LMAO! I was going to make a comment about helping out since you were neglecting your wife, but, well, my sense of humor gets overlooked sometimes and offends people, so I didn't.

By the way Jeff.....my car was delivered to the dealer on Tuesday morning this week, and it was ready for collection by 5.30 pm. How come you are having to wait so long??

In the US we have 3 options for delivery.
Dealer delivery:
Pick it up where you bought it
European delivery:
Trip to Germany to drive the car & then have it shipped home
Performance Center Delivery:
Delivery at a special center in the S.E. United States where you get to drive on a BMW owned race course in a car similar to that which you purchased, and other BMW lines as well. They take you through all of the features of the car, and what it can REALLY do, and you get to do some of it on a track.
After that, you get your car, and a specialist who will spend however long you need/want to personally set up your car with you. Then you drive it back home (which for me is about 825 miles). They also have tours of the BMW plant that is there, etc.
We opted for the PDC (or PCD, however you choose), as it was highly recommended from others and a nice chance to get away and experience a nice drive in the new car (home through the mountains).
At the time we ordered it, I didn't realize it would add to the wait, and if I would have chosen the dealer pickup we would have gotten it yesterday or today, but this is something we wanted to do so it's not that bad I guess...
Here's the online info on the PDC:

Since it was "free", I figured what the hell...
