Awesome!! Congrats! My arrival date to Charlotte is ~2/1. Hoping for dates in Feb to pick it up, but I'll have to wait and see.

I think that's doable as long as you don't get hit with any stop sales. I arrived at Brunswick on 12/29 and they originally gave me a PCD date of 1/19 (which I wasn't able to make), so I ended up stretching it out to 2/9.

The car's at PCD!! Feb 9th can't come soon enough!

Was contacted today with a scheduled date of 2/15. I had to reschedule to March 8th, which was the latest they could do.

Also for those tracking, this was about a week after the Reciever Module went from “Open” to “Closed” on the VIN tracker.

It’s actually happening!

For those of you coming in late to the airport, the rental counters close at 12 AM but if you call ahead to the rental counter and let them know u r coming a bit late (like 30 min) they will stay open for you. For some reason Greenville is really crowded in reg to traffic (YMMV if you are in Chicago or NY) but for a city which I thought doesnt have much, there is a lot of traffic and couldnt find a good stretch where u can drive ur new car without stop and go. If possible try to do the Blue Ridge Pathway if ur schedule allows it and the weather is nice. Its totally worth it even if u have to take a detour to get there. Dont miss out on the nice downtown experience. Worth it to just do lunch and spend some time looking at the waterfall. Good luck !!!

How would one request to pick up the car at the end of the day? And, if unsuccessful, what is the downside to not being able to do so? Thanks.

I had emailed PCD to request an afternoon delivery and this is the response they gave me:

"With a Performance Center Delivery, a typical day has 4 vehicles that are delivered in the morning and 4 vehicles that are delivered in the afternoon. Customers that receive their vehicle in the morning will have the morning track drive, but the afternoon factory tour that takes place after lunch, and the customers that receive their vehicle in the afternoon actually do the driving and the factory tour before lunch.

All that said, for your delivery, your vehicle is already scheduled for an afternoon delivery and I will add a note to the schedule to indicate that is a preference so it will stay that way. So you’re all set there!"

There isnt much of a downside.

If you do driving and factory tour in the morning session, you can complete your one on one session delivery session after lunch and leave early. You might save an hour or so.

Its mainly the excitement of it all. Once u pick up ur car, I doubt you wanna leave it at PCD and do the factory tour and off-roading course after lunch. Some people rnt interested in the tour and the offroad course and so they request morning delivery and then skip these and just leave for home. If u wanna stay for the whole thing, then an afternoon delivery is a better option. Looks like M3 are being scheduled for the afternoons anyways but I could be wrong.

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 😂

So happy for your brotha! Long time waiting and I'm glad you are finally enjoying it. Any issues with the TracWrap for more than 24 hours on the car? I am going to do a stop at DC as well, what hotel did you use?

Last question, how many roles of the Xpel TracWrap did you order?

Thank you so much to you and everyone else supporting me on the journey Man! I can’t get the smile of my damn face when I see the car , drive it , or think about it being here and not just on a computer screen for 11 months!

Nope no issues … some pieces came of super easy and other seemed a little tough and made ugly noises but 0 issues overall! Maybe need to be warmer when removal I guess? Westin in Tyson’s corner was very convenient and well priced, used a free night reward I had though but it’s like $100 for the night! And I ordered one role of 12ft by 100ft on amazing for $215 … xpel has same role on their site for $350 … I think you know where to buy it lol. Also it was overkill lmao I still have like 95% of the roll to use …
