What are your color and option selections?

Sorry folks, I haven't logged in for a couple days. I'm tentatively scheduled to pick up my new 35is at the dealer on Saturday (it was loaded on a truck heading for Chicago on Monday). I plan to post pics and have promised folks on Bimmerfest too. Here's the rundown of the options I ordered:

2011 Z4 sDrive35is
Melbourne Red Metallic
Extended leather trim Kansas walnut (with aluminum carbo trim)
ZCW (Cold Weather Package)
ZPP (Premium Package)
ZPS (Premium Sound Package)
302 (Anti-theft alarm system)
322 (Comfort Access keyless entry)
508 (Park Distance Control)
609 (Navigation system)

I kept the 35is 18" rims. I didn't opt for smartphone integration, 6 disk CD changer (satellite radio is now standard with ZPS instead of CD changer), or high-beam assist.

Saturday can't get here fast enough!

Well you did ask

I took delivery of my Melbourne Red Metallic/Walnut leather 35is today. I posted some pics over at Bimmerfest, available here: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=454158 These were just from when I was at the dealer, so I promise to post some better ones in the next day or so. For now, though, I have to go enjoy my new baby!

thanks for the pictures of both amazing cars - hurry up and break them in so you can hit the ludicrous speed button

I have been trying to post some more pics, but I keep getting an error message ("Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.")

In any event, I did post some updated pics over at Bimmerfest, available here (towards the bottom, past my preliminary pics): http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=454158

I'm absolutely loving the car. I'm trying very, very hard to follow the proper break-in recommendations!
