Hi Everyone!
So excited to join the BMW community, I've been lurking on here for a couple months reading as much as I can as my car is being built.
It's my first BMW (and first new car) so I'm here for some advice and input!
I wanted a manual, so I had to custom order, which was awesome because I got to pick everything exactly how I wanted. Here is what I ordered:
2015 BMW M235i
Mineral White Metallic
Coral Red Dakota Leather
Drive Asst (rear view camera)
Premium Package (keyless entry, garage door opener)
Heated Seats
Auto High Beams
Harmon Kardon
Enhanced Bluetooth
Carbon Fiber Mirrors
Stainless Steel Pedals
Carbon Fiber rear spoiler

**Expected July 8-9 2015
Delivery
I couldn't find the ship the car was on, but my dealer told me July 3 it would arrive in port. I ordered from Bob Smith BMW in Calabasas and they have been great.
MODS:
It's a lease, but I do plan on doing some light mods. I could use some advice on some. So far I just got a few cosmetic things:
Replacement color matched side markers:
Order from IND Distribution
I also ordered some vinyl stickers for the emblems from Bimmian.com

ADVICE:
Roof rack? I surf and road bike. There is a BMW one that has modules for both, anyone have any experience with this? Or any other brands?
I'm also thinking about COI or muffler delete, but these are a long way off. I want to do something to beef up the sound, not sure what's best.
