Well, another "i just ordered" thread for the forum, but I am ready to get this one in the garage! I had bought an x40i, then made the mistake the next day of driving a friend's new M550i. What a motor! Went back to my dealer the next day who was kind enough to take the car back with very little penalty and order me up this bad boy. I dithered over 21" vs 22", as I love the look of the 747M wheels, but decided that a little extra sidewall in New England will not be a bad thing, and I still get the staggered look. Can't wait!
