I see various members that have ordered. I just received production date a few mins ago from dealer hopefully, he is correct. I have week 23 (Jun 4) production, shipped to Port Hueneme, CA (West Coast) then, delivery shortly after (in a perfect world). Here is shipping schedule for Port Hueneme:
Hoping for Madame Butterfly! (long shot) (note the 14 day gap in vehicle carriers to CA after june 8)
Anyone else expecting delivery on the West Coast, CA? Who will be the first to drive one US, INTL, anyone? Maybe not such a big deal overall especially those that have SMG but, i cant wait for this car to show up!!!

I doubt I'll be "the first" but I'm hoping to be "one of the first" -- just like some of us were with the SMG back in April of 2004...

We currently 550 in production with the sport transmission, sold naturally, with a completion date of 6/4/2007.
I'll be picking up my 550i with sport auto transmission on 25 June in Germany. I'll post my experiences by later that week.

You must have used your pull as e60.net forum moderator! But, will you get/drive yours before me?
Yes, it looks as though mdreiling is the front runner for the first review of the new sport auto...cant wait!

I might get mine before you get yours -- doesn't it take longer to get to the West coast? Clearly we won't beat mdreiling...
