Our US based HSBC bank account information arrived, so I can finally transfer money a LOT easier from US dollars to British Pounds. We finally heard back from the real estate agent that the owners of our house have agreed to pay to fix the hole in the wall in our master bedroom, and we get to paint it any color we want and won't have to repaint it before we leave. AND, the best news is that we picked up our BMW!!!
I've uploaded the first pictures of our shiny, white BMW 120d. It was really fun picking it up from John Clark BMW. Chris, our salesman, has been super friendly and helpful the entire way. I especially enjoyed having him show Dena and I all the little features of our car, and was just dumb-founded when he told me that the car does not have a dipstick to check the oil. No dipstick? Really, no dipstick! There are sensors that feed back to the computer to tell the level of the oil and the oil pressure. I'm kind of doubting if I'll ever have to open the hood while we're here. There isn't really a key to speak of, more of just the keychain remote. Our BMW is equiped with the comfort access, so the remote can just stay in our pocket. I just have to push the button on the dash to start the car. It really is a nice little car. It has LOTS of torque, and just had to do a little burnout since it was raining. The traction control light on the dash came on and fused at me.
