congratulations DD!! your car looks awesome, spectacular interior and superb choice of options.
i so love titanium grey! how does it feel with that much torque pulling you down M77?
it is grip, grip and more grip.
i believe the button on the door control panel is for the folding mirrors correct?
the exhaust tail pipe are the new ones which conform the the higher standard correct?
i was as excited as you during your countdown, what a car doc. drive, drive and more drive.
if you have a moment i like to see the folding mirrors (in folded position), extended interior light (at handle & ext mirror) and the tv function on idrive please.

I think that button on the door handle is for the window lock. I have the power rear sunshade and rather than the one big button, I have two, one with the green light for the window lock and the other for the power sunshade.

OK, some early points
Firstly thanks everybody for the nice posts
The car is in a locked garage overnight so oiks needn't apply
The window switches are bottom..lock for rears, top..button for folding in wing mirrors.
Interestingly, I didn't delete smokers pack so am abit annoyed there are no power sockets in the rear...needed these for the kids dvd player for long journeys...Wonder if the wiring is behind the panel. However, my panel is at least wood and not plastic.
the power socket in the trunk (boot) is also not there, I do however, have the various storage places and cubby holes including one with a door!
There is no flashlight in the glovebox
Voice Control is not working HOWEVER I noted on my invoice that ?190 was deducted from the cost to compensate, apparantly it can be added later when the software arrives for around that cost.
It pulls like a train and sounds so so so undiesel like.
The Sun-Protection Privacy glass is fantastic (and looks great as well)
The Single CD drive shows cd-text, the changer doesnt. Neither play MP3
The television is really neat but I haven't found the teletext function yet!...maybey its not there!
The exhaust is straight as the EU4 spec engine has a particulate filter (the idrive service menu says it needs changed in another 120,000 miles !)
freebies......nice "5" keyrings, mats, mudflaps, get it washed whenever I like etc etc.
altogether the best BMW I have owned
I'll do my best to photograph any special requests you may have over the next few days, just post them

Hey DD! Congratulations!!!!!
It looks fantastic!!! And I really like the anthracite maple trim inside. I also wish we could get in the US that TV function, that could be great, but no luck.
Also, it's nice to see the maple trim on the rear of the console, since it's the first one I've seen posted with it from the factory.

Congratulations DD.
I guess you'll be out later to check out the xenon lights and the extended lights package.
No torch in glovebox? I thought that was UK standard along with the First Aid Kit, triangle etc. Maybe the power sockets at the back are not UK standard either.
Enjoy!!!!
