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.
