I took delivery of my M3LR this morning. At 8:20am, I moved one car out of the garage to make room and went back inside to get the dogs ready for a walk. At 8:24am, I walked out, and the M3 was sitting in my driveway. Aside from a small black mark near the driver's door (easily fixed), everything looks great – matrix headlights, mobile charger (I ordered 03/12), and Michelin tires. I didn't notice any issues with paint, glass, panel gaps, etc.
I swapped out the floor mats, put a screen protector on (probably the first time I've successfully attached any screen protector), and took it on a drive. For those in the OC/SB County area, I took it on a drive through Carbon Canyon and had a blast. I was worried I would feel cramped or simply uncomfortable since I was going from an Explorer to a very different (and smaller) car, but it wasn't an issue, and no longer paying $90+ to fill up my tank every week shouldn't be an issue either. It took a few miles to get used to the one-pedal driving, and I'm still not the greatest at it, but I can tell I'm going to prefer it over traditional "two-pedal driving."
The hardest part will be figuring out what to do with the additional 15 hours in my day since I no longer have to refresh the app and account page waiting for any sign of delivery.
Anyway, I guess I graduated, but as someone said, this group made the time fly by, so thank you. Someone else said the wait is worth it, and they're 100% right.
