Actually I did! Lol. Dealt with Brad Russak. You?

Yeah, let's do it. I'd suggest the 5 Dimes Brewery that recently opened up, but probably not a smart move to down a few and hop in a 500+ HP beast.

Did you order from Park Ave? I did. So far nothing but great things to say. I decided this time to stay away from everyones "guy" and did it old school. Picked up the phone told every dealer who was asking 20k over asking price to kiss my @ss. I remember a dealer in Central Jersey telling me no one is selling the G80's @ MSRP. I said there are 3 dealers within 45 minutes selling at MSRP. Her response was "well why are calling us then". Aboslutely sickening what this industry has become.

Called Park Ave, got Brad. He gave fair price on trade in. Ultimately decided to return to him the next day because he looked at me and said in the nicest way - here is what I can do on the price, if you want to proceed, sleep on it and let me know, or dont. Up to you. Told him upfront from day 1 I need to build this car from a cost perspective and the budget is absolutely capped at heated steering wheel & exec package. I still felt I was treated as if I was purchasing a fully loaded F90 Comp.

He stated his reluctance to place an order for the G80 (this was the day after Putin invaded Ukraine). Told me upfront I might not see the car until 2023. I promised I wouldn't bug him. Called and emailed him twice since March 2nd. Got a call from him on 6/30 saying went into production.

Count me in! I went through Paul Miller. Park Ave is also great, got my wife's car from there.

Damn. We should form a Liberty Meet.

Brad was great. Nothing but positive experiences with Park Ave BMW. They gave me the best trade-in value on my C8, got an allocation in no time, no BS and a seamless & pleasant experience.

If you have a moment, check out Park Ave BMW's used car inventory and look up 2022 Corvette. She was mine for a whopping 6 weeks and 650 miles. I waited a year for it. It's a long story, but let's say I underestimated being a family man. I'll share the (long) story another time.

g82_pat · 08-14-2022, 09:57 PM

Damn glad you guys had a good experience but I hated my experience with Park Ave, Sabrina. I went in with no trouble gave my build and she almost never responds to my texts. This is my first car so I don't really know everything but she did not help make the process any easier.

But +1 on the Liberty meet!

G80cups · 08-14-2022, 10:47 PM

I'm on liberty, ordered from BMW of mt. laurel. 8 month wait so far. Lucky I got it for MSRP. 23' M3C xdrive. We are all lucky to even have had the allocation to begin with.

Just looked it up. Beautiful vette! And I feel ya, I originally wanted an M4 comp convertible but reluctantly gave in and ordered an M3….need that extra room for the family as well haha.

Does anyone have a BOL for Liberty?

I ordered from Toronto so we're not able to get a confirmation of what ship we're on in Canada.

Go to Wallenius Wilhelmsen. Go to Track and Trace. Under Cargo Info you will see BOL Number. Type in AEA22803 and enter. There are 499 cars on the list that will be offloaded in Halifax on 8/26. Look for your VIN.

Thanks for this. I just checked and its not on there. I missed the Morning Lena and the Liberty; next up is Themis.

AWG82_E46M3 · 08-15-2022, 10:50 AM

Does anyone know what the New York BOL number is. I tried AEA22801 but it doesn't return anything. I did notice there is a CSL on the Liberty going to Halifax 🙂

g82_pat · 08-15-2022, 12:20 PM

ETA for us waiting for NYC deliveries is 28th for the boat to arrive.

AWG82_E46M3 · 08-15-2022, 12:26 PM

Just got this from Genius "Your 2023 BMW M4 Competition xDrive Coupe left the Bremerhaven Port on August 11, 2022 and it is estimated to arrive at the Port Jersey Vehicle Processing Center on August 28, 2022. Please note, all dates are estimates and subject to change. The vessel name is Liberty."

Aw man. What happened to 8/24? Trying to pull off a 9/1 birthday miracle.

Thanks man. I have one kid who's 2 years old. So I can still pull off the coupe. Plus we already have an X7 if need be.

TBH I don't think it was ever going to come on the 24th, the wallenius site said 28th I think genius made a mistake but looks like its back to the 28th. Its because its sitting around in Britain right now. Also any idea when you folks from park ave will be going to pick up your cars? It would be awesome to see all these cars there together.

Not due to leave Southampton until 18th so looks to be on schedule

Vivalamatt · 08-15-2022, 02:59 PM

I wonder how long it takes for the car to arrive at the dealer after the ship arrives at the port.

Based on reading past Build Week threads, it can vary greatly - but I'm having the M front lip/splitter installed at the Port, so I'll probably be there longer than most others who are not getting any Port-installed accessories...

I'm also getting some extra goodies installed. I hope it doesn't take long!
