2 weeks is nothing and within reasonable time. My car was in port 5-6 weeks before it left consider yourself lucky

My car sat in Bremerhaven for 40 days before boarding the Morning Carina. It has now been sitting in NJ VPC for three weeks. Get comfortable. You might need to wait a while.

I know how to drive manual I just don’t want it cause I live near the city. Auto is faster so I get what’s faster ��. I can down shift with the paddles lol

I looked at a vid on YouTube of the xdrive m5 vs rwd, and the control you get with AWD is better with all that power that’s what’s made me get the awd. And there’s a video right now on YT of an awd m4 doing 0-60 in 3 seconds!!!. Crazy

Those that waited a month or more to get on a ship, damn. This is not good news.

. I'm going to need intensive therapy after this whole process.

Its worth the wait. Its hard with all the delays but yeah when you get it you'll forget about the 8 week wait

Yep AWD this time. I’ve been assigned a ship so next week I should be in transit. This time I’m going to baby it. Excited to really enjoy it this time. But how are you enjoying your car? Any problems

The xdrive is insane. the traction makes it easier to go around corners quicker. And to be able to put it into RWD any time is huge plus. The car is a blast

I need to drive a automatic xdrive and see how big the difference its. I bet its so different from my manual. Drive to NJ/NY so i can try it 🙃
