Delivered!!!!!!!

Well...

Finally my turn. I got the car on Sat morning. I went directly from the dealer to "joyride's" place (detailer that participates on the forum) to get it detailed. I asked the CA not to clean the car so it was pretty swirl free.

Most thing were already mentioned, but I would like to give a couple of opinions...

- MT: I do really disagree with the fact that it's not a good gearbox. It does have the problem of having a short not symmetric clutch and may be jurky when engaging the first gear, but I barely have 120 miles on the car and it's improving mile by mile.

- Sound system: After I received the car, it was the first time I heard it. I have always gone aftermarket for audio but was hoping that the enhanced premium audio was going to be enough.... well, I was a little bit disappointed in the sense that it should be MUCH better... I will keep the same system because of all the integration with car (and this is something very important), but BMW need to improve their sound system.
For those of you that are in doubt if getting or not getting the premium sound... GET IT. The base system must sound horrible.

The rest is just magic.... I loved the interior and the whole feel of the car.

Painted reflectors are on its way and probably will also change the Angel eyes... but to tell you the truth they are just details.... Can't wait to rev it all the way to 8K!!!

Thank you all.... This forum has really helped.
I just received the evosport painted reflectors and they look so much better than the orange ones. (Thank's greg for the tip).

What I would like to add regarding to the sound system: I need to be fair and give a complete opinion after a coupl of months, when the speakers "accommodate". That's when it should be judged.
