One-aholics Anonymous

hello,

my name is Sherv, and I'm a One-aholic!

I cannot sleep, think, eat, work, without thinking about my one.

I ordered it back in may, will do an ED pickup on 9/10, which means i wont get it here until late november!

Sometimes I think I should just cancel the ED and pick it up here locally in a couple of weeks.

Sometimes I drive around town looking for a 135 to just follow and stalk.

My dialy driver, a 2008 VW GTI fully loaded, is not appealing to me anymore...I dont like to even look at it.

I read this forum like it's bible, several times througout the day...living my dream through others' experience.

September seems like such a long way away.....please help!

My name is sherv, and I'm a one-aholic

I'm sitting here drinking a Starbucks Frappuccino Dark Chocolate Mocha...looking out the window at my 135i AW/CR thinking I really need to drink faster

Knowing what I know now, if I had the choice between three weeks and three months...three weeks would be a no-brainer. Just think, you wait for September, drive it a week or so, then wait six weeks to get to drive it again. If you are going crazy now they will have to put you in a straight jacket for that six week wait period. I don't think I could go through waiting twice.

If you do decide to stay with the ED, go ahead and purchase a few mods from Dan@United BMW...you can always take them out of the boxes, play with them, pet them, clean them; then, wrap them up real nice and put them away...until the next day.

I hear a twelve step program will be out sometime around the first of the year:drinking:

Hi Sherv,

Welcome to the program!
Unlike other programs...
we treat our desease by driving!
like other programs we do suggest;

Easy does 1t!
Take it 1 day at a time
The twelve steps before you can drive.

THE SEREN1TY PRAYER (HAY SEREN1TY WOULD LOOK GOOD ON MY PLATE!)

God grant me the SEREN1TY
to accept the things I cannon change; (unless your SA says so)
courage to change the things I can; (modding??)
and the wisdom to know the difference. (suggestions?)

Living 1 day at a time;
Enjoying 1 moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; (service hmmm?)

Engine sound... wait there is more...

Yoda

PS
EspressoBoy is making his favorite drink... As for me, I am just a toy yoda...not to be mistaken for toyota...

thank you esspresso boy!

I'm slowly trying to get on step 1.......wait.....STEP 1? No! I don't have Steptronic!!!..........oh wait......never mind.....we are talking about actual steps!

as I was saying, I'm trying to say my "serenity now"'s every moment now. It helps slightly.

Can also get your vanity plates early? If it helps, you can use SEREN1TY, I don't mind.

BTW we also don't give out chips you have to pay 2k for a chip.

You'll realize when you finally get to floor the throttle and witness the buttery-smooth-yet-utterly-ferocious twin turbo N54 engine come to life that it was worth the wait.

Wait and do the ED. I decided to order and put my money down last November. I picked up my car on ED in May and I should have it next week. It has been painful but it is so worth it. There is nothing like driving down the autobahn doing 130-140 miles an hour in your new car.
