Congrats to those who already received their cars. Color me jealous!

Did you check your vin ? On WW?

FaceBiter · 04-02-2024, 01:13 PM

I was joking. I know it was offloaded in NY. It’s just taking forever for them to release it. I knew it would take them some time to install the sport suspension but this seems a bit excessive.

Savvymarvy · 04-02-2024, 01:20 PM

Oh lol. Damn, two weeks is crazy. It’s been two days since mine landed at the VPC and I’m already frustrated lol.

I just picked up the car today and I am in love with it! Only had about an hour with it until i had to drop it off for stealth ppf

HOF_KEN · 04-02-2024, 08:38 PM

Got an email today from BMW saying my M3 order is arriving in 20 days!!!

FaceBiter · 04-02-2024, 09:09 PM

Nice! I’ll be in a similar boat once I pick up mine. I’ll probably only have it for a few hours before I drop it off for a little more than a week while it gets some CF bits as well as full PPF + ceramic. I think that wait is going to feel way longer than the time it’s taken from order to delivery.

Enjoy your M!

I’m choosing to think of the after PPF pickup as getting a new car a second time.

I have never gotten so much joy from an object. A thing. Truly amazing - hitting that start button is bliss. I am going to have to talk the wife into to moving to the country so I can drive more.

I was in France with my kid on an epic Vay K: Lay Flat Business Class, Oetker Collection Hotels, Michelin Starred restaurants - trip of a lifetime - he asked if I would give it up to buy a cool car and I said NO WAY - I would much rather have the experience. I stand corrected. Lucky enough to do both I guess - just not in the same year.

It’s here 😭😭😭

FaceBiter · 04-04-2024, 01:00 PM

I guess you beat me after all. Dravit is definitely an under appreciated color. Enjoy!!

I almost went with this color combo, but switched to Tanzanite Blue at last min.

She looks beautiful! Enjoy your drive.

Life is funny lol. It really is. Hopefully you get yours soon too

FaceBiter · 04-04-2024, 10:55 PM

Well, seems my delivery may not be that far off after all….

FaceBiter · 04-05-2024, 01:44 AM

Ok. Maybe I’m a little excited now. Since I saw the status updated, I couldn’t resist taking a late night drive to peruse the dealer parking lot…

She sure is purdy….

More pictures to come!

Now I don’t feel like such a weirdo. �� if the dealer wasn’t just 5 minutes down the road…well, I would have been less tempted, but probably still would have drove by. ��

Mine was 40 mins away

FaceBiter · 04-08-2024, 12:06 AM

So, my long wait should be coming to an end around 4:00 today. It’ll have a brief overnight stay before it’s off for some CF kit and PPF love.
