It is here! But I won't get it until Friday :(

benyl · 12-23-2007, 10:42 PM

So my SA put a rush on the car and it arrived at the dealership on Friday.

On Sat, we went to have a look at it and to find out when we could pick it up.

Looks like Friday, the 28th is the soonest due to the holidays.

Check out the mileage. I am not sure why I have a metric cluster displaying in miles, but I know that is an easy fix.

Small walk around video. We weren't supposed to be in the service area, but my SA knew how much I wanted to see it.

My SA has some pics with the white wrapping still on the car. I will post when they get forwarded to me.

Congratulations! You must be so excited and just so anxious to get it. I bet the wait must be killing you. But it's well worth it.

kenneth · 12-23-2007, 11:45 PM

Hey congrats dude! You will need to slap some winter tires on it! Enjoy

benyl · 12-24-2007, 12:09 AM

I have winters from the 330. I need to get some spacers for the rear though... hahaha

Johnny Lin · 12-24-2007, 12:09 AM

If your 330 winters had approx 34mm offset, then you may not need spacers?

tokion · 12-24-2007, 01:34 AM

congrats----------AW Rulez

you can change the metric back to km on your idrive screen setting/navigations.

trickydisco · 12-24-2007, 08:20 AM

Give your Dealer instructions to NOT wash the car.

sparkyg · 12-24-2007, 09:47 AM

Congrats benyl. Nice ride.

We'll see you on the roads soon!

liliej · 12-24-2007, 09:51 AM

Congrats. How did you manage to get a rush on the car, and what does that mean? Mine's heading over on a boat now, scheduled to land in California on 1/7/08.

benyl · 12-24-2007, 11:04 AM

In Canada, all cars are shipped to the port in Halifax and then transported by train.

Once in the train yard, they are transported by truck. My SA push a rush on the truck portion so that it would be one of the first to leave the rail yard.

sparkyg · 12-24-2007, 12:02 PM

It's worth the wait.

With the chinook down there you can drive the summer tires anyhow.

Another brown xmas?

benyl · 12-24-2007, 04:49 PM

yep, it is blowing hard. Very brown here right now.

OTK_KART · 01-02-2008, 02:02 PM

Benyl,

have you got your car yet? I got mine last Saturday. I drove it home so careful with the summer tire still on. I put on the winters as soon as I got home. This is what I used to drive and I will post some pic when I get a chance

benyl · 01-02-2008, 02:31 PM

I got it on Friday, the 28th. Then proceeded to scratch the bumper on a rock on Saturday morning! Less than 1 day!!!! So mad. hahahhahaha

I got the gallery to put on the winter set for my 330. They complained about it saying the offsets were wrong.

I just told that I know it looks stupid (I will get some spacers) but I am not driving home on summer tires. Truth is that summers would have been fine on Friday.

I am just waiting for a warm day to change out my front bumper reflectors with painted ones and my blacked out grills.

Good to hear benyl.

Shitty on the scratch. I had my 6MT TL for a week and left it in neutral in the garage with no E-brake and scraped the bumper on the garage door. I feel your pain
