Big Day Tomorrow!

I pick up my new ride tomorrow - can't wait! I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight!

I'll post some pics and comments tomorrow, that is, if I get out from behind the wheel long enough to log on to a computer.

Congrats! I ordered the same exact car, except with the Steptronic. Would love to see some pics!

My digital camera is coming with me for pick-up to document anything that may need documenting (scratches, etc), so I'll get some pics up ASAP. I'll be posting them under the Media/Video/Pics section.

When did you order and when do you expect to take delivery? I ordered March 23rd, and was lucky that Halifax is the first stop on the shipping route from Germany (for the east coast anyway).

Hawkshaw:

I ordered near the end of April, Production was completed the first week of May and my car was loaded on a ship around the 18th. I'm expecting it to be at the dealership around mid-June. Long wait!

Guys, I know how you all feel - the wait is soooo painful! But trust me, the day does come when you get to drive off the lot in your new e90, and for me, that day was yesterday!!!

It was raining yesterday so I didn't take any pics, but it's nice and sunny today so I'll try to take some and post tonight. Believe me guys, it's absolutely worth the wait! It only had 15km on it when I picked it up, and I'm respecting the break-in period, so I haven't really let 'er rip yet. However, the handling is mindboggling, the transmission is silky smooth, and the cabin is unbelieveably quiet. I had to crack the windows a little (even in the rain!) so I could hear her purrrr.

Called the dealership and ordered some rubber mats already though - the carpeted ones pick up dirt, dust, and grass so quickly that it's going to drive me crazy! I was also having some trouble with the voice commands, it seemed to never do what I was asking. I'm sure I'm probably just talking too quickly or not clearly enough, I'll figure it out.

Bluetooth phone is super-neat, and as you can imagine, I called a lot of people last night. Once I got my phone paired with my car, my phone book automatically showed up in my iDrive so I could just scroll and click to make calls. Talk in to the air, and listen through the stereo speakers - too cool!

Congratulations on the new car. You ordered almost the same options as mine.

It's worth the wait unxdawg, you'll love it! In the mean time, since we have almost exactly the same set up and options, if there are any specific detailed pics you're interested in, let me know and I'll try to capture them for ya (assuming, of course, you can't find them elsewhere on this board).

Hey man, I appreciate that. Any other pics interior or exterior pics you happen to take will be great material for me to stare at for the next 3 weeks!!

I think TiAg/Black/Aluminum is such an amazing combo, although I've only seen it in pics and never in person. Enjoy your car!
