Been about a week at VPC. No work orders started on my car yet. Hoping something changes next week.
Car confirmed was loaded on train and made it to VPC. Now it's just a waiting game.

Give them a call if you haven’t already not sure if that one was ever snatched up but I bet it was. I also see built cars available on this forum from time to time.

Great info thank you!

Hi guys. I’m in the MKE area and looking for an allocation. I’m on two waiting lists so far. 1st and 4th. I would love to see a G80 in person if anyone around here has one.

Hey man geektech and I are both in Mke area. I think he is closer to taking delivery of his G80 than I am getting my G82. Mine was in QC for 7+ weeks but just flipped to awaiting carrier assignment yesterday. I’m prbly at least a month away from taking delivery but I’ll keep you posted. I’m assuming you are on list at Milwaukee north and international autos. I have a good relationship with Michael at Milwaukee north I can ask him about an allocation.

Sweet. Glad to see there’s some local guys. I’m on the list at Milwaukee North and I’m 4th on that. I’ve met Michael- cool guy. I was there yesterday putting down a deposit. International is charging 2k over MSRP, so I’m skipping them. I’m first on the list in Madison. Hopefully I get going by January.

What colors did you guys get?

There is a dealership up in Green Bay area also you may want to try them. I got BSM it’s a G82 comp Xdrive - exec, park assist and drivers assist with laser light and ventilated seats. What spec are you leaning towards? Will keep you updated on my car we should all hook up once we take delivery. In spring summer and fall there is a cars and coffee meet at McKinley Marina every third Thursday usually morning to early afternoon.

I just gave them a call and they’ll contact me if anything becomes available in the future thanks. Nice build. Brave with BSM. I’ve pretty much solidified my build for a G80CX with full tartufo, all options minus the ceramic brakes and carbon seats. And that silly one that deletes the black trim for chrome. I’m still undecided on the exterior paint but I want to stay a way from darker colors (originally considered TB2) so I’m between Skyscraper Grey, Portimao, and I’m now considering IOMG

All good choices - I saw a BG M3 comp as well as a MW both looked great .

@MMM.PWR ,

I took delivery about a week ago. I was featured on the front page of Bimmerpost.
I ordered individual Voodoo blue with Fiona red interior.
This car is just awesome.

[MMM.PWR]

Gorgeous. I did see a BG X3M40 and it looked nice, but it seems to be a pretty popular choice.

How do you like the full leather option? It’s checked on my build, as well as the carbon package. I was not considering either of these options but now I can’t not have them

Oh man congrats I figured you were getting close. That build looks incredible, enjoy that beast. Wondering how long it took for them to install the RAM at the port? Supposedly the reason mine was in QC for 7 to 8 weeks was that they’d install it at the factory but I’m not relying on that.

Thanks! More photos here:

Took delivery of G80 M3 Competition individual voodoo blue with Fiona Red (superman) https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1876342

I was waiting only a few days for RAM install. I was originally doing PCD but we had a family emergency and I had to cancel. RAM was fixed in SC VPC and then car was transported up to MKE. I bought from International autos but I locked in my cost well before places started charging above MSRP. It was about 7 months from getting voodoo approved to delivery.

The full leather is gorgeous. Get it. You won't regret it. The dash is also leather and has nice stitching on it. Really makes the car feel premium.

More than happy to show off my car in person sometime. It's a daily driver for me and I just threw on some all season tires to hold me until I can get some winter rims. I'll be driving it all winter. I have 148 miles on it so far.

I'm out on the west side of Brookfield.

Dude I’ll take you up on that - can’t tell you how great that car looks , I’m jealous - I’m a real estate appraiser I’m out in that area all the time - I’ll PM my number - great to hear about the RAM , hoping I don’t get stuck in awaiting carrier long and my car gets on a ship asap.

[MMM.PWR]

Would love to see a G80 in person especially with the extended leather. I’m close to Sussex / Menomonee Falls

On another note, what are you guys doing about the front plate? Tow hook bracket?

I don’t want to jinx myself but I haven’t had a front plate for 10 years going back at least 3 cars .

Knocked on wood for you. That’s good to hear. I know in Chicago it’s almost a must to have a front plate or you’ll get a parking ticket. I won’t worry too much about it.

You guys getting the adaptive cruise control? How do you feel about the sensor in the kidney grill? I don’t really mind it too much but once I noticed it I can’t unsee it. Still I would hate to lose that feature over a little bit of symmetry

Is that the extended traffic jam assistant ? I do have the drivers assist package.

Probably used for that too. I haven’t owned a BMW in a long time so I’m not familiar with their tech but the wife’s Volvo has adaptive cruise control and it’s pretty great. I have read good things about the traffic jam assist feature though

I have it and it really is great if you do any Highway driving. It keeps it's lane with just one hand on the wheel. Matches speeds down to full stop.
Once I had it I always spec it. I don't even see the detector in the grill any more.
