Mines in the paint booth today, Im hoping for a Jan/Feb delivery. Is that realistic?

Feb sounds very realistic

Moving along, assembly in progress

Might be a silly question...but any concerns about builds done over the holidays? Not sure how hard the Germans like to party over Xmas... LOL

The plants shut down for two weeks.

So useful info I didn't know about, thanks.
I wonder what is it the exact timeline from 155 to delivery for our EUR spec cars.
We can almost smell the car at this point though.

I'm in Europe (Belgium), and I've been stuck in 182 "schedule for carrier" for over a week now. According to my SA, they've had some cars stuck in this status for 1-2 months in extreme cases. I'm curious to hear updates from yours as soon as it moves past 155!

Oh come on man no more bad news

.
How long did it take yours from going 155-182?
On friday I will go to the dealer to check if mine is 155 already.

I have no idea honestly, my SA told me on thursday dec 2nd it was in the paint shop, and then a week later, on dec 9th, he told me it was in 182. But I would assume it is max 1-2 days to go from 155 to 182. But I'm really curious to see if you get stuck at 182 as well (obviously I hope for you that isn't the case!)

iqstick · 12-15-2021, 01:21 PM

ABQ_M3 · 12-15-2021, 01:21 PM

I was in Assembly in Progress this morning! You're probably not that far behind me. Just hit QC, hoping to be dispatched soon.

Nice! I've been in QC since Monday. Really hoping I don't sit there for weeks like some have

What's your build again?

What's your build again?

Brooklyn Grey
Full Fiona Interior
Red Calipers
Executive Package
Laserlights
Carbon Buckets
Carbon Exterior Pack
Carbon Trim
M Drive Professional

Hopefully it's just a glitch in the system on your end and you've made it out the factory. I hope I don't get stuck either. I ordered this car back in July and have been delayed so many damn times. My Siri suggestion every morning is to get on the Track my BMW page.

M3 manual with exe pack, laserlights, 826 black wheels, carbon trim and bucket seats. I have had zero delay since I obtained my allocation (which didn’t take long). A 4 day train ride might be just in time to catch a 10-day express vessel to Baltimore. Fingers crossed.

Alright, I will post any updates on friday.
Anyway, it is pretty diffcult we share same carriers as mine should head way down south.

M3 Comp Non X-Drive. I wanted to own a high power RWD car since it seems like everything is headed to AWD and I think this is going to be the last RWD M3.

Yeah, there's another manual M3 that flew through QC too. I'm comp, xdrive. Who knows? Hopefully you'll get yours before too long!

Got it. Can't go wrong with either. Just was curious and always attempting to make sense of these delays. That's two M3 , manual, that have flown through QC in our build week.

Let's see if the comps (and my xdrive) follow suit.

Yep true. But I don't even know what they mean by "carrier". Is this just the truck that transports the car from the factory to the dealer? Because I can't imagine how my car would have to wait weeks just to be put on a truck

I don't know what is the exact means of transport they use to Belgium, but to Spain they use the train.
Those are long huge freight trains with hundreds or thousands of cars on them.
I assume they use train for Belgium too but I don't know for sure.
