Finally…my Blue Is Here!

Ordered Feb 28th.
Watched the schedule on BWM.com daily.
Tracked the ship as it slowly played across the ocean.
Read the pdf manual several times

Now it is home!

EB/Black, Technology, Premium, Driver Assist, Driver Assist +, Alarm, Cold Weather, HK, Auto, M Performance Exhaust.

Very fun to drive though it's going to be a long 1200 miles before I can really burp this baby. I'll busy myself getting all the tech stuff dialed in.

One thing I did NOT know from reading all the posts here…the lane departure button and one of the other driving assist buttons (don't remember which now) both occupy the space taken by the driver side glove box. That little storage slot next to the driver's knee is now gone. :-(

Going to have to put my storage needs on a diet even more now with this storage pocket missing. I will say…I'm pretty tall and can easily reach into the back seat. That french fry tray built into the back seat may be fine for throwing small non-valuables into (tire pressure gauge, phone adaptor, etc.)

There's lots of pics already and these aren't great, but the light was kinda cool and the blue took on a nice color so I threw up some pics here.

Looking very forward to my long drive on backroads of wine country this weekend with the wife...

Tell me about it. Waited 3 weeks to hear it went into production today.
I'm hoping to see the car early June or sometime in June.

Yup. M Performance Exhaust + tips. Sounds really good. Beefy but not obnoxious. May try and post sound clip later. Was concerned it might be too loud before I heard it but it's not. I've heard others say the sound changes a bit as it breaks in as well. Trying to keep the revs below 4k is killing me but can't wait to hear what it sounds like when I can really open her up.

Agreed. I keep looking and looking and have yet to see any. Probably a whole wave of them will hit this summer.

Yeah, from the sound of it they are all going to come in at once I am guessing. I hope I don't get sick of seeing them everywhere before I get mine!

Ironically, I saw another EB on my drive home today. My 1st 2 series sighting in So Cal. The dude was going a different route but we both were surprised to see each other and gave each other big thumbs ups.

i'm usually all over west la/ beverly hills/ studio city so quite suprised. My friend also has a blue m235 in rowland heights. I've already seen 4-5 228 on the road but not any m235.
