Car is at the dealership! That was really fast.

Fil - we went with the OEM 21s that you can get on the M50i.

Well, "tufo" was slang in Lima when I was young for bad breath, so even read correctly it doesn't help me.

We are taking delivery tomorrow. In the meantime I activated the BMW Connected app on my phone and can see that it's still at the dealership's lot in Charlestown - like a mile from my house. I thought about honking the horn and flashing the lights from my phone but thought better of it.

Did you get the option with all the cameras, if so you can get a picture of the car where it is parked.

All the cameras and stuff came standard I think. I can't turn that function on yet - need to be in the car to click something.

Car is now at the dealership with a full tank of gas. They obviously spent some time going over it because the app showed random doors and windows open, then the hood opened, etc. Neat. I'll also be able to use my phone as a key - to unlock but also to drive.
