Anyone on the west coast gotten a ship name yet? Are they still using NYK liners out of the Lazaro Cardenas port?

Just curious what Individual color did you go with? 490 is just the generic special order color code option placeholder.

The Eridanus Leader finished unloading at Port Hueneme yesterday.

At the retailer !!! Needs a few days for preparation, so taking possession early next week

Did you tell them to not drill the front bumper to be safe!? I think most don’t but…

And tell them to put your shipping pucks in a bag in your trunk

Haven't heard this one before. Why would you do this?

I’m assuming that would be for a front license plate ? We don’t have front plates here, so drilling the bumper would only be for extra air flow

Yeah I was referring to front plate. That was the first thing I made sure along with not having them detail the car as I had heard horror stories. I am sorry, but the front plate on this car is 😭.

To confirm they removed them.

Just updated my order to black wheels from the bi-color on voodoo blue. I saw a voodoo blue Porsche on black wheels recently and I’m certain that’s the right combo. Chose the black with blue stitching interior and I think I fully settled on this final configuration.

It only took me 2 months from when my order was accepted and now both a color and wheel change. 😂

Build week ~47 so plenty of time left to wait. ⏰

Good call on all black!

Ah like a Van Halen M&Ms type request. You don't want to keep them, it's to make sure they were listening.

Pretty much exactly the same boat for me. I ordered from Fairfax BMW on 8/23 they already had an allocation ready to go for me. Got a production number and my color is grigio telesto so I'm sure it will be extra weeks on top of the regular schedule. MyBMW app just says Order Received.

Ordered the car 08/07/2024 for the LCI model. Delivery currently stands at 07/10/2024. UK car!

Grigio! LETSGO! Love the username, can relate

[yash27]

Just called BMW genius and I have a production week of week 7 2025...

I'm probably not getting this car till May

Got my allocation 2 weeks ago and my garage still says "Order received".

Do you guys think the date will change to an earlier date? I went with Individual Voodoo Blue in case that matters.

Looks like you're the second round of voodoo blue. Possible that you get slotted in an earlier run wk49 if another order is changed but unlikely.

Lol, thanks! I've wanted an M car ever since I first saw an E36 in the 90s. Cant think of a better excuse.
