Sigh. Yep Congrats all. Based in Aus and looking at a May production. Delivery is a long way off. I should add there's about 60000 cars at the border waiting to be cleared. Will be a miracle if I see mine before August.

I have April production and am also thinking it might be August by the time our useless government bodies can work out how to drive a car off a boat.

Congrats! If you do get a chance to push it a little on bumpy roads... share your opinion on how stable it is...

Be certain that the shipping blocks have been taken out.
Also, check that all functions on both key fobs work. |

You really think that could delay us that long? I’m also scheduled for week 19 production in May

I had a chance to drive an HEA at my dealer this morning, after viewing it briefly in the detailing bay yesterday. The manual is definitely better than the F87. To me it feels like a shorter throw, feels notchier. I wouldn’t call it rubbery. The power is nice. This thing will haul some serious ass. I only drove it for about 10 minutes, a mix of city roads, back roads and a highway sprint. It pulls juuuuust fine. I felt absolutely no issue with the S58 being paired to this manual. You just have to know how to drive. TH should’ve pulled from at least 3rd from 30, if not 2nd. The gears are tall. I didn’t get to toss it around, obviously, but I could tell just from leaning on it through a few turns that the back end will break out quite nicely if and when you want it to. This is a more capable and more confident car.
Build quality feels great. ID8 is very nice. It rides surprisingly well with the chassis in comfort, from what I remember. The car definitely looks bigger, and feels bigger from behind the wheel as well. Oh and the standard sport seats are actually really nice. A lot more comfortable than the M2C I had. As an owner of multiple F87s, the car does feel more grown up, but not in a bad way at all. My wife said it looked more grown up, and she likes it better than my F87. |
