It's luck of the draw on whether or not it will cause any delays, but I think it's worth it. Just my two cents.

HAS delayed mine by 3 weeks

Sure, it's aesthetically pleasing, but it's also the bare minimum in terms of mods in my opinion.

My pasty ass was wearing sunscreen in the car for a week or two before I got my tint done.

I will get the tint done but it might have to wait a few weeks/months after delivery to let things settle down. I am pasty white too but luckily there isn't much sunlight where I live until spring time.

Part of my business case to step up into a full M car was that the car would be fitted with all the things from the factory so I wouldn't have to spend a bunch on mods. So the process will be telling the wife that tint, PPF, skid plate are for safety reasons, not performance mods. We'll get there.

I love the use of "business case" in this context!

And it's interesting, living here my whole life. I never even thought of tint as a "mod" until the forums...I just thought it was REQUIRED. LOL

I’m of the same mindset. Skid plate and tint were done immediately. Instead of PPF, I’m having paint correction and ceramic coating work later this month. Good luck.

It’s worth the wait. IMO

Mine was about 2 weeks delayed as well due to waiting for parts on the HAS install back in Oct. Another member on the same boat also with HAS installed got delivered no delay. Probably just luck of the draw.

When did yours get to the Port.

[Sculpin]

I took delivery on Friday at the Performance Center and am now back home in Florida. The car is amazing and I couldn't be happier.

The seats probably added at least a month to the wait time but they are absolutely worth it. I understand they are not for everyone but if you know you want these seats, my advice is to hold out until you can get them. Otherwise, don't ever sit in a car that has them or you'll experience an extreme level of regret.

This was my timeline:

05/30: Deposit paid, on the wait list
07/29: Allocation received
10/10: Scheduled for production
10/26: Production begins
11/08: Exterior body assembly begins
11/08: In the paint booth
11/08: Entering assembly line
11/12: Ready for transport
11/23: In transit
11/27: At the port
12/21: Arrived at the Performance Center
01/05: Delivered

I had the MP HAS, center console lid, floor mats, and trunk mat installed at the port. You'll notice I was at the port for over three weeks. I don't know why it was there so long. It could have been due to parts or it could have been because the car arrived at the port 5 weeks prior to the scheduled delivery day and they were just storing it there.

Holidays? Vacations?

I meant I was not told a specific reason nor did I ask for one. Many people ask "how long does MP HAS take at the port?" I don't want people to think that my case was a typical one, and I was trying to preemptively answer the inevitable follow-up questions.

Mine was about 1 week in early October 2023. Good luck.

I got the production timeline on my car today and I just curiously asked what the timeline would be on Frozen True Grey Metallic instead of Brooklyn Grey and they said they were not currently offering individual colors on the M2. Not a big deal as I have liked BG on the M2 since I first saw it, but has anyone else heard that?

Thanks.

So curious if anyone knows why the installation of the MP HAS requires coding after installation. Got this from my CA as status update.

I have not heard of this before but my guess is that it's just to add the option code to the car. It probably doesn't change anything, it just allows the car to tell BMW that it has the suspension.

I'm just speculating here. Don't take this as fact.

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

I have been using a chrome extension to see my production date, as the page inspect never worked out for me. I think at Strauss 150 this starts being helpful. I've seen it change production date from 24th to 23rd. I no longer have to call Genius to see this information.

is anyone financing through BMW? If so, what rate are you getting if you are highly qualified? My dealer "locked" me in at 6.5% but that was at the time of deposit for the allocation. This was back in July. I am wondering if anyone is getting a lower rate than this?

In the same time period I financed my son's car at 5.25%. My dealer in Spokane didn't even ask about how I was going to pay for the car when I put my deposit down a couple weeks ago.
