Individual build - can i add options?
Hi Guys, I can't believe, i am saying this but i placed an order day before yesterday for a G80 M3 comp and that too with FO individual color but i had no idea that executive package no longer has laser lights.
So when i checked it wasn't on the build sheet and i freaked out and called my CA to get it added and he has put in a request. The car is in production code 102 where the individual color is received/accepted and he said that its upto BMW to accept or reject the change. Any one has past experience with this sort of a scenario? Please pray for me that it gets added as without the laser lights, it will be a bummer. Thanks folks. |

I don't know what FO stands for.
Freakin' Outstanding? Farting Orange? Felonius Oxidential So.... years ago I ordered a Porsche 911, and I decided last minute to change the interior color, and missed the window by a day. No biggee, I just went with the original choice, which was fine. I received the car, take it home, the girlfriend (future wife) came over and I said, "want to go for a ride in my brand new special-order Porsche 911 S" and she's like, "OK". We get into the car, with the full leather interior, and she looks at it and says, "it's duck sh*t brown!" Which is my way of saying, it could be worse. The laser lights are nice, but you'll do fine without them. Every time I got into that car, I thought about what she said, and it just ruined it for me.

It should not take very long, assuming the regional guy/gal is responsive.

I had the same thing after I placed my order. I wanted to change the interior trim but my CA told me that once the order is accepted it's locked and there are no changes. I guess cancelling and resubmitting an order isn't an option. It's all frustrating, but seems to be the way it is.
