Next one is Virgo Leader on 10/2.

Smooth delivery yesterday. After my 7th go with BMW, finally got a bow.

Had the pleasure of working with Jon Shafer (creator of Bimmerfest) @ Santa Maria BMW who I'd highly recommend.

Jon Shafer, 20 years ago, helped be to get a color combination on my E46 touring that BMWNA didn't allow: steel blue with natural brown interior.

That started by love of blue cars with tan interiors leading up to today's Zandvoort with cognac. My E9, E28, and G32 all have that combo.

What's with the bows - it's hardly a gift from the dealer!

Following Lexus I think. Lexus did the bow a few weeks ago.

Yeah I will more than likely be on the 10/20 one as I am in 160 still.

Searay55555 · 10-02-2023, 12:35 AM

Ya, sounds like you might be on that next one. Hell, I might be too for that matter.

Probably an edict from Corporate to put a bow on the car at delivery, there is probably a part number for it, as the one on our car when we took delivery in Canada was exactly the same. They probably have a box of them so they have one per delivery bay

Searay55555 · 10-02-2023, 01:04 PM

Ya, sorry. I don’t think you’re getting on this one, sadly. Hope for the next one.

No way, my car hasn't even been turned on yet lol. Yes, let's hope! I have a little under 3 weeks for them to get her down to port.

Final assembly? Ya its still gotta get to ready for transport, then it'll sit and wait for a boat then wait to load. So hopefully next ship depending how far down the line it is behind the others.

My car hit "At the Port" Status 193 today on 10/3. Which is the ship that can potentially bring her home to California?

Virgo Leader started loading yesterday so it's possible you are making that one. If not I believe the next is around 10-20.

There were cars there for a while though so also depends how far down the line etc.

How long were you at 165? I feel like I’ve been there for eternity now.
