1-3” of snow on Friday and just balls cold on Sat/Sun.

Interesting, what size are those pa5s. I was looking at those but they didn’t come in the factory size so I just went with the pa4s (these tires are quite expensive)

I had the carbon fiber inlets, center console lid, floor mats, and trunk mat in addition to the suspension. I don't know if I sat at the port as long as I did due to any of the parts or if it was just storage due to Performance Center Delivery.

My Port is Galveston, TX cause I'm in San Antonio, TX and the port is 262mi (4hr 5min according to Google Maps) from my dealership. Only had the MP HAS getting installed.

Ouch. And I thought it was bad on my delivery day. It was in the 30's but it was clear. I'm excited for you that you're getting your car but sorry you have to immediately take it out onto those roads.

Damn, I'm sorry man. I know this probably doesn't help but the wait will be worth it. There were many choices I made with this car that delayed me getting it, from the carbon package to the port options to Performance Center Delivery, but I wouldn't change a thing.

just checking to see how everyone is doing with their cars or if we are still waiting it looks like some are still waiting! but its worth the wait for the port installed parts i kinda wish i did the suspension

I really regret not doing the MP HAS but didn’t know I could add it to the build after already submitted.

My car has been in "Work Order Started" status since 12/16. Genius has no idea why there is a delay. My CA told me yesterday there is a "parts delay."

The only part I'm having installed at port is HAS. Not sure if he was blowing smoke.

[Kanrai]

Mine just got to Port yesterday, hopefully don’t have to wait a month for HAS install.

Still waiting here... Last CA communication was that I was released to transporter after MP HAS installs. App still says At Port. Fingers crossed any day now...

I’m not sure what to believe at this point. BMW Genius said my car was on a truck toward St. Louis as of 1/9, but the app also still shows it At Port. When I provided my CA with the update from the Genius, he responded with “I’ll let you know when it actually leaves the port.”

The tracker showed my car as "At the port" until it was at the Performance Center. I checked before I went to bed and it was "At the port", then first thing in the morning it showed as "At the dealership". So I wouldn't be too concerned if the tracker isn't up-to-date.

Happened to check the app this morning and my status has been updated "in transit"

[Timothy J]

If anyone wants a white MT with CF package, I know of one at port in NJ that someone backed out of. Heading to BMW of Hudson Valley. DM me

They're actually a mix. Fronts are 275/35R19 5's and the rears are 295/30r20 PA4 N-Spec. They're a couple seasons old and it appears that the 5's are no longer available in the 275/35r19.

I don’t mean to keep spamming this thread, but I also got a call from my CA that it’s on the way. We’ll see how much this storm slows things down, but could be looking at Monday or Tuesday delivery! Super pumped!
