Hi Guys and Gals,

Just found out the my new baby is being delivered in the 5/3/08

Was originally scheduled for 21/03.... but you know German efficiency!

Means I have just over 2 weeks till she is here

Now I actually know the date I can't stop thinking about it and it is driving me mad... can anyone help - I just seem to keep on re-building a model of it over and over on the BMW website

I've been doing the same thing. It's driving my wife crazy. She thinks I'm an absolute idiot.

You are not alone. Mine is scheduled for delivery at about the same time. I'm going nuts.

This is the last time I'm ordering a car from the factory. I'm an American, dammit. I need my instant gratification.

Mine is on the ship in transit now. Expected delivery 1st week in March. I think I've already put 1000 miles on it... in my mind.

Me too. Mine's ready to be picked up on March 1st. I was going to let the dealer deliver it, but they couldn't do it until the Monday....this way I get it on the Saturday and get a 200 mile drive home to play with it.....(bought through the company and they use a central dealership rather than one close to my home).

(|I've also copied all the large size pics from the BMW website configurator and set them as a desktop slideshow.....)

Glad to hear that I am not the only Mad Man - maybe the only one on this side of the Atlantic though!!!!

How are you guys passing the hours?..... My constant checking of this site looking for cars that will look remotely like mine seems to be a constant source of pleasure

Personally, I am using the time to put as many miles on my E61 2004 530d before it gets handed back in exchange for the new one.....driving around looking for E61s M-Sports in Platinum grey to see how the colour looks.
