For everyone waiting for their new e60: I was on ebay last night and came accross a few 550's for sale (insert your car model). It was great being able to see all the various pictures and shot of what is essentially the car I am getting. Its been 6 weeks since I test drove and this is a way to ease my pain until delivery. Try it - it helps.

I did something similar. I down loaded all the black saphire pictures I can find off the gallery and stare at them in slide show mode. I am still going nuts but it does help a little since the dealer sold the only black SMG 550i I had been "test driving" these past few weeks. Ohhhhh the pain!!!
You guys make me laugh. Ebay, slide shows and visits to dealer lots on Sunday were therapy for me as well. Hang in there.
With the E60 in my hands now, its all about the driving. Yesterday, an hour and half of exta driving after work. No rush to get home anymore, just me and the beast.
I would recommended Ebay for viewing colors when making selections on a new car. IMHO, our gallery needs to be refreshed with better pics and some colors (ie, Monaco Blue) are not represented well. Just a thought.
