Incredible - you might get yours all the way in CO even before me

You also got the MPHAS right? Very pleasantly surprised that it only took one day at the VPC

[BroDoze]

No MPHAS. Probably going coilovers instead with that $3,100. Was tempting though!

[reallymarkedup]

I'm still at port, which is expected. Sure be nice if MyBMW worked so I could sneak a peek at the code but I'm honestly just going to start calling genius every two days for an update. My detailer is trying to keep an appointment window open and has put together a really nice deal for me, so I want to keep them updated on expected times as much as possible (also I really want my car).

Anyone else having problems tracking their car on My Garage? I keep getting an error.. no VIN issued yet. It has been over a month since my deposit and the build was accepted, no production week scheduled yet.

My garage online hasn't worked in about a week, use the app and your production number, it'll populate the vin# when issued!

Not going to get a VIN if it hasn't started production yet much less scheduled.

I was fully prepared to pay cash, but they eventually gave me a 4.48% rate through a credit union. Couldn’t say no to that in this market!

That is such a different rate than what I was able to wiggle out when I purchased this January. I shopped around several credit unions, have an 800+ credit rating, and put about $30K down. Best I could get was 6%. Luckily I will have the car paid off after about 1.5 years of ownership and will avoid a few thousand in interest charges. Lets hope those rates continue to go down as we move forward here.

4.48 sounds like navy fed. I ran pen fed, a local CO CU, and Chase, and wound up going with the 6 through BMW. Lowest of my 3 is 780, with 20 down on a 60 month. No rate reductions for a 48, so it's better to overpay on a 60. I might consider refi next year if rates drop dramatically enough, otherwise I'm not going to worry about it too much.

Yep! But the new one in the center is very nice. Its not a direct light so it feels cleaner and smooth

It's been down for a few days.
It's interrupting my morning check of "order received"

Is there still ambient light in the footwell? And can you still change the colors?

[carroll]

Yep can change them and they are in the Footwell. Overhead to give the whole car a glow. Door handles. And overhead above the rear seats!
I can get a better photo of them tonight. It’s currently in the tint shop

Yeah if you could I’d love that lol mine is going through PDI at the dealership right now, but I’m still antsy to see the ambient lighting lol.

Thanks!!

How many miles were your 2025’s delivered with?

My salesman said to expect 4-6 miles on the car. Between the loading, unloading and a VPC trip to score some coke... the miles add up.

My last two cars (not BMW) had 4 and 8 miles.

Curious to hear from actual new owners too.

The 2024 I picked up two months ago had 9 miles.

It's through SeaWest Federal CU - It's affiliated with the Coast Guard, but no affiliations required to join or finance through them. It looks like my dealer gets 1% because they "sourced" the loan and I get the convenience of just doing everything in one place.

My credit score is around 805 - planning to do 40k down and finance the other ~40ish. Also ended up doing a 60 month since there were no rate reductions for 36 or 48, but like you I'm very likely going to pay it off much earlier.

What's your ship BroDoze? I have a buddy who just switched to in Transit as well on east coast, and I'm thinking it might be Glovis Champion, could also be Glovis Challenge...but I suspect you 2 are on the same boat. I'm trying to figure out which boat it is so he can track them as well...you know pass on the OCD checking

Wrong coast, BroDoze is west and we were both on the Graceful Leader. Sometimes Genius can tell you what boat it's on I think? I seem to remember them saying the name after I was unloaded so they must have that info somewhere.

I may have my car this Friday - we'll see. That would rock!

My CA just called me and said I got Yoks lol. Seems like a lot of ppl have gotten them so far.
