I did, I am so behind on everything from the drive. I'll set that up later today! At some point, I want to update this post as well.

I think my favorite part of the trip was when someone asked me if it was a Mustang...

when I had mine, it was one of the first G80's in the area and the only IOMG that. Everyone wanted to know what it was but I never got the Mustang comment

It does get a TON of attention. Did not expect that to come from blandly colored M2s/M5s. Even my GT3 was chalk so that got less attention. I am not sure how to feel about it...

It's a good and bad thing. I do miss the color a lot, it grows on you more over time. I think it'll taper off in terms of people coming up to you as more cars get delivered.

Beautiful car. Bummer about the windshield. What is the exterior color? We just ordered our first BMW in San Remo green.

I know...now I need to actually get around to updating the post. I've been exhausted since we arrived Wednesday night and part of me just wants to put "Car is amazing, the trip went well, goodbye!".

That would really really piss me off. Sorry OP.

Hoping the rest of your drive goes smoother. Safe travels.
Icing on the cake, BMW has no G80 M3 windshields in the entire US. So, I'm either getting something aftermarket or waiting 3+ months according to the parts guy.
Safelite has OEM allocation, give them a call.

Just rang them. They are going to order the glass for me. Hopefully it doesn't take too long.

Congrats and welcome to Texas! We moved to Austin from Manhattan in 2005 (LI native) and it's been a great 17 years. I swore I'd never make that drive again and have been fortunate so far.

Car is beautiful, love IOMG and it's my pick if I bought an M3. Sorry about the windshield, hopefully you'll get it fixed quickly.

This is the best thread in Q3 2022: IOMG F80 in transit to Texas with all of us readers wishing we had the time to do the same.

Awesome build!

I had DynoFlex installed on the windshield and it is indeed slightly wavy - worse on passenger side. I probably wouldn't install it again (but, if takes months to get a windshield, maybe I would).

Take a look at the photos a little bit more carefully. I think you know me better than you may realize!
