My Ride: 2011, X6 Hybrid . Alpine White , every option. 20" Conti' NON runflats,OEM trunk spoiler , LUX V3 AE's , HP Thunder Fogs , custom front bumper reflector delete........
I found out on Friday that my new car is ready for the ship !! Now I just need to get rid of the wheels and figure out the best way to put 166's on without any $$ upcharge ,The dealer won't do it, they've offered me $2000 for the mounted 172's if I supply the 166's with tires . Given all the crap I've been through I would have thought they would accommodate this change since the 172's are actually a little cheaper than 166's !! I'm sure someone here will need some 172's , I've got 5-6 weeks to figure it out.The weather should be getting more like Spring when it's delivered so I'm getting pumped !

2011 535xi Tasmin Green, Venetian Beige
I got the same info when I called today about my car. I hope that it really is 6 weeks because my SA thinks it will be closer to 3-4 and I really don't want it before mid March.

Mine is already on a boat, floating around somewhere mid-Atlantic. This is the worst part. The wait is killing me. And, being on the west coast, it takes longer for the boat to get here.

Wanna race? I'm willing to bet mine gets here faster.
That should put an end to the 535/550 debate once and for all.
(The right coast does have its advantages)
