Car arrived in Baltimore the day of the riots. Thanks to super stalking on Vessel Finder, I was able to see the boat move from one port to the next, I assume to get out of the danger zone. Picked up from dealership Saturday during torrential rains and floods. The XDrive handled it beautifully! Could not drive it at all the rest of the weekend due to threats of hail and tornados.

Had a great commute in the sunshine this morning! I couldn't be happier with this car. XDrive, Sport line, Premium, Tech. VO over Oyster with fine wood trim. The wood trim does not seem popular in this car but I love it. It is much darker than I expected, blends with the black perfectly.

Good for you! Here's to more miles of smiles to come.

Another DFW Zweier! Sweet!

Same here: black SensaTec with the FineLine wood trim, with just enough aluminum to set it all off. I'd have preferred Terra (medium gray) as an interior color option, but if you see my car, you'll know why black fits juuuust fine.

Might be time to finally get a couple of decent pics up ...

Well we have sun today but it is a work day. Need sun on a weekend to get good pics to show off! Not sure why we are suddenly having a monsoon season in Dallas....

I also ordered the FineLine wood trim. The reason I ordered it for my 228i is because when I drove a 2015 228i M-Sport with the aluminum trim, it caused a VERY BAD glare on the driver's side rear view mirror. When I was driving North at about noon, the glare was so bad, in fact, that the left outside mirror was nearly useless. The reflection was coming from the "dog-leg" or "L-shaped" trim piece to the left of the steering wheel.

The FineLine wood trim is what's in my wife's X3, and I haven't noticed any such problems; even though I've driven it over 20,000 miles in all directions and at all times of the day. So I'm assuming it will be OK in my 228i when it arrives.

By the way, the ony other thing that I did NOT love about that 228i test drive was that it's outside mirrors are too small; unlike my 2011 128i, which had very nice-sized and practical outside rear-view mirrors.

This is very true. I have a P3 gauge installed in the left A/C vent housing, and the reflection of it off the window is a little offputting, especially at night. I'm slowly learning to appreciate it as kind of an accidental heads-up display, though -- albeit a mirror-image one (pun only partially intended).

I just love using this smilie

Congrats and of course: pics please!

Congratulations on car. You will love it.

I've been driving our new 228i in Germany the last 10 days. Performance, comfort and handling excellent.
