E39 540i Delivered!



Got my E39 540i yesterday.  What a car!  I dropped it off in Bermerhaven 
Germany (after pickup in Munich) on about 9 or 10 June and the car 
arrived in Memphis on 26 July.  This took a bit longer than I had 
expected.  The other unpleasant surprise, a large dent in the roof.  
There is rust forming at the apex of the dent where the paint was 
breached.  The dealer sais they'd already filled out the paperwork to 
let BMW know about it...I wonder how it was missed at the port.  
Fortunately, when I dropped off the car with EH Harms the did a very 
thorough inspection to document any previous damage (none of course) and 
I have a copy of that inspection to prove the dent occurred during 
transit.  All in all, I'm happy to have it here; wish it were perfect 
but hopefully BMW NA will fix the problem without a lot of grief.
