You should be in sales. Now I have the urge, just to get the new toys. I believe this is going to be your lost, but very enjoyable weekend. Sort of like Christmas Eve when you were a really young kid.

Post pictures of the maple next week when you can please. I have the same color combo on order and would love to see it. Congrats on finally getting this.....I still can't believe you got married and got your new E60 so close together. I guess maybe you are trying to get your new bride to get used to your obsession!
