Picked her up this morning!! Love the car. I keep walking in and out of the garage to make sure its still there... can't believe my eyes HAHA. 
Not everything went so smooth though. They damaged the car with the bad weather we had in FL yesterday. They were taking off the white plastic that was on it from the factory, and while they were heating up the huge fan that enables them to smoothly peel the plastic off, a huge gust of wind picked up that fan and it landed on the hood, so there are small 2 dents on it now (hardly visible- but they still bother me!!).
I have to bring it back to them on Tuesday for them to fix it or maybe get a new hood for it because it's in a bad spot that may not be fixed to perfection.
It definitely needs some wheels, 5% tint, blackout grill, lip spoiler, and possibly a roof spoiler also to complete the clean & classy look.
Attached are a few pics. I'll post some better ones soon when I give her a bath and some tint!
I couldn't be any happier!

Nice car. I would insist to have a new already painted hood come from germany or at least V.P.C. The hood is too fragile of an area (very prone to rock chips) to have the dealer re-spray. You bought it brand new, it should be brand new. Dont let the excitement of having this car, keep you from making the right decsion. Good Luck and have fun with her

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
Zack, Good luck: I picked up a brand new 320 years ago, at noontime and ran into a huge hailstorm at 12:30. It was dimpled EVERYWHERE. Insurance and dealer's good body shop took care of all.
And yes, get some more interesting (read: non-MC) plates...tee hee.
