Did anyone else start buying things for the car while waiting? So far I have:

Euro-reflectors from Bekkers
Rejex
Applicator for Rejex
Drying towels
Leather cleaner
Leather conditioner

I know a lot of you have a lot of things already but I have been driving a '95 Camry so the motivation to take care of it was not really there.

What else did you buy while you were waiting? I still have at least a month to go so I don't want to run out of ideas.

Where do you buy online?

I bought my reflectors from Bekkers a few months before delivery. That's about all I needed and it sounds like you've got the rest covered...

wood gear selector and wood e-brake handle. all weather floor rubber mats. some get the trunk mat as well but i didn't. i just flip the existing mat over and the rubber material works fine for me and it fits perfectly . a diecast model car if you can't wait . california duster. glass wizard. if you want to tint and change wheels, do some research. if you want to pamper her, get her a bra . oh, sorry . i mean if you want to protect the paint, get a clear bra. the list will go on and on. just see how deep the pocket you have .

oh, one more thing forgot to say. some of us, including me, changed the foglight to whiter bulbs. easy diy job and imo, looks better . some even changed the signal bulbs and side markers.

The BMW part numbers are on in the FAQ forum under the red reflectors topic. If you search e60 on the Bekkers site you should find it. There were only a handful of e60 parts. As I recall, it was pretty difficult to find them by browsing.

Would you still get the wood e-brake handle now that it comes with leather?
