Hello Everyone,
I posted the question regarding M-Sport package versus getting a lot of options a while back. I finally pulled the trigger and made the purchase during my lunch this afternoon. I ended up with:
530i
Carbon Black/Black
Navigation System
35% Tint all around
Premium Package:
Universal Garage Door Opener, Exterior Auto Dimming Mirror, Interior Auto Dimming Mirror, Through Load with Ski Bag, Heated Seats Rear, Park Distance Control (Includes visual display), Logic7 Sound System.
M-Sport Package:
M Aerodynamic Package, M Multi-Function Leather Sport Steering Wheel, (Deletes heated steering wheel), Sport Seats, M Sport Suspension, Anthracite Roof Liner, 18" M Double-Spoke Alloy Wheels - Style 135M, (Deletes compact spare tire), High-Gloss Shadow Line.
My dealer has the car in stock, so I get to pick it up on Wednesday night. However, even the 48 hours are killing me. I wanted comfort access instead of teh nav., but my salesperson said it would be approximately 2 months to get a car in for me. Since I am 22 years old and extremely inpatient, I felt the time value of having the car definitely outweigh not have comfort access. I leased the car, so it's really not mine anyways. Regardless, I'm sure navigation will be useful one day...
So now, the wait begins, I'm counting down the hours...

Ha-Ha. Yeah, i'm in Toronto as well. I'm picking it up from BMW Toronto.
The only reason I asked what dealership you bought it from was because I didn't decide until today and I thought you had bought the car I was looking at. (It really looked the exact same to me) I was soo pissed!
I live in Mississauga so we can both be excited together because nobody in my family cares either.

It's good to finally be in the family. I've been wanting to be a part of it for a while, even before I got my current car...it took a while, but finally here!
Off Topic: (Sort of - my thread, my rules, jk)
Any reccomendations for suppliers of Rejex and the brighter PIAA fog lights (I think 4700k) in Canada? Toronto preferably...
