got fed up with the lack of info from genius and the app. talked with my CA. they dug around with BMW and found out the car is sitting at the port in Altamira. will be loading onto the RCC Grand Mercury due into port of Baltimore OOA 11 March. That ship is in the anchorage. If that plan happens it would have been 7 weeks from production complete to port in US.

Sorry to hear that, yeah that does seem kind of long. Maybe less orders in the NE in this season so takes longer to fill a boat?

What build week did you guys have?

[ourlee]

I was build week ten 3/3-3/8.

My order went through a couple days ago, I'm status 111 now.

How long does it usually take to go from 111 to 112?

My GM traded for an allocation, I got my production week same? next? day. I guess the trade was ripe.

I'm expecting a call any day now! Its enroute to the dealer as of this morning!

Here is the timeline for my M2:
3-Nov Order placed
4-Nov Allocation received
15-Nov Started production
28-Nov Build complete and passed QC
7-Jan Loaded onto shipping vessel
15-Jan Arrived at port of destination
29-Jan Arrived at dealership
30-Jan Delivered

All in all, it took less than 3 months from order to delivery, even with 4 weeks of it sitting at the factory after completing the build. But I still feel quite lucky for that timeline given what I've seen with other orders. Here are a couple pictures from delivery day:

Mine jumped a few steps on Friday and is on a ship right outside the port! Ship is Vela Leader heading to Port Hueneme, CA per BMW Genius and should be there tomorrow!

I'm an Active fanboy. I know the Valvetronic guys, they're super cool. I just prefer my stuff made in America.

Can't wait to see what you do with yours!

Looking forward to your next video! I’ve settled on AA for the midpipe. If you end up doing just the mid first, I’d love to see and hear some before and after on what it does to the car. I also got MP HAS port installed (or rather being installed - car arrived at the port yesterday). I’d love to see you do a video when you drop the suspension some more - I’m assuming you’ll go max low. I have a feeling I’ll be doing the same with mine.

Installed it yesterday! I'm going to make a video on the intakes and midpipe before the car goes for surgery.

I'm having second thoughts about slamming it again. It's on the factory drop from port right now and the handling on this one feels noticeably better than on my last G87 that was slammed. Im not kidding, it's shocking. Plus the added benefit of an extra 10mm between my Alpha N front lip and the ground is a nice bonus.

When we start racing this thing I might lower it a little more if I need to, but I think this might even be better for weight transfer so I'm not constantly blowing the tires off 90 feet down track.

Interesting thoughts on further lowering. I’ll have to see how mine looks and feels once I take delivery. I’m hoping it doesn’t take anywhere near as long as yours did to get out of the port to the dealer.

I’m subscribed to you on YT, so I’ll be watching for that next video to drop. Can’t wait to hear it!

What day did you start production?

Began production on 1/13 and then sat at step 9 and 10 for weeks

Took delivery yesterday.

Haven't been able to drive 'Emma' much since - I have a hernia that I'm managing until surgery later in March - but my CA said that after it arrived at the dealer on Tuesday, she had several fellow CAs ask if she was absolutely sure it was already sold. Apparently they really dug Skyscraper Grey with the red interior/calipers - SG is more of a dark silver that really makes the G87's curves pop.

She goes in for front-to-back ceramic tomorrow, including the first 'real' mod: CF mirror caps from NW Carbon Haus.
