I'm still at the VPC. According to the Genius and my sales guy, the work order to fit the M Perf options is still open...

The long wait is finally over, my G80 has touched down, didn’t win the tire lottery but Pirelli’s are not that bad.

I was stuck in QC for 25 days so my car is on the Apollon Highway that just docked at sparrows point Maryland today. Also Dravit and hoping for Michelin but I was probably built the same week as you, so I’m probably going to get Perelli’s as well.

Wow! 25 days, my goodness. Soon enough my friend you will have your new ride & good memories to boot. 🍻

All good, guess it could always could have been worse. I intend to buy some Michelins and another set of rims to shift the look from time to time.

Telling you now, it is 100% worth the wait, its such a rewarding feeling.

Could not agree anymore, these cars are unbelievable. In person, behind the wheel is truly an incredible feeling that is not easily explained, you just have to go thru your own experience.

Finally picked up mine and took a quick picture when I got home. It was a great drive home. It's very powerful but it's a much different feeling than the M550i I traded in.

So happy for you all that have taken delivery, and for those of you who haven’t yet, hang in there!

I’ve been so busy with work and personal travel that I forgot to update my friends in this thread. Arrived at my dealer outside of Baltimore on Thursday 1/25 and my SA sent me these pics. Turning my lease in to my dealer in Richmond (and collecting a respectable equity offer) tomorrow evening before I use a free rental car day on a one way car to go up to Baltimore Saturday morning.

My plan is to heed my detailer’s advice and just layer up with painters tape on the high impact areas before driving back to get full body PPF, ceramic and tint. Can’t wait to finally get all this wrapped up and start enjoying the car!

The next goal will be getting through break-in…

edit: also lost the tire lottery, but interesting that everyone else in here also did. To be fair, from reviews it looks like they aren't too far off from the PS4s. my hope is that they can continue to serve as an all-season basically with Richmond weather being relatively warm like my PS4s on my M340i did. Those were great for me here in all weather conditions over the last 3 years, though I do understand that with the power this car has, more caution needs to be taken.

I'm on the Donington. She's expected to arrive in BALPOA 24Feb24 0300 or 0400 depending on which site I've been tracking.

I'm in between cars and been driving rental cars since December. I'm thinking my car will be at the dealership at worse next Thursday.

Hey neighbor. I'm on the Donington as well; live in Charlotte but dealer in AVL, also coming through BALPOA.

Just eyeballing the ship's position vs average speed she'll probably get into port tomorrow morning around noon, maybe a little before. I think you're probably right about end of next week.

Hey Neighbor! It looks like the Donington will arrive after 0300 in the Port of Baltimore. I hope our cars get on a car carrier first thing Saturday morning. Otherwise, I'll bet it will be Monday morning.

She’s in port! I flew over Baltimore a little while ago, but sadly it was cloudy and I couldn’t see anything 😂

This tracking a new car thing is strangely addictive. Hopefully good news soon!

The Donington spends about 18 hours at Sparrows Point before going to Dundalk a short distance away to drop off more cars. The BMW Group is at Sparrows Point.

I'm thinking the cars should be off the boat by the end of the day. Here's hoping we're on the same car carrier tonight, tomorrow, or first thing Monday!
