Well, I'm pretty happy with the configuration that I picked out and it's a lease anyway so I'll see what I like and what I don't like (although I'll probably love everything)... and then I'll see if I feel like I miss not having a couple of features that I didn't take....
The biggest question in my mind was the SMG that I opted for (never drove it but I originally intended to go with the manual trans), but as the days go by I feel confident that I chose the best transmission; especially when I read all the posts regarding it in this forum!

I'm happy that I was able to special order my car but I'm dying here waiting for it... my vehicle status went to "In production" this past weekend so I'm anxious for it to move to "Waiting for Transport" now....
Does anyone know how long it takes (more or less) just to build the car ??

Spend some time reading everything and the time will pass quickly, I hope. You can start by reading the following answer to your question asked above:
http://www.e60.net/faq/#pq2
And since you are waiting for an SMG car, the best thread to start reading about it is in the FAQ forum -- make sure to follow the links contained in the FAQ thread since they point to some great discussions and tech documents about the SMG!

Fantastic! Thanks Rudy... I appreciate the support and information.
I'll be sure to keep you guys posted as to the progress that my car makes and of course everyone will know when I receive it!

I just jot my first Bimmer.
I must admit that I have been getting up early and going to the garage and staring at her.
Is that wrong?
What about radar detectors?
What should I do?
