If the factoids on here are true, you'd be better off influencing a September PRODUCTION for your 520d. It appears that the engine and gearbox are being updated wef September 2007 production.

Not much choice to delay due to lease timescales. Thanks for the thought anyway.

Hey Rudy,

The Emden is making good time! Start getting the Garage ready.

Here she was at 0600 this morning

I'm actually thinking it's not making such good time -- the other "0600" dot is from yesterday -- it seems to me that it could be going a bit faster than that, right?

It's entangled in the Sargasso Sea.

the possibility for modern engines to become entangled in the sargassum, stranding most vessels. Thus, it is sometimes called the "graveyard of ships."

It's never fast enough when they're coming to their new home :thumbsdown:

Waiting is truly the toughest part, especially when yo know the car is built and on the high seas.

Take a look at my signature for the model and specs...

If it gets on the Patriot (which happens to be the ship my current E60 came over on) it should arrive in Charleston on 7/7 which would put it at the dealership around mid-July, I guess.
Is there an option you missed? I think you covered all bases with this new ride. I can't wait to see some pics....only a few weeks more!
