Frank,
Great news. My dealer tells me today that it will be 7-10 days from docking/unlaoding depending on customs/VPC/ the wait for transport. Looks like 7 days was right on the number for you!
Post pics of your new baby.

[/quote]joneill,
Click on "My Gallery" under my signature for the pics. Picked her up on Friday and it was pouring here in NJ. Drove around and went to dinner. Saturday drove to Atlantic City then back up to NYC then back to NJ. Put 300 miles on her that one day.
Only negative are the sport seats they are very uncomfortable.
Post your pics when yours arrives.
Hey drfd18, did you get yours yet??

Frank,
Looking good!! That color combo is freak'in awesome!!
My 530xi hits the Port of Charleston on 07/13.... so I'm getting close provinding there is no damage in transit and clears the VPC quickly. Traveling to DFW/Chicago on business this week so am hoping that will keep me busy and my mind off BMW's!
