The wait is killing me! I guess I should have just taken one off the dealers lot. The problem with that would have been that everything in the area came with the auto tranny plus I didn't want all the gadgets and gizmos that most dealers order. I ordered my 228i with the M sport package, manual tranny, estoril blue with track and performance package. For the first time in my life I wish time would fly by a little faster.

I'm estimating at least 2 months from now to get to California. I have no idea how long it takes for sure but I figure I won't be dissapointed this way. Does anyone know what the typical time is getting to the California Port? Also I'm assuming it will be in port longer than normal since I'm having the LSD and other MP parts installed. Eventually I'll have it..... I'm more patient than most. Part of being a middle aged guy. Gotten use to waiting for the finer things at this point in my life.
