European Delivery Trip 2012 550i M-Sport
Had a great day at BMW Welt. Here is the car. Thanks for all those who shared advice to help get the specs right and who encouraged me to consider European Delivery.

Very handsome. But apart from that disembodied hand caressing the washer fluid cap, this delivery seems to have been accomplished without human intervention. C'mon - we want to see that sloppy grin!

Are you talking about the first picture that shows Stealth.Pilot wearing a red, white, and dark blue/black jacket that says "United States Racing Team" with a logo of a polo pony, and khaki slacks, and his (presumably) SO wearing a black and white striped top with a black sweater/jacket, pink scarf, and jeans, both standing next to their new car? Yeah, I can't see that either!

I was reorganizing the photos in Flickr and deleted the duplicates. The link is fixed and the photo back up now.
I wore the United States Racing Team jacket to scare Ericka. I had bought it the day before the trip and stashed it at the bottom of my suitcase. I put it on that morning, but quickly put a leather jacket over it so she couldn't see it. Then when we checked in at the Welt I unveiled the racing jacket. She couldn't believe it and thought it was hilarious.
