Sounds like a beauty, but is it me or is it delivered really fast?
Was it already planned in for production or something?

Back to the future ... was it delivered before you ordered it ?? Or is it Euro date format meaning December 3rd 2010 ... I get that confused all the time.

That's UK standard. ISO standard (used by three countries in the world!) is 2010-12-03. Most used in the EU is 03.12.2010

Either way you'd like the date to look, very annoyingly it's been put back to the 22.12.10, I'm not sure if I can wait!!

As this will be my first BMW, should I look out for anything? I've heard something about a comm pack, but being a but thick I'm not quite sure what that is?!?

Yup, empty, curvy roads!

I believe the communications pack is one of the predecessors of the Media pack you've got. Maybe some of the UK drivers can chime in here?

One last thing: be sure to have it delivered with winter tires!

No word yet, but real concern the snow might effect delivery, let's hope there is no snow in Thorne!
