I am starting this thread as a count down. Talked to the dealer on Tuesday this week and he said that I may get my E61 tomorrow Friday afternoon, or worst case, Monday afternoon.

I will keep you updated and post some pictures when I get the car. This wait is torture by the way.

Sad call from my dealer. :thumbsdown: He has my car but it's not ready until Monday afternoon. Good thing that I have taken Tuesday off due to me and my wifes anniversary, and Wednesday is the national holiday in Sweden. Two full days to drive the car.

This monday seems to be a nice day for delivering cars in Sweden.
Hope my dealer thinks the same.
I?ve been waiting for a couple of days now and still no sign of it

Hope you have a good anniversary. Suspect you?ll be spending it with the new familymember

Don?t forget to post some pics of the "newborn"

Ti

Ps.(Who knows, perhaps I?ll beat you at the finishline)

YES! Took delivery of the car this afternoon. 12 weeks of waiting is over. The Deep Sea Blue is a really beautiful colour if you are into darker colours. The sun makes it brighter which looks very elegant. Looks nice with two bimmers on the drive way.

I've already driven the car about 200 km, mostly highway, and it's great. Didn't want to go above 3500 rpm or 160 km/h although the dealer said it didn't matter. I think I will follow the advice in the manual instead. Tomorrow we're going on a 400 km trip with some smaller roads.

The ipod integration is really superb. No more selecting songs on the ipod while driving as I did in the other car. And no cables that are visible.

I will post pictures as soon as possible.
