Wonderful news! I don't know if I could wait. I would be tempted to fly to the east coast and drive it back. I asked if I could pick it up at the factory here in Germany. The salesman said that was no longer allowed. 
You are one patient person Enjoy!!!

bmwin14rsm, you gave me a fright when I read your signature. I suddenly thought that I had forgotten to order PDC on my car. After kicking myself for the oversight, I realized that PDC is standard on the 2005 545i. 
I'm a happy camper again!

My Ride: 2005 545i SMG. Titanium Grey with Grey interior and Anthracite wood.
I did the exact same thing when I saw the PDC not on my form. I called my saleman right away. I ordered my 2005 without even seeing the order sheet. The dealorship didn't know at the time PDC was now standard on the 545 either. It is curious that Sirius isn't showing up on the order, but I was told, it is a dealor installed item. I have Navigation, and I know 2004's can not have Sirius, but was told the 2005's will have Sirius and Nav.
If anyone knows different on the Sirius issue, please let me know.

Did you order the satellite radio or just the prep? I ordered Sirius and it shows up on Owner's Circle order details as "Satellite Radio".
I hope I'm not bearing bad news!

bmwin14rsm, did you trace your car by entering the VIN in the 2WGlobal website or did you deduce it was on the Elektra by the date it left Germany? I tried tracking my car on the 2WGlobal site but couldn't find it.
I'm just hoping my car followed yours! Perhaps its a stowaway!
