I'm not a "offical" BMW owner yet, I'm taking delviery in Munich on May 11. I've read the threads on Euorpean delivery and am really looking forward to the experience. I'm going to be in Europe for over three weeks so I'll get past the break-in 1200 miles and be able to test in out on the Autobahn. I'm also looking foward to being part of this Forum, I been reading it for the past couple of weeks and have learned about many BMW eccentricities, I guess that makes them more endearing.
