I can’t wait to see it in person. I hope you get on a ship soon! Sucks how they put people on ships at brem. I got put on a ship before a couple other people that are heading to the west coast. Sucks how disorganized they are

I'm still at port. Was supposed to be at the dealership yesterday. No stop sale from the tool on here either. I have port installed options but I dont think it would take this long to get them installed.

Got to the VPC on the 9th

shundal · 01-16-2023, 08:17 PM

Mine arrived at the dealer on the 11th. Signed and sent the paperwork back today and wire transfer tomorrow morning. It will be getting picked up on the 18th to be trailered to me by end of week. I was in no rush with the rain we’ve been having lately.

Switched to In Transit this morning...talked to BMW Genius Customer Relations Dept and they said its either about to get on a ship or its already on one that recently left and they need a day or two to see what ship it what was assigned to.

No, no one is able to tell us about our port of exit. Yeah we have Don Carlos happening right now and Elektra that arrives at the end of the week, also visiting both Brem and Zee before heading to NY.

Big thanks to all you guys for your help and support during this long journey! Shout out to BigLilSteve for opening the doors and welcoming us all to share.

Picked her up yesterday. WOW. SO much better than I even hoped for. First off, pictures do not do this car justice. It's beautiful. Dravit really pops in real life much more than pic shows. And the drive? Amazing. The precision of the steering just blows me away. Had a 50 mile drive home through back roads of NW CT and it was a blast.

Wish you all the best to catch your ride from Bhaven or Zee. It's very frustrating, but you WILL get your cars soon. It's worth the wait. We have all chosen a remarkable iteration of what BMW stands for. G8x rules!

Congrats on taking delivery!! Looking fantastic, seriously!

I know for me, it’ll be a dream come true. This car will be on a whole other level compared to anything else I’ve ever driven. I’m one of the few stragglers in BW46 left is still a decent ways from taking delivery. I personally just finally caught a boat yesterday, due to arrive at NY port on the 30th. These next few weeks can’t pass fast enough!

Took delivery yesterday

smitpatel5 · 01-29-2023, 09:28 AM

After a 11 months of waiting … ladies and gentlemen I would love for you to meet Mia!!! I can’t even describe the feelings … not exaggeration … one of the best weekends of my life! My buddy I brought along is also a photographer and did a whole 700+ photo shoot at many locations and a whole YouTube video of the exp! (I’ll post more pics soon but here she freaking is) yes I did cry lmao and it worth every damn second waiting for her. Lost the tire lottery but who tf cares at this point 😅. Also on the covered here in Xpel TracWrap (temp ppf for road-trips and track days) looks like shit but goes on and off easy hence the pick that looks like she’s wearing a condom.

On the drive from South Carolina to Boston (w/ a overnight in DC) I was challenged to a. Race 5 times, and received 4 thumbs up &#128077

Also sorry cross posting so apologies if you see this a couple times 😂

Congratulations!! Mia is absolutely gorgeous. I love the XPEL TracWrap idea, where did you buy it from and what size? I also need to drive my car home from a different state before she gets her permanent PPF

Is that stuff the same as a temporary ppf? Or thinner?

Looks great. I think the 825m's are the wheels I'd go with for Dravit.

Congrats! What’s tracking like once you hit the port? Does Genius have info on transit info to the dealer?

Genius will be able to tell you when your car is estimated to get on a truck and when it is estimated to arrive at the dealer. For me I was got on a truck a day or two after I arrived at port and got to the dealer the next day
