Answering the 'was I first question'... I never expected to be the first F30 delivery because I knew there would be people from Europe doing deliveries before me, etc. But I thought I would be the first from the US to do ED through BMW NA. And I'm still not sure about that. There was somebody else who took delivery of a white Sport Line a little before me and it had a tourist plate that was 1 number lower than mine (mine = M1235Z. his = M1234Z), so I'm guessing he was likely a BMW NA ED and I got beat by one guy. But apparently that guy isn't a poster on BimmerFest or on BimmerPost, so he doesn't really count, does he? :-)
Otherwise - the uploads aren't going well. Here is at least one photo of the delivery:
