Were you able to find anyone to take over your build?

No. I’ve learned that PB isn’t a popular color. Congrats again finally getting on a boat.

Are you obligated to take delivery if you don’t find someone to take over?

Spoke to my CA about getting the whole car PPF’d at the dealership upon delivery and pride matched the quote I got from a local shop ^_^

Ask and verify with them that they are using a decent installer, I got my x7 done from BMW dealership and it was a bad job

Not enough lights to work on it I guess they did not have someone to work on it and I wanted to bring my own guy. Then he chickened out I guess with that excuse.

I’ve been “Dispatched from Factory” since 9/18. Anyone else stuck in this phase? I’m wondering if there’s too many cars at the port to unload the trains?

If we’re all pushed out to a November delivery at least let it be after the Fed lowers rates again. We’ll get something for our wait.

I was dispatched from factory 9/18 and switched to at port 9/20.

I'm having my car go from the dealership straight to ppf on a flat bed

[yert43]

I'm sure you guys are going to tell me I'm crazy, but I don't think I'm getting any PPF.

Where do you live?
Chicago streets are crazy during winter with salt particles and falling roads

Massachusetts roads are crazy all year, so much debris on the roads

[thorHAM]

Yeah won’t be doing PPF or ceramic and I’ll be in New York.

I don’t care for the imperfections from normal use (German weather is pretty similar to ours), and plus it’s a lease.

[dasting]

I will also not be doing PPF. I’ll do my own wax/ceramic coat in the driveway. Not looking for perfection, just generally keep it looking good and having the water bead off. I plan to keep this car for a long time and imperfections are inevitable.

[m3apm]

Imo PPF is worth if your car is individual paint and you plan on keeping the car forever. If you lease or plan to sell in a couple years, it’s next owner problems, bc you aren’t getting ROI on PPF unless u find the right buyer.
