In addition to the tiedown hook cover, you can also see the "shipping" wiper blades are installed as well as the shipping blocks in the springs (look at how high the car is sitting between the top of the tire and the wheel well arch.) All that stuff will be fixed during the PDI...
Congrats on the arrival! Looks nice!!

Its here!!! I couldnt wait! I took pics as it came off the truck.... Enjoy!!
I've had a few problems with mine but they've bee taken care of by BMW. I'm currently on the donors list(what I call it) for a new pressure pump (fuel pump) no big deal. But in case you are wondering what happened, I was in Capemay NJ for the day and attempted to start the car when I was coming home with my wife. The engine turned over but would not start. I attempted to start it several times and somewhere in that time frame the car started. It has done this to me in 3 seperate occassions. My service rep at BMW was aware and told me the next time it happened to bring it in so they can put it on the computer and see if it infact is the pressure pump. I brought it in yesterday and he called me today and confirmed that it was the pump which is on national back order. They opened a puma case and conducted more tests to aquire the FASTA data. They transmitted all the info to the technical hotline at BMW and I was approved for a pump. Because of short demand not everyone is approved for the pump. Several test have to be conducted to ensure you get a PUMA case number. The new part number is PN 13 53 7 537 320. Now I just have to wait a week or so. This problem was found in the 2006/2007 335's with the same engine. Just incase it happens you have an idea and are ahead of the game. It happened to me the first time when I had around 1200 miles on the car.
By the way I did some research and got the info about the pump on the turbo engines from guys in this forum and the e90 forum, thanks to them I was informed.
