Nothing here. Hasn't updated on Vesselfinder.com since June 20. So I am going with "somewhere west of where it was 2 days ago."

Oh, but I did by an accessory for it this morning. Will be the first thing I install when I have the car.

Notice he's keeping it a secret, too.

Hey, EHans.... I've bought a couple of small accessories for mine, too. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

I am picking up my car on Wednesday. I was nervous, I saw my car with the vin on mini.s inventory. I thought they were going to end up selling it to someone else. Apparently my MA and other posts say that is normal. Thank god

Holy crap, I think I would have had a minor stroke. I know I would have been on the phone within a millisecond.

I thought they made a mistake. I already paid for the car so I was angry, I am not going to wait again. I looked on some BMW posts and this seems to happen

Like I tell my son.... I didn't work my way through college while serving in the Air Force and raising him as a single parent just so I could die with a lot of money.

I would have it installed but that is just me. I had a body shop install an "S" spoiler on my R50 a few months back... it was $115 and that included repainting it.
