Congratulations! I love those pictures! Some of the best I've seen so far of this particular color.

Mojave metallic IS Havanna metallic, right?

I am currently awaiting delivery for an Havanna metallic 535i with oyster/schwarz and light wood trim. Since I've never seen this color "in the flesh", your post was particularly reassuring and conforting!

I find this color to be the classiest choice for the F10, away from the more common (but still great) spacegrey, sophisto and sapphire...

Thanks for sharing, and best regards from Argentina!

Yes, Mojave in US = Havanna everywhere else. My car is now home in the US, and I love the color. Thanks for the compliment!

If you don't mind my asking .... in the end what is the price difference, all things considered (trying not to place a value on the sheer beauty of europe, lol) between ED or getting it to dealership?

For the 5er, ED saves about $4000 off the purchase/lease of the car. This is certainly enough to pay for a nice week in Europe!

Not sure you can get the X5 via ED...when we were on the factory tour in Munich, they mentioned that the X5 & X6 are built in SC, and exported to Europe...

You know, now that you say that I believe you are correct. I am picking up my 550 in SC and they do build the x5 there. I guess I didn't think that it was the only place they built them though. I'll check when the time comes. Thanks.

Also, thanks for the info on price difference. Do you have to pay for everything yourself or do help with any of it, either directly or though discounts, specials, etc?
