My Ride: 2008 535xi / Platinum Grey / Black leather / Step Auto / Sport / Premium / Cold weather / 18" wheels / Logic 7 / Comfort / ipod / Navigation / Fold Down Rear Seats / Rear Airbags / Sirius SAT / Spoiler / Extended Clear bra / Bluetooth. (Previously owned a 2002 sport 525I Loaded).
On order: 535xi Platnium Grey with Black interior, Step Auto, Sports package, Premium package, Cold weather package, 18" wheels, Logic 7, Comfort access, ipod adapt, Navigation, Sat radio, Rear spoiler, Extended Clear coat bra.
I just called BMW NA and was told that my car is in production and is currently in the body shop. I was assigned a VIN# 
and has a scheduled completion date of September 5th. 
I'm excited now and can't wait. It's not the same feeling I had when I bought the one I have now. Hard to explain but just knowing I'm getting the options I wanted originally and following the process is exciting. 
So far so good with the one I have now but I still wonder everytime, and I mean everytime, I start the car is it going to start. I guess after all the times it didn't and the times it left me stranded for hours I still have some resentment towards the car, BMW and the whole experiance from inception. I guess what they say is true, what you don't know won't hurt you, so the next person that owns this car will have a fine car, I hope.
