I would have thought about the trunk spoiler as well, but I'm leaning similar to you: finding something aftermarket that covers the width of the trunk.

Now, I have to decide on those other things, like the trunk spoiler, front lip, etc. Decisions, decisions... haha

Yeah, I have been thinking AutoID or R44 for the remainder. They are a couple hundred bucks apart.

Woohoo! My status was just changed to "In Transit"! I spoke with the BMW genius, and she indicated that it is due to arrive at the Oxnard processing center on Friday March, 15th. So hopefully I should have it in the next week or so!

Thanks!

I haven't seen a frozen grey in person, but when I was picking up my car, I saw an M8 Competition in a frozen darker grey. Not sure the official name of the color. But it definitely looked nice!

Yup, definitely on my list, especially the designs. We'll have to wait and see what I end up pulling the trigger on!

Nice! Congrats! Not a long time remaining at all!

Toscana made it to Mexico, along with a handful of other auto-transport vessels. Should see a change in status tonight or tomorrow if our cars are on one of them.

Toscana due in Galveston Thursday.

I have been glued to my browser since Saturday. Toscana had been sitting in the harbor all weekend, so stoked it finally pulled into port last night. I am hoping our cars hitch a ride on that one out to Galveston. Would love to be able to pick up my build next week!!

Well, appears that Toscana is moored at port in Veracruz for going on three days now, as near as I can tell. Abrandonment, are you able to get any better info than I am seeing on the free Marinetraffic website? I’m losing hope that our cars will be here any time soon.

I'm just waiting to see which ship is confirmed for you all. Timing is so weird, even with a few different methods of getting updates.

Mine got on a ship on a Friday and arrived in Galveston on Monday. No updates over the weekend, and all of a sudden, the update was that the car had arrived at port.

[xtougher]

Got the windows tinted today!

First pic is pre-tint, for comparison.

Not the best pics for just showing tint, but oh well.

Also, ended up tinting the windshield for the first time. I'll see if I end up liking that decision after the next several months. I'm thinking I will.

Saw that the Toscana finally set sail around 11PM. Fingers crossed we made it on that vessel. If we follow the same processing as xtougher, maybe we'll see an update to status by the end of the week?

No change in status.. I'm going to call today.

I called a few minutes ago, BMW Genius' didn't have any new updates other than what the BMW Garage shows online. So it's gonna be a waiting game to see if anything comes of the Toscana delivery. If the Texas cars didn't make that ship, the Tanabata looks like it is set to arrive in Veracruz on 3/18.

Thanks! I went with a pretty unpopular combo:

- windshield: 84%
- front roll down windows: 30%
- rest of the car: 5%

First two were sort of chosen for me in my state. The "rest of the car" was the unpopular part, but I like it dark.

Just went from "Ready to Transport" to "At the Port" within 15 minutes this morning. I'm hoping that's a good sign of my M2 making it aboard the Toscana yesterday. Gonna call this morning to confirm.

Nice! Do either of you have any port-installed accessories going on the car?

I just confirmed the same with genius - mine is on Toscana with a scheduled arrival at Galveston port tomorrow. I'm in DFW so hoping it'll be ready for me to take delivery this Saturday. Abrandonment, have you had a chance to check and see if you are on Toscana?

Since you're in Houston yours should arrive at your dealership sooner than those of us in Austin and DFW. Let us know when it arrives at your dealer!

Just checked and Toscana scheduled to arrive at Galveston port at 5 p.m. today.
