Won't be able to pick it up until next week, but here are a few pictures that I snapped yesterday. Notice that the car was delivered to the dealership with 0.2 miles! More photos to come after delivery.

I thought I read somewhere, yers ago... that all new BMW cars come with 2 miles from the factory. This is because all new BMWs are supposedly test-driven before they can pass final inspection, and that test drive was always 2 miles long.??

If I remember correctly, all new BMW's start with minus 2 or 3 miles on the odometer to counter the test drive they do. I could be wrong though.

I heard of the 2 mile test drive route too... Also heard about the starting at -2 miles before too. I've seen a M5 with 0 miles delevered to the customer so the -2 miles might be true...
I think mine came with 5 miles on the clock. and the MINI came with 7 miles...

Supposedly the miles depended on what port your car came in through. However, mine came in through SC just like joseyu's and I had something like 5 or 6. I got ripped off
