orionstudt · 04-14-2023, 08:13 PM

cannockwolf · 04-15-2023, 04:56 AM

And me! BMW Genius told me it was made on the 6th April and ready to leave.

Add me in as well. My car has now been sitting in ready for transport for a week. My lease is up in a month and I have equity in it so I really want to sell it. I hope it doesn’t take tow months to get my car.

Which dealership did you order yours from? I ordered from Pompano. I guess our cars will arrive the same time.

I'm now (finally) the proud owner of a 230i.

I ordered it in August last year, it was built late October, found its way to an Australia-bound ship in January, got held up for about a month just off Melbourne for quarantine delays, and was finally delivered today. Totally worth the wait!

Leonardocav · 04-17-2023, 09:19 AM

You guys have bmw genius in the uk? i thought it was only for NA

cannockwolf · 04-17-2023, 09:20 AM

Braman Miami. Iive 10 minutes from Vista but they wanted $5K deposit for an order. They would not budge. Braman asked for $5K, I negotiated them down to $1K. Yup we must be in the same boat. Literally and figuratively. BTW, you are going to LOVE the Portimao blue. My M340 is that color and I love it. I just wanted a change for my M240.

nkborsick · 04-17-2023, 06:26 PM

Ordered mine on the 4th of this month. Build week 21. I hope I get it for at least some of summer 🤞

donm527 · 04-18-2023, 07:56 AM

That PB looks good in the FL sun

What color did you go with again?

Hmm... maybe I should have gone with the blue calipers too they look good matching. Oh well lol.

Odd about Vista. I wasn't sure how serious I was that day but the rep said $1500 refundable deposit

. I knew it would be at least 3 months if ordered and longer every day I kept hold back so I figured why not. Guess it really depends on the reps mood and maybe time of month/year as far as what they are willing to offer.

I got Brooklyn grey. We will need to meet up when we get our cars. There is another guy his username is guitarsandcars he’s in Boca with a M240. We can have a local card and coffee.

I guess that means we need to figure out the combination of ship movements from Veracruz via Bremerhaven that ends up in Southampton on or around 21 May.

Notwithstanding it being a fool's errand, I had a look anyway!

Ro/Ro vessel "Torino" is scheduled to sail from Veracruz to Bremerhaven on April 22 (via Galvaston, Altamira, Brunswick and Baltimore) and is due to arrive on May 16. Ro/Ro vessel "Asian Empire" is scheduled to sail from Bremerhaven to Southampton on May 20 and is due to arrive on May 22.

That's the only way I can find for them to reach the UK in the W/C 21 May so it seems to me to be a reasonable assumption that it's the provisional plan.

What will actually happen obviously remains to be seen!
