Public info. Several ship tracking sites provide the information from one provider.

AZG87, sending you a PM in a moment about the AZ allocations if they are still available.
I found a Week 42 allocation at true MSRP on Autotrader no less, and at a dealer only 90 miles away.

The auto trader ad was an invite to configure an M2, which I ignored for several days, because I thought it was just a come on. But I eventually took a shot, filled in the configuration request on auto trader, and a day later I had my allocation with a production code.

Again, thanks to spdandpwr and AZG87 for the offers of assistance.

So as long as my build remains on schedule for a Week 42 build, the only question to be resolved is whether I take the risk of doing PCD in late November or early December and driving back to the snow belt in upstate New York.

Up until our winter move to Arizona 12 years ago I spent 5 decades of driving in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Watertown, Lake Placid, etc. winters. Sorry, but you’re simply wrong.

Truth.

I have an all too painful and clear recollection of 2 1/2 feet of snow one Columbus Day not that long ago here in Buffalo.

And at least twice we have had December snowfalls of 7+ feet, and then there are the ice storms…

So PCD is a gamble, but I really want to do it. Especially bc we can’t do ED anymore

Get ready for a wait. My car was done being built on 7/3 and I’ve been at 160 for like a month. I was at 165 last week.

Waiting since October 26th 🙄 the car was built in a week and a half. Any particular reason for the delay?

Yes! We were without power for about a week. Thankfully I was able to borrow a generator three days in that was big enough to keep the furnace and the refrigerator on.

My client’s G87 has randomly arrived in Brunswick this morning via the Glovis Sirius. It 100% exited out of Port Altamira. FYI, even our tracking through BMW NA is off more times than not in regards to SLP produced vehicles.

No, unfortunately I don't. I thought it was as clear as a hazy South Florida summer afternoon after a heavy thunderstorm as of last Friday. Seems now, a whiteout has occurred.

Still trying to figure out where on earth my car is at this time.

Well, update from my CA...car is definitely somewhere waiting on something (maybe?) but absolutely no definitive anything.
