Very nice! Can't wait to see mine in person next week. EBC will definitely be a popular color this year.

I've been wondering how popular EBC will be outside of the internet forums. When I look at the inventory of different dealerships they rarely have EBC. Don't off-the-lot sales account for most of the car sales?

Yup, same here. The option for the audio streaming part wasn't enabled in the MMI by default and is separate from the phone portion of the bluetooth. So, even if you pair your phone, the audio may not seem to work right away. Just go through the menus until you find the option to enable it. I find in the morning when I get in my car to go to work that it also takes a minute or two for the car to establish the connection and begin playing the audio. Make sure to give it a moment.

Hope I'm not boring everyone, but here are some more pics I took tonight, after cleaning my car. (Nice evening!) The main point of these pics is how the look of EBC changes in different light. The most extreme example is the picture in my garage (forgive the mess), where it looks "mauve" - is that the right word? The photo is a pretty good representation of what I was looking at. Not my favourite look, and not the way the car normally looks, but a good example of how interesting this color is, with its changing looks with changing lighting.

Oh well, as long as it's only purple when it's in the garage!

The inside of my garage is painted bright yellow. This is going nowhere good.

You'll love the color. That shot I took was with the sun quite low in the sky and coming into the garage. And you had to be looking at the car from the angle I was - from any other angle, it was still blue.

EPC (Estoril Purple Crystal).

I'm kidding around; I'm sure I'll love the color (even if it does remind me of The Artist Formerly Known as Prince).
