aaaaaah freaking out!

Nikki · 10-12-2005, 09:15 AM

I just got an email from my dealer saying that my car is in and everything will be installed today.
He said to come down there ASAP!

I'm so excited! Hopefully I will be able to pick it up today,
and I will have pictures this evening!
I made another thread before but it was lost,
I just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing anything.

I told him the following:

No front plate, or holes drilled.
35% tint, no windshield strip.
No dealer logos, decals, stickers, etc.
Rear deck spoiler
No mudflaps
Polished BMW stainless rear license plate frame-silver Miniature model
car-Arctic 330i 1/43 scale

Any suggestions and advice please!

afocoryw20 · 10-12-2005, 09:44 AM

Good luck nikki, try to behave on the drive home.

scottz5 · 10-12-2005, 10:32 AM

Good luck and congrads!

Nikki · 10-13-2005, 08:58 AM

I'm going to pick up today,
I couldn't yesterday because they were painting the spoiler.
I won't be able to post pictures until Sunday though
because I have to go see my mom in Orlando this weekend.

I can't even drive my car,
it's just going to sit here until Sunday.

Poor Estella.

Congratulation !!!!!

chrissal1 · 10-13-2005, 01:08 PM

Let us know how the delivery went...good luck

Great news that everyone is getting their car off the Franconia. Congrats! Even better news would be if I was getting my car on the 15th. Still at VPC.

CALIF65GM · 10-13-2005, 09:47 PM

Nikki: Did you get it yet? Get it yet? Get it yet?

Why in the world would you name it Estella?

I am sorry but Estella is not a name for a BMW. Estella sounds like more like a Geo Metro or Suzuki.

mds82 · 10-13-2005, 09:49 PM

Congrats Nikki - I just got 35% 's done on my car today as well. Photo's comming as soon as it stops raining here!!!

mds82 · 10-13-2005, 09:53 PM

fdc · 10-14-2005, 01:07 AM

Please post pictures when you can,

This is an italian expression: Povera Stella ....
I think Nikki is right a new 3 is a "stella"

Nikki · 10-16-2005, 09:46 PM

The car came in, everything is great!
I made a thread with some pictures in the general section.
I named her Estella because I think it is a pretty name,
and I am taking Italian right now,
"Stella" means "star" in Italian,
and her full name is (E)stella Luminosa,
which means "Shining Star" in Italian.

OK thanks for the Italian lesson.

I saw the other thread after I posted here, so I felt kind of stupid.

I know, and that's why I put the E in parenthesis.
