Welcome - very nice!

That's the new hyper blue, right? It looks great. Every time I see a color like that, I have second thoughts about my choice of PW/B. Then the next time I see my car, I forget all about it and enjoy myself!

Before you head out to the autobahn, remember - 4500rpm max for the first 1200 miles!

Thanks for sharing, and many thanks for serving!

Looks great man! Thanks for the pics; it's the first pic of exactly what my interior will look like (sans the H/K)! Could you maybe take some more pics of the center of the dash area? I'd really like to see closer up how the nav screen will look alongside the HB dash.


Thanks and congrats!!

Looks GREAT! Thanks! Didn't expect such service that late at night. When I saw an email come in saying there was a reply to this post I thought, "Certainly it can't be him, it's 3am there." Guess I was wrong, hehe.

Thanks for the pictures - that spec is almost identical to my MCS that's waiting for a boat at the port. I had the white s-lites on my 2003 DS/W MCS and got them again on my 2005. They're a pain to keep clean, but boy, do they look good on the car. Congratulations and yes, I am extremely envious of your good luck having taken delivery.

Excellent!

You just convinced me to change my 2005 order to HB-white from EB-white! What is your interior material?

Cheers
Dave

Does the nav work there? What about when you bring it home?


If you are in the picture mood I'd love to see closeups of the nav antenna and more on the body color dash.

And thank you for serving and protecting the USA!

Awesome!

My week 34 MCS wis going to be HB/W also with everything you have except I did the blue/black seats (figured what the heck).

I was a bit worried about the color combo but this calmed my fears and now I'm totally stoked!

Thanks,
Patrick

I have all of Europe DVD on my Nav System. When I come back to the states in a few years I will have to get the US DVD put in. The Nav System is going to be a God send for my plans to see Europe.

MINIBeast,

Did you for some reason order the tape deck instead of the CD? I'm comparing the head unit in your pictures to the one of the 05's shown on MotoringFile.com and they look the same except that yours appears to have a tape deck instead. Is that right, and if so what made you choose that?

Thanks. Enjoy that car.

-mike
