It wasn't really part of a plan to wait, I just happened to drive 1200 miles before getting around to ordering the Michelins. I only had the car one week before racking up 1200 miles... the 600-mile trip home from the Performance Center certainly helped! I got home, did more research, then looked for the best price (I ended up with the Tire Rack price). I'm past 1600 miles today. Where are my tires?!?!

Yes!!! I did see and drive one of the Lemans Blue 135is cars at the PC!!! As you know, for much of the driving instruction they put you in a car like the one you will drive home. Here's a photo sitting in the driver's seat (with wife in passenger seat) doing a radio check and last-minute instructions from Andy Van Cleef before getting started, second photo the 135is we drove (just prior to our M5 demo lap). They told us there are 8 delivery slots per day at the PC, but there were only 5 the day we were there. Delivered that day was an X3, X6, X1, 750i, and our 135is.
