Collecting my 1M tomorrow (Saturday)

ChrisBuer · 10-21-2011, 03:49 AM

My collection day is almost here

I spoke to my dealer earlier today and will be collecting my very own 1M tomorrow morning!! After nearly 5 months since I ordered it, I'm 24 hours away from driving it.....

The dealership itself is literally a 5 minute drive from my house, just around the corner. Knowing that my car is there right now having it's PDI is a great feeling and I have a lot of driving planned over the next week as I've booked the entire week off work

So, my immediate plans are:

1.) Collect the car

2.) Drive Drive DRIVE!!!

3.) At some stage on Saturday fit my LUX Angel Eyes

4.) Sunday - Meeting up with Jezzer to try out his custom made mats in my car.

5.) Next week - DRIVE!!!!

Whoo hooo!!

(Pictures will be added tomorrow

Hey Chris; I pick mine up tomorrow too! Ordered in may, so similar wait. Sleeping tonight will be a challenge. Will post some pics here too, when I can bring myself to stop driving. Have a great day tomorrow bro

iDave · 10-21-2011, 04:50 AM

How are you going to sleep tonight !

Congrats !

Have you not been over to see it yet? Very restrained of you if not!

Artemis · 10-21-2011, 05:48 AM

Enjoy !

b33g33 · 10-21-2011, 05:49 AM

Congrats Chris. Aren't you glad you hung in there?

Congrats!! I picked mine up yesterday, I had a very early flight out to the dealer and for the first time I was not rushing to the airport because I couldn't sleep either. It's been a long wait, I knew within the first 5 minutes that it was well worth it!

david.orr · 10-21-2011, 08:54 AM

Congrats guys! I'm most envious, 6months to go.

DavidMc · 10-21-2011, 09:47 AM

Congrats! But you guys are killing me. My production was complete Oct. 4 and I'm still not on a boat. E expected a week or two, but 17 days and counting is making me crazy! So jealous of all of you with 1M's in hand. Can't wait to join you.

evolution80 · 10-21-2011, 10:17 AM

congrats!

somehow i miss: apply swizol glacier - on your schedule

but then again - have your run-in service next week

i dont know if it is a placebo effect but somehow i feel the car builds up speed much faster since the run in service

I LOVE hearing things like this because i know exactly how everyone feels. At one point I got really close to taking a hefty dose of tylenol PM to put me out. I ended up getting about 2 hours of sleep with all the constant waking up to see what time it was. CONGRATS!

:happy anim:

mikewills · 10-21-2011, 10:35 AM

Congrats Chris!

Mahlzeit · 10-21-2011, 12:11 PM

Congrats!

And, keep the shiny side up! You'll find the car is plenty fast below 5500rpm to get some jollys. But when you start getting familiar w/ the car you'll need to exercise some self control.

npg · 10-21-2011, 12:30 PM

Hope you have a great day tomorrow and enjoy (mine went to 9610 on thurs so hopefully not long before I get mine) look forward to seeing some pics.

Shost · 10-21-2011, 12:38 PM

Do you live in Chelmer Village Chris? Lived there for a year there a few years ago. Used to go past Coopers on the way to work and think one day etc. In fact had first look at the 1 coupe there when it first came out in 2007/2008. Was doing man math on a 120d back then but couldn't justify it.

Enjoy, should be a nice weekend to pick it up!

Aussie_in_London · 10-21-2011, 01:09 PM

Congrats mate

will find out what is the score with ours when we return as we are currently driving across the US and just about to get into LA, not due back until the 31st so no doubt ours is sitting waiting.

SIM1er · 10-21-2011, 02:08 PM

Enjoy it tomorrow Chris, then get it run in asap. I'm convinced mine received a 'stupidly fast' update at the running in service

Jezzer · 10-21-2011, 02:50 PM

Good Luck tomorrow Chris, bet you cant wait. Will be thinking about you at 9.15am, I'm looking forward to seeing you and your 1M on Sunday. Are you going to take me for a spin in it? Hope so!!

For all the work you went thru with the RHD mats, I would let you drive my 1M.
