Here goes...many thanks to all that helped. I hope this in turn answers some questions for anybody who may have any:
Hotels First night I stayed at the Marriot Munich City Center North. Got it for $55 on priceline. Good hotel, internet is 20 Euros/day, parking is 15 Euros/day. Overall decent place. The next three nights at a bid of $58 on priceline I got the Renaissance right down the street. Basically just like the Marriot except cheaper parking/internet, bigger room, and better location. Definitely go with this one if you can, and it seems the $58 price gets it on priceline for some reason...
Rolf He picked me up at the airport with a 745 and smooth ride into the ED Center. He was very helpful, especially to somebody who's never done this before. Took me inside, started the process for me, sat down and had lunch with him...great guy. He also took me from Harms to the airport...first class service. Costly though, 35 Euros for each trip. Better than a taxi but if you are looking to save $ I would go with the S-Bahn or something.
U Bahn Buy the 10-strip thing, stamp it 2x if going more than 2 stops, only 1x if going 2 stops or less. Very easy to get around everywhere. They never did actually check my strip...
Munich Awesome city...what can you say. I went to the Marienplatz often and had the Gluhwein (hot spiced wine). Very good. I of course hit the Hofbrahaus for great beer, and there is nothing like the WeissBeir. I also had Liverkasem for almost every meal...damn that stuff is good. Anyone know if it's possible to get it in California?
Nightlife Went out to Milch Bar and Rafael's one night. These places get going on later in the night. We went out with a bunch of girls so it was a fun time...but everyone just stands around until 1am (I guess when they get drunk). Then everyone starts dancing. German girls are pretty easy to talk to...I just went up to several and said "Spheken zee English" and most do. They are a bit boring though...and mostly sober. I spoke to one girl for about 20 minutes (I had been drinking beer for about 5 hours now) and I finally offered to buy her a drink, and she said "Coca Cola". Considering she was sober and driving all her friends home that night, I quickly left. Girls visiting Munich are actually more fun. But that is just my opinion.
The 330i Unbelievable car. From my specs, you can see what I have and I enjoyed everything. Comfort access is awesome, the park distance control is actually very useful, and I Drive is a breeze once you get the hang of it. I do have to say though, I drove once in the snow and with the Sport Package it's very hard...especially trying to get up the ramp at Harms. I really think this car is worth more than what I paid for it. Beautiful.
Harms Very easy process...fill out some paperwork, drop off a key, and there you go. The guy there (wears glasses, forgot his name) is very nice and helpful.

Any other questions...ask away. One question for me - do I just have to wait for the letter to find out what ship my car is on?
