Thumbs up from the Wife!!!!!!
I thought it might take a few months to convince my wife to go for this, but it took only 2 days. E55 here I come 
The car hits the dock on Mon., so in 7-10 I should be behind the wheel.
I brought it up the other day, and it didn't really go over that well. She said "we need to talk about this". Oh, Oh I'm in trouble I thought. We were in Toys R' Us with the kids today and I brought it up again. Still, stiff resistance. OK, this calls for extreme measures I thought. I was going to mention the cost of some of the jewelery I've bought her, but I decided against it. That might really **** her off. I offered to sell a few of my watches (although I had no plans to actually go ahead and sell them). Still not getting thru, but I sensed a little softening. I looked at her with a very serious look and said: "If I don't get this car, I'll die". She busted out laughing, called me an idiot and said go ahead!!
Here's what's on the way: '04 Brilliant Silver/Charcoal, Burl Walnut, DVD NAV, V60 phone, CD Changer, Lighting package, Parktronic, Trunk closer. Actually I could have done without the parktronic and trunk closer, but oh well. I can't wait!!!!

You know what, the two most impressive features my wife appreciates about the car are the trunk closer and parktronic so everyone should be happy!

Good strategic planning Chris, bringing it up at Toys R' Us appealing to her motherly love as another baby wanting his toy, painting scary pictures of the kids and herself, the single without the father.

You took a chance out of sheer desperation and revealed yourself to be what we all know we are but which is normally safeguarded at all costs. I believe you have gone beyond simply being a man who thinks on his feet, to pure genius. However, my wife says that once your wife gets a real taste of what an incredible car it is, she'll be fighting you for the keys.
