Like! Got a similar package. I wanted the blue but couldn't wait... Luckily the red was in stock. Took it for a long 8 hour ride from Texas to Mississippi. Love the sport car button, I was really able to clear traffic. Got it to 120 mph at one point.

Got my baby back a couple weeks ago. Total repair time was 6 months and 1 week. BMW took as long as 4 months to deliver some parts.

Here she is after a nice warm bubble bath yesterday:

Enjoy her! And I am sure you will be very careful now!

All the best! I could never have survived those 6 months, would have freaked out....

Congrats Yocal!

Got mine back after 3 weeks to replace a module that wasn't powering off correctly and draining the battery.

Heres a pic of My X4 M after getting it back from the dealer after 3 weeks of being out of commission while waiting for the a module to be replaced. Driving a base 325i loaner for 3 weeks was way no bueno. Glad to have her back!

BavariaExclusive: I wrote a check for 75% of the purchase price on the day I picked it up and am paying off the remaining 25% over 2 years (BMWFS). You do the math.

Yocal, your X4 looks really great ! I love melbourne red. I just got mine X3 delivered last friday. But I am wondering how to keep the car clean, and to keep it without little scratches in the red paint.
Do you ever have it washed in a Carwash with brushes ? Or is that a no go ?

Here is mine (I know, it's no X4....).

Melbourne red or carbon black: I would avoid mechanical washing .... High pressure water hose, your hands and good products washing, that does it for me.....

If you google around you'll find some proper guidelines on what to do or not.....

lol Endre2, I've ended up scratching the paint job each time I've washed the car. At this rate, I'm gonna have to get it re-sprayed in a couple years.

I put a little too much muscle trying to remove stuck-on tar with my microfiber washing mitt the first time around, leaving swirl marks. The second time I thought I would just gently remove tar using my fingernails, but again ended up scratching (what I hope is only) the clear coat. Now I've purchased some BMW Tar Remover and will give that a try next time.

I would honestly love to get the whole car covered in a clear bra, but it's prohibitively expensive and doesn't seem to last long enough.

Assuming you're not having much luck either with the Melbourne Red?

Alright cool guy. I guess that question didn't apply to you.

On the 2nd day I had my x4 home, my 2 boys (4 and 2) decided to creat some new artwork for daddy's new car's passenger door. only they used a rock for a crayon and the nice red paint job for their paper. dealer was able to buff out most of the marks but 3 scratches were too deep. will have it painted sometime in the future. Swirl markd do not bother me anymore.
