My Ride: #1: 2004 545i; 6-speed manual; Sport Package; Mystic Blue with a gray leather interior and Anthracite wood; CWP; Logic 7.
#2: 2010 535xi Touring; Automatic.
The M Sport package leaves me wishing somebody would steal my car or something. I love my car (delivery 3 years ago this week), but the extra 35 horsepower and that M Sport are gonna make me drive slowly past that BMW dealer again....

I think it is -- which is why it's going to be a few days more than expected. They're sending it to a BMW certified shop that is authorized to do the work on the aluminum parts, etc. I can't say for sure if theyre going to replace or repair it yet. At this point, I'm leasing for three years -- as long as it looks perfect when they give it to me, I'll be fine...

First the wait for my car... now the wait for your car.... it's killing me! 
I think I am more excited about receiveing this car than I was waitng for my first BMW, an e46 330i 6 years ago. I don't remember it being this hard a wait.
Your pictures drive home the feeling that I made the right decison regarding going with Alpine White.... well.... your pictures and this:
Looking forward to the Sport Auto review as well. Good luck with the hood, I am sure the results will be perfect.

Hey Rudy - Is that you in the side mirror??? 
Don't know what you're seeing but if you look closely, all you see is a reflection of the wood trim on the dash and the top of the gear selector...
