the night before if I knew I was going to pick up something as awesome as this.

I also would've cried having to leave the car in the lot that night because I couldn't pick it up for some reason or another.

Nice car. Awesome options.
Your review after first long drive

I've only driven one for like 5 minutes in a garage, but it felt.. solid. s
