Given your history, until you are have the key fob in your hands I would be looking both ways before crossing the street and staying away from spicy food. It’s hard to believe you are just a few short hours away from inundating us with awesome photos of your baby. Can’t wait to see them!

No worries on the spicy food, we don't like each other. I agree and will be taking it slow. I'm still in shock.

I will take a few photos at pick-up. I will take more when I get it back from ceramic, tinting, and possibly PPF.

Thanks for the support from all. I hope my bitching over the past couple of months made you all laugh a little.

We laughed out of sheer disbelieve. Like.. no way this could honestly be happening.

Please collect your Doctorates diploma in Patience at the door and enjoy your ride!

Thanks, waiting for Saturday to drop it off. The 40 mile drive home from the dealership was tense, to say the least. Everything went fine. I will post some pics tonight.

Even with the painters tape on the car it was stressful getting mine home, and now with the PPF I still get a little stressed in heavy highway traffic. Trucks tend to throw up a lot of junk or leave it on the road. I’m also parking a lot further out in parking lots.

It's still a little surreal. I've waited this long and it still seems unbelievable to have it.

My plan to keep it in the garage the rest of this week just went awry. The bike battery died.

Thanks brother.

The paint job is darker in person than in photos or online. I really like it. It reminds me of a satin finish of mineral grey metallic. As far as worth it goes, I need to get past the break-in period to truly appreciate the power. So far, the dimensions are not too far off from the M235 I had so I can zip in and out of traffic with confidence.

Funny thing, coming home from work with the top down; 7 people complimented me on the car while waiting at lights. 5 of them didn't know what it was.

Still have yet to see another on the road. I got a grey unicorn.

Certainly is a head turner. Not alot of people know the G29 even exists and I like it that way. I've had a few folks compliment me as well. One time... while I was when my son had set off the car alarm and I didn't realize I had to go on the passenger side to unlock the car.. won't even let me do it with the fob. lol. Lesson learned.

Thumbs up

Congrats, LONG time coming! Beautiful ride.

Does it have a name? Our Z4 is "Duke". Our X5 is "Miss Daisy" as in the movie "Driving Ms. Daisy"....a classic in case you haven't seen it.

Just a thought about tinting. Being the front windows are so small I decided it's not necessary. But I did tint the fronts on Ms. Daisy (our X5) with Madico Black Pearl. Love it. Ceramic is the only way to go. https://madico.com/automotive/window...l-nano-ceramic

BTW what is the seat material? Do I see a suede insert each side of the head rests?

Enjoy your new toy and good luck with the coverings.

Thank you. The seats are leather with an alcantara headrest area with contrast blue stiching all over including the dash. The interior is one of the best I have ever seen. Everything flows.

Thanks sir. I like the pic that contrasts the G29 with the 1980 C3 in the background with those side pipes. Boys and their toys.

Wow!

Edited my post with a comment about a really great tint. Cost $172 including tax for the fronts.
