My long ED re-delivery wait will come to an end at 1pm EDT today! Of course, it's raining and gross out, but I won't let that spoil my fun!
I'll post some pictures after I get it.

Yippee! That's great news!!
Man, I'm betting the wait after ED is the worst -- you wait for ED to happen, get a taste of things during ED, then you have to wait again after having the taste.
At least my six month wait between order and delivery was just that -- a wait. Once I got the car, I couldn't imagine having to part with it again to wait some more!

My guess is we won't be hearing from MrBelk for the rest of the afternoon...
I am reminded how AWESOME the car is. Silver Grey is a beautiful color in bright sunshine, and the Style 124 wheels with the monster tires really fill out the wheel-wells.
Of course, it rained right as the guy was coming back from filling it up, so the car got sprayed with dusty road mist on the way back, so it's a little dirty, but it's a good excuse to give it a good washing.
My only complaint is the same one as before; the damn clutch delay valve. Clutch engagement and take-up is way too soft, so I'm going to have a local Dinan mechanic remove and/or replace it with a free-er one.
The wait was torture, but now that it's over, it's just water under the bridge. Absence does truly make the heart grow fonder.
I wonder if I will be such a head-case when we do ED on my wifes X3 next spring? I hope so. The day I'm not excited about getting a new bimmer is the day that I will leave the marque.

So how about those pics then?
If you're hankering to see some pics of the car in a more "natural" setting, just go to www.thebelkfamily.net/travel and look at the pics from my ED trip. There are some real good shots of the car in its natural habitat: Southern Bavaria.
