Everyone is different and the internet does not allow one to always gauge how things are meant or received so wanted to check! Agree, for the sake of world peace we'll have to maintain good ties

Heh, I imagine that they are called 'black' and 'blue' and the two workers are not allowed to work or meet at the same time or they'll be all black and blue
Likely they just overspray in the paint booth by accident
and then go 'well I'll be damned, look at that Hans...wouldn't that be a good new shade of unobtainium black? To which Hans says 'Ja, let Mr. Individual try to replicate that! Let's tell the Englanders first and then someone will order it so Mr. Individual has to do it!'

He'd been talking about changing his car, maybe an M2 but for quite a long time. However just took seeing that one in person and he was sold instantly.

Heh, note to self: accept no incoming texts or PM's from FLJB when he is at the BMW dealer, could be very detrimental to bank balance!

They apparently don't do the 7 day free BMW insurance anymore either which is a shame. I was hoping to use that to then see if it fits nicely in the garage before getting something arranged myself. Now I'll likely have to insure it as parked on the driveway just incase and change it up afterwards if it does go in.

One side of me would love for the updates to be that it is at the dealer...I can see you camped out at the dealer watching the car and movements like a hawk in those two weeks off! Enjoy the break, hope the weather is decent for you lot up North!
Wasn't aware that they stopped the free insurance, didn't need it myself but can see the logic and usefulness of it in your situation as the insurance will want to charge some silly admin fee to change it and you only need a check...just a thought...did you consider 'test driving' the 760 again from your dealer and then using the remote parking to see if it will go in up to the wing mirrors? Then you'd know and could get the right policy from the start and save the hassle? You'd need to be careful but to be honest the sensors will stop it before it would hit anything likely anyway and you'd be able to tell if it will go in remotely or not...Given the wait, surely your dealer would let you have it for an hour to check that?

Excellent...looking forward to them, anything to help stoke the anticipation fire for FastLaneJB...
By the way: nice light carpet tyzer! Is that a new feature on the 7?
