what did you do??

itsmekevs · 03-14-2012, 03:33 PM

Right my new car is 9 days away from me and this wait is killing me.
I really dont know what to do with myself!
i think im abit anxious and nervous because i went for a 116d auto without a test drive and these forums seems to full of bhp hungry monsters with top specs and to be honest my car is a standard sportline. well hopefully i aint got nothing much to worry about and i wont feel let down.

anyway what i was goinna ask was.....
did any of you prepare yourself before getting your cars? i.e, downloaded music onto usb keys, new sunglasses and leather gloves to wear while driving, bought fluffy dice etc etc lol
or
is this wait really sending me mad and im the only one thinking of doing silly things

Download your favorite music on your USB stick and enjoy yourself when you pick up the car. Remember to post pictures when you get the car. You are going to be happy, I'm sure. This is normal, new bmw is something we boys look forward to. Good luck with the new car.

I downloaded the f30 (couldn't find an f20 one) car manual pdf to familiarise self with iDrive, stop/start and auto before pickup.

You can call me wired, but I would get some new shoes color matched to the car

Sonnig · 03-15-2012, 07:39 PM

A USB/ iPod with my favorite tunes is a must.
I also went out to get a new set of car shampoo, leather cream, wheel shines, etc.

I am searching for pictures of the exact same model and colour. Playing with the car configurator. Looking for winter wheels and accessories - etc. And waiting, waiting....

Most of all I visit different BMW dealers to see the car, adjust the seats, test all switches, touch the interior surfaces.....
I am crazy about cars. And I love German jewels

All the above has pretty much summarised what I did, including the blue puma shoes I bought!!! Lol, but the first thing I did in the last seven days was to fine tune a couple of playlists for my first drive, depending on the type of route, weather etc.

Yes 'Sad' I know but kept me occupied!!

itsmekevs · 03-18-2012, 05:57 AM

FirstBMW@24 · 03-19-2012, 06:36 AM
