Congrats Archie, very nice car.

Duane_in_Chicago · 12-06-2021, 09:49 AM

Wow! Congratulations. I should be hearing from my dealer today, he said on Saturday that they expect it today.

My car is still waiting for a #@%& truck! It was released from the VPC on 12/2.

Duane_in_Chicago · 12-06-2021, 12:33 PM

Just heard from the dealer. They need to do a service check and then they'll call me in.

I fell your pain. Do they have an estimate on a truck?

Those MN winters make truckers not want to drive that route I guess. Hopefully closer than further now though transport carrier step typically isn't long.

Absolutely in love, the smile on my face was just slightly behind my actual first born.

Only wish that I didn't put on and should have is the Shadowline package so if you're wavering definitely do it! But simple fix nothing I can't change down the line.

I'll provide a longer term review later on but for now going to go enjoy it.

Yes, to the Shadowline. ArchieV just seeing your car is getting me excited for our imminent delivery.

Enjoy!!

Ok, it is on its way finally. ETA is Wednesday. I hope to get it before a significant snow.

Thanks. Guys, I have to say that they look better in real life. My jaw dropped when I first saw it in the shop. The photos do not do them justice as you'll find out.

I'm excited for you!

Hi All,
I am hoping recall issue resolved soon on my car. I am in mid-west and the dealer I ordered is on east coast. I have to arrange shipping myself. Any one has ideas what should I take care for shipping like—any specific companies I can use, choosing bottom vs top slot in truck, price, etc. Any info will alert me to take care of it. Thank You.

ill resurrect this I guess,

Hello from NJ. Bout to sign for my new to me 2021 540i Xdrive next week. Im in NJ so I plan on doing oil changes every 5k miles, esp with my heavy foot. Im really looking to see how these B58s are, from my research they seem to be stout and reliable. My concerns are cost for repairs etc. Dealer is giving 7 year 100K on the powertrain only, but is bmw like nissan with warranties? Nissan will use any excuse under the sun to deny warranty work. Car has only 20k miles on it and holy shit is it smooth as butter, what an amazing car. Launch control is way too much fun. Is there any special shit i have to do monthly with this car or just check from time to time for leaks etc? Is there anything in particular I need to look out for? Thank you in advance for any replies!

ps anyone else drive the shit out of theirs? Is it holding up to the abuse?
