I couldn't stand it and went down to the dealership today and actually saw my car, "Fulburt", unloaded off the transport truck. Man is he a beauty.

It was unloaded with 4 other 740I beemers. I went down the street and saw my MA and he said he would get it checked in as soon as possible. I am having the Invisishield and mud flaps installed on the car.

Good news he called and said Thursday at 1 pm is delivery time.

I'll post up some pics when I get the chance .

Word of caution: any of you who had the driving lamps installed at the port, check them out for tightness. I found ours to be loose and one of the bolts was missing (probably vibrated out). Anything done at the factory looks to be ok.

 

Ihoboy--Mine are tight, but one is angled out to the side, so I'll have to adjust it.

Pat--so glad yours made it okay!

I've already put about 450 miles on mine!

Way to go Jerry. You'll be past the breakin mileage before you know it.
I can't wait until Thursday. My wife is bringing me to the dealership in her MINI. We'll finally get the two MINI's together for a camera shot at the dealership. I can hardly beleive it. She already has 2500 miles on her car.

The only problem so far are the foglamps getting moisture in them. Repaired under warranty.

I hope my car is troublefree as well.

Looking forward to your dueling MINIs, Pat. It's been a long time coming for you and Fulbert!

 

Here is the newest addition. The car is great. 11 miles when delivered. I only have 22 on it so far. I am detailing it and getting a good coat of wax on it before any real motoring.

I really like and it looks cool along side Dotty. When I get a chance I will post up some pictures of both cars.

My wife and I with Fulburt. It was a hoot driving 2 MINI's home.




This is Fulburt

HOLD ON THE WAX!! Wait 30 days for the paint to fully cure. I know the paint has been oven baked, but there are still volatiles that need to leach out.

Ihoboy.... 30 days after production... not delivery... =) We already waited long enough

Pat, Fulburt looks great!! Congrats!

 

Thanks everyone.

The car was completed January 29th so I think I have the obligitory 30 days out of the way since the car was built. Even though the car is new I clayed and I have already put two coats of Epic on the car and finished it with some Banana Gloss.

I also washed it the other day and used some of the Hydro on it and boy does it look gooooood. Those products work well.

I found a couple of imperfections in the paint but used some mild polish and my random orbit and took them right out. No swirls in the car at all. I only handwash so the paint should look good for quite sometime.

Unfortunatly I caught some kick butt cold and feel real puny so Fulburt is going to stay put in the garage for a few days. (Only 110 miles so far.)

Figures!!

But I am happy so far not one problem with the car all looks well.

Regards,

Pat

 

Never mind!

 

Hi Pat!

Fulbert looks great, that was my second color combo, but here in Vegas, I decided that the lighter colors would work better for me. All the BMW people use Zaino (spelling?) for their wax.

 

At last Pat, congrats it looks great

 

Hope everyone is loving their new additon(s) as much as I am, and that you're happy motoring!
