Goodbye SUV...hello 535xi! Great forum here with tons of great info- real active group. I thought about A6, 350, RL, GS, etc. but I was only fooling myself to say I did the diligence. When you step up, go with the Ultimate. Test drive was unreal, the steering whell, the on ramps, the feeling of control... the acceleration- better than the rest. Ordered 4/15, Completed production 4/30, Left Bremerhaven 5/9, Leaves Southampton, UK tonight, Due in NJ at VDC 5/23. Should be in it before end of month- yeah!

Ahhh, I remember that wait, exciting and excruciating at the same time. What did make it a little easier for me was the fact that I still had my first 535xi which BMW bought back. But I tell you I counted the days and could not wait.....I feel your pain and with that I congratulate you on the purchase. Enjoy and welcome-to bad you won't receive it by june 14th when we have our meet and great in Long Island...
