This is my first BMW, too. I LOVE this car. I've had it since April and still can't wait to get in it every morning. I've never had a car like that before.

Congrats!

I know very well the feeling : wait is killing you.

I experienced twice in 2004 first waiting (90 days) for feb04 530d then (40 days) for dec04 535d.
Be sure: waiting is worth the candle

I seriously considered the ED option, it should be a great trip. I'll have to do ED on my next one.

What is the difference between NASCA leather and DAKOTA, and how do you order it?

Nasca leather is a special order option that is required to get ventilated seats, it is a Priority One option which adds about $3k to the price because you have to order Comfort Seats, Nasca Leather and Ventilated seats. I am 6'6" and didn't want the sport seats anyway, plus with black leather and hot summers I wanted the ventilated seats to avoid back sweat, especially when wearing a suit.

Your dealer should be aware of how to order it, although it seems like many of us know more then the sales guys.
