I certainly will but I can't seem to escape this cursed port 🤣

My car was assigned to a carrier on Monday but it hasn't left and likely won't make it to the dealership till next week.

yah ~ lol Save money to dump it on IND and M Performance parts

can't belive how much it went up on the aftermarket parts for G8X series compared to F serie...

Lexura did you switch to winter tires yet? I had purchased a wheel/tire set and asked them to install on the car whenever it arrives.

Haha so true. I'm so excited to get this car. I sold my C6 corvette a month ago given the market was so good and this car was coming. I miss having a fast car...

I just settled on Michelin A/S 4's. I just gave up on finding the 829M's with the Alpins. Am not driving the M4 in inclement winter weather anyways.
What wheel and winter tire combo did you go with?

The dealership suggested wheels mounted with Michelin pilot alpin 5 tires. I don’t have the specific wheel part number but included a picture. The whole set was 3600$ so may have been able to save some money if I did more research on my own maybe

They had said it will fit the carbon ceramic brakes on my build. So will have to take their word for it.

I ended up getting the 829M/Alpin combo. Got them through the dealership back in September. Now that they are sold out I'm glad I got them back then.

This will be my daily driver so need the winter tires.

We have weather dipping into the low 30's and high 20's here in MN. So far so good. No regrets. Now waiting for snow to fall just to test the A/S 4's out. I will let you on how they do.

I was on the Hoegh Trapper too. It arrived 11/26 at 3:48PM. My M440i GC currently has the RAM Stop Sale blemish. Any stop-sale on yours . . .that you're aware of?

As of right now it is showing that there are no open issues with the car. However, The Hoegh Trapper is back in the Atlantic heading south to Jacksonville and it still says my car is in transit. So maybe when it updates I may have a stop sale.

Has anyone had an amplifier stop sale closed out yet?

Just got a call from the dealer, saying that my car is at the dealer

However, it was not ready to pick up as the missing module are still missing and they are waiting for parts to arrive at the dealer,, which they have no clue when it'll come.

Says that Balti port is so jam packed with such cars, they started releasing cars to dealer and having them install missing parts before releasing it

Got so happy for 1/10th of second kekeke
hoping they get their part very soon ,, fingers crossed

Man I wish they would resolve this quickly. I've been at port since the 26th. My CA has been on top of keeping me informed but I did not get such a call. We're you able to track car and see it was on its way to dealership or did it just show up?

At least you can visit and appreciate your car in the dealer museum..😎. But yeah, Baltimore can hold so much thus the decision to ship cars to the dealerships. I'd rather have my car there than at the VPC.

I'm following right along with you. It was great they got all the cars unloaded but I wonder if Friday was a holiday for the VPC or not. No stop sale for me either but I think it can take a few days.
