My Ride: 2007 Titanium Gray 550i, with sport, nav, HUD, Logic7, sat radio, cold weather, rear side airbags, rear seat heaters, and it goes like a bat outta hell!
Well, I got a PM from a fellow forum memeber this afternoon who is also in California telling me his dealer called today to tell him they had his car. Our cars were on the same ship, which made port on Tuesday in Oxnard. I figured...if his car was here, mine should be too!! My salesman has Thursdays off, so I just drove down to the dealership and there she was....fresh off the truck. It was about 4:30 this afternoon, so I'll take delivery tomorrow, but I did a quick once over on the car....and.....ummm...damn she's sweet!!
Hopefully, by noon tomorrow I'll be playing some serious hooky!! The benefits of being self-employed!!
If I can remember to think about anything but driving, I'll take pics!!

You guys do well in the US it would take a UK dealer probably 3 or 4 days to prepare the car following delivery.

I hope that you don't have any sort of medical condition, for example heart disease. Anyways, have fun with your new car. I guess we won't be seeing you for a few days. Please think of us and post photos though.
