Ok just back from quick run with car; lights are great, Xenon is clear and concise, didn't notice lights moving with car around corners really.

I think since he order the car with nightvision and those parts are delayed, BMW offered to ship his car to the US without it but still charge ED pricing.
But,... those wheels don't fit the M-Package IMO...

Nice Ride! I just put my summer shoes on my car, 166's with PS-2's. WOW! What a difference, both in looks and performance. Much stickier than my winter tires and fits the wheel well better too.Again, Gratz on a nice color choice!

So Veight, I see you cancelled your EU Delivery. What gives?
As it ended up my car was produced last week. Plenty of time for me to have done the ED pickup. But I am glad it worked out this way. Ill do the ED next time.

My ED date was scheduled for 5/8. Due to some sourceing problems with the nightvision parts, my cars production was pushed back to the first week of May which made it impossible for them to get the car from the factory to Freiman in time. They gave me 2 choices, 1) let me drive a substitute 550 in Europe or 2) ship the car directly to my dealer. I wasn't doing any sightseeing this trip anyway so I elected the direct ship. I keep my ED invoice plus pricing. Si I should be getting my car faster.
