thats EXCELLENT news!

i've been following your other thread and im glad everything worked out to your benefit even tho you might consider it a small setback now. you even got some nice upgrades this time around so im sure you'll be happy once it arrives and the keys are in your hands. enjoy and write up a report on what the differences are between the pre-LCI and LCI


enjoy man!

Hey guys , thanks for all the kind words and support. The guys at Brian Jessel BMW did a great job of handling this and I want to acknowledge them. It's this kind of service that has made them the largest BMW dealer in Canada for 5 years running ! I have a dealer much closer to my home but I was never impressed with the attitude and "vibe " there thus I made my first purchase at Brian Jessel after getting excellent pre purchase service .They have continued to impress me ever since. I know several of the Vancouver E60 Forums members are also customers there and I believe most have expressed pretty positive feelings about this dealer as well.

Thanks again
Cheers

.....and Hello 08 550///MSport ! I handed back the keys to my "problem car " and ordered a new one today . Due to the circumstances of being "Assisted by BMW Canada" I had to stick close to the original spec , especially color, but I did add a few goodies that I've learned I should have had the first time. ( thanks mostly to the fine group of members here !! ) I've included the total profile list in my signature but the new items were , HUD , Navigation, USB adaptor. I was not able to get the Aluminum Cube interior trim and opted for the Dark Bamboo............. I'm happy to be moving forward and will have to wait till early April for delivery. It will be interesting to own the pre LCI and LCI back to back and see what differences I notice. I certainly love the new head and tail lights ........... not big on front fender reflectors.

Thanks for the kind words and support !!...................... Let the waiting begin.

Cheers

PS despite ordering the Tech Package the lane departure is deleted with the addition of the Sport auto w paddles (is this just a Canadian thing ?? )

Thanks again ! I have been thinking about a few "mods". I purchased an M trunk finisher and trunk spoiler ( thanks Gary at Newport BMW ) and will get them painted and installed upon delivery as well as Hoen fog lights. I'm also thinking about a little tinting............ I don't want it dark just a slightly darker subtle shade of tint .............. ? The brake dust issue is something I want to address as well .............. anyone know anything about disc covers? I see them in Autogeek and they look like a good way to block the dust from coming through the spokes ??? As for the exhuast........ the wait is going to get expensive
Cheers
