I had just gone to bed, like 6 hours, before, and it said OPEN. So, it's still working for some of us, I guess. I called my CA, and said, "Hey, it looks like my STOP SALE has been resolved" he says, "let me look, nope, it's still open." I was a little bummed.

He emailed me like 3 hours later, to tell me it was now completed. So, it would seem like the UK checker is truly in real time. It showed my car was released to the carrier, yesterday, but my "IN TRANSIT" didnt finally update, until, today. Either way, I should have my car Tuesday. 10/19. Thanks again, Alex.
Maybe it wasn't a dream afterall. Congrats on having the stop sale resolved and picking up your car on Tuesday!

I would like to know how BMW is prioritizing these stop sales. There are others here that were on the same boat as I was and there stop sales are still pending while mine was completed 2 days ago. Took a total of 5 days for it to complete since it was unloaded from the vessel. I am grateful but at the same time empathetic for those that are still waiting. Their time will come and it will be well worth the wait. I drove my car for 3 miles to drop it off at the detail shop for PPF and won't see it for another week.
Thank you. And I believe they're just unloading the vehicles off, parking them, and getting to as many as they can get to in one day. I've heard between 30 and 40 a day. So, if your car was completed a few days earlier, it was possibly 150 cars ahead of mine. That's all I can come up with.

Such great convertible weather here. Sure wish I had my G83.

Any news out of the Galveston VPC? I'm still waiting on RAM and cameras.

RAM hold just removed from the G83. Hopefully the car will be shipped from Galveston to Austin just in time to be the pace car at this weekend’s F1 race.

That's great! Your car was manufactured the day before mine, so hopefully I'm not far behind.

Hopefully by this week you guys get your car.

I only drove my car 2-3 miles when I picked it up last week to drop it off at the detail shop. Hopefully I get it by this weekend. Getting full PPF, ceramic, and window tint (including windshield) done to the car. The wait is killing me.

Ugh. Still have the RAM issue. Happy others on the same ship have passed through, but also getting impatient.

Hopefully not too much longer.

Gulf coast auto shield. They are very close to Momentum BMW on 59. The owner is excellent. They have 4.9 stars out of 5 rating. Let me know if you're interested, I can PM you the owners details.

Thanks for the info, I was just going to ask on here for Houston referrals. Gave them call and spoke with John, will likely use them when the RAM is fixed.

Thanks, wish it was closer. I prefer to go to forum recommend places.

I have a well reviewed place near my in Cypress but I don’t know anybody who has personally used them (American Detail).

Until getting iviegatron 's recommendation, American Detail was also the place I had planned on getting my work done. Haven't used them personally but also found their reviews well received and so far, they've provided reasonable quotes and communicated with me well.

Couple of things to look out when shopping around for PPF:

- Which brand (XPEL, premium shield, etc) film will they use?
- Thickness of the film being used 7mil, 8mil, 10mil. Thicker the better
- Warranty on film and workmanship
- Turn around time

Can't say anything negative about American Detail, but when I was shopping around I went to different shops and checked the quality of their work. I was mostly impressed with Gulf Coast. When shopping around for quotes I was quoted for PPF and ceramic coating separately at other places. With Gulf Coast they threw in ceramic coating for free since they know a bottle of ceramic coating is not that expensive. Sound like a sales man here, but do your research before you take your car to any shop. Go pay them a visit and check their work.

I'll be posting pics soon once I get my car. Hopefully by Saturday they should be up.

2 weeks ago today my G83 arrived in Galveston with the camera and RAM stop sales. The camera has been resolved, but the RAM is still open.
