    And BTW guys, you may be able to get the "R" version, wrap handle, quicker. My dealer couldnt get a regular 500i but they had 5 of the R version. Nobody knows theyre even offering R version yet.

    I was at the local dealership this morning. Probably good they didn't have on there. Was prepared to come home with one if they did.
