Yes, she probably is ...

... that would be cool.

*smile* ... it's important she comes into the world feeling loved!

She's the De-Badged Alpine White N57Z M Sport ... I mean, how many can there be!

The US peeps have many more things we don't get over the pond ...

The US site is quite good ... has nice PDF user manual, video guides, online tracking, video of your car being made ...

... it's a shame we can't get the PDF for the UK versions.

We get ... delivery ... eventually!

Oh yes and the N57Z ...

Six N57Z M-Sports?

Better wave to all three just to be safe ...

... is there one who's spec stands out?

Well took delivery yesterday - Ordered on 2nd March.

I think it was here last week but the dealer has been setting up a new preperation suite. Still it was a week early so very pleased.

Once my status has changed to 9000 I will make it my mission ...

... currently trying to get some sort of "sensible" explanation for the disparity of intervals between US and EU orders for build date.

Bound to make me popular ... NOT!

... but it has to be done.

Congrats!

... they do look nice in AW

In fact they look nice in almost every colour!

Wish you well with her/him/it.

They are probably a twenty minute walk from where I'm at. I'm looking at the parking lot matrix.

I am sure that health and safety directives recommend a brisk walk every now and again ...

Is it sunny?

Desmoduece · 05-02-2012, 03:29 AM

Nope, it's 4 in the morning.

Desmoduece · 05-02-2012, 03:30 AM

It's a 20 minute walk from my car to the time clock...

24 hours a day ... that explains why your there at this god unearthly hour ...

But thanks, you have really brigtened up my day.

It feels so much more "connected"

... please don't break the illusion ;-)

You should visit here, take the tour, and do all the performance center activities.

You know what ... I may well do that!

Originally I thought it was just to take delivery, but I have read that actually there are more people who do the PCD that aren't buying a BMW than are actually doing it to take delivery ...

Just had my holiday so it may be some time though ...

Desmoduece · 05-02-2012, 04:23 AM

Not only BMW but South Carolina has everything in a few hours drive. Mountains, beach, large lakes, and a waterfall in downtown Greenville. That's why I moved here in the first place.

Sounds lovely ...

... of course a short drive to you guys is an epic adventure to us!
