Thanks boss, I'm liking you Rims, those are nice 
May I say sir, you have an impeccable choice of color as well.
Yeah it is a b*tch to keep clean, especially in the winters. I have to force myself not to turn into the dreaded "car wash" and "be a man and do the right thing" even if it is -2 degrees. This detail took me 4.5 hrs, used the meguiars polish then NXT tech wax. I bought a rotary buffer but Its intimidating to use.

Once you use high quality product its hard to go back to OTC. Menzerna and 1z are amazing juices of life which give great shine and depth... got a little poetic sorry im obsessed.

Hehe, yeah I can imagine. I assume you're picking up the car this week? I see you've accumulated over 1000 posts in like 6 weeks 
thats... amazing. 
I picked mine from dealer inventory, and lucked out they had one that was nearly identical to what I'd have ordered myself (it has leatherette, I'd have gotten cloth if I could have chosen). Mine was sitting in back still totally wrapped in plastic right off the truck, so it was cherry. 7 miles on the odo when I picked it up.

R56 LCI... For the newer models... BMW has the LCI nomenclature for the mid model redesign cues. Led tails stuff like that. I think it changed late 2010 for the minis. Exact date can be found on realoem.com
Life cycle impulse, life cycle integration... Etc. Basically an update without changing the model.
