Just talked to the dealership...
The car has been loaded on the truck in Wilmington and will ship as soon as the truck is full. Estimated delivery date is this Saturday. Then, I'm having them put a phone cradle in and tint the windows prior to my taking delivery.
I'm in Columbus, Ohio.

Re: Just talked to the dealership...
Wilmington? I sure could use a spare silver door or trunk ya know, just in case! If I leave now, I dould probably get to that truck............!! LOL. I found that the anticipation of delivery for this 04 was a feeling that I had never experienced on any previous cars. Please post pics after the car is tinted. I havent done that yet as I am still debating it. 20% 35%?

Window Tint...
I'm going with 35%. I've had the same tint on my last three daily drivers (two 745s and an X5) and I really like it. With 20% tint, I don't feel like I can see at night. Hell, maybe I'm just getting old.

Re: Window Tint...
Hey were old getting old but......! Were your other cars silver? I know that tinting dark colored cars looks great but I wasnt too sure about silver. I have the double-glass option so the windows appear a bit darker but Im anxious to see yours.

Oh, and pictures...
I'll certainly be taking some pictures and would be happy to post them. I may need a brief tutorial on picture posting (or is there an instructional page somewhere?). I know that I posted a couple A4Cab pics once, so it can't be too difficult.
Yes, the anticipation is a killer. I've been looking at different 745-replacement options for so long that I was relieved just to have the decision made (and my wife was even more relieved). Now I just want the car to be here. Patience has never been my strong suit.

A silver addiction.
I am predictable. With few exceptions, my German vehicles have always been silver with black interior. I bought the A4Cab in Dolphin Gray and have kicked myself ever since. (It's true that I *might* have been heard blaming my wife for persuading me to get the dark gray.)
I will say, the Atlas color was VERY tempting. It's absolutely stunning. But, the creature of habit in me won in the end.

Re: A silver addiction.
I went back and forth between Atlas Gray and Silver as well. The problem was that most of the indecision was AFTER I had placed the order!!

Re: A silver addiction.
Don't look back Greenie, only forward. :-)
You have a beautiful car. It jumps off the road in silver, esp with the 19" wheels. I'm off to get milk...funny thing is I drive by my MB dealer 3-4 times on every errand....I think they're getting suspicious
