We know how it feels, but it's well worth the wait.

That's awesome! Congrats! Can't wait to see the pix. Are you having trouble sleeping at night? Is the wait just killing you? We know how it feels, but it's well worth the wait.
We know how it feels, but it's well worth the wait.Thanks, will post as soon as she arrives, YES, YES
and I'm sure it will be I just went through this last May with my Shelby GT500 and I have got to stop ordering cars so close to each other....gonna have a permanent case of anxiety soon 
I do already have my SprintBooster and the Euro rear reflectors (which it turns out I may not need after all)...been trying to fill the time "bench modding"...but that only takes you so far...kind of hard to wax the SprintBooser for the 10th time

Found out today that my 535xi is on the ship as of Oct 18 with "expected" arrival in Halifax, NS set for Oct 30. Then, it's rail right across the country to Vancouver, and trucked up here. My SA figures delivery by end of November, even factoring possible delays (such as being in the wrong place on the ship and offloaded last).
