Anyone else aboard the Elektra?

I really found other people's experience helpful in determining my estimated time of delivery. One, because I want my new car; but two, because I'm selling my current E46 & it's helpful to know when I can expect the new car.

For anyone anxiously awaiting delivery of their car, here's my current timeline:
