Great to hear!

My M550i arrived at the dealer today! Only 192 days after I placed the order.

Haha, no kidding. Would hate to start the process all over again. Of course I would do it, but would not be very happy.

Mandingo9 · 04-08-2022, 07:33 PM

My brain wouldn't know to process that. I ordered this bitch in October and built in January. I'd just buy a used civic and fuck it.

That's a long time. Did it have any Individual options?

SonD · 04-11-2022, 06:46 AM

You should try ordering a 545e in the Uk.
Nov 4th, '21 ordered - probably late June - early July delivery.
Apparently now quoting 12month wait times on many models here, so I am told.

CBM550iBoston · 04-11-2022, 12:29 PM

For my M550i took approx 4 months from order to delivery (this week)- just signed paperwork at dealer today and car is suppose to be delivered tonight! Any thoughts on tire and wheel insurance?

I ordered a 545e here in Denmark last year at this time (I "celebrated" 1 yr of signing the deal on Tuesday). Car was built November 15 and still stuck in Germany with no sign of arriving Denmark anytime soon...

Oh man. Are there any open stop sales? What have they been telling you.

Hells yea! I got antsy and started an account on marinetraffic.com. Got the 7day free trial so I could track it during the trip over to make sure it didn't start on fire halfway through lol. I need to make sure I cancel the auto renewal. Hopefully ill be offloaded in 24hours as that's all it was supposed to be scheduled in port for. You're getting off in Brunswick?

Yes, Brunswick, although Genius does not have a timeline yet.

I tracked the ship here: https://www.myshiptracking.com/?mmsi=431651000

No satellite tracking, so once it moved away from the coastline it disappeared for 8 days while crossing the Atlantic.

Congrats on your new arrival. Can't wait.

Does genius tell you when it's been released to a carrier dealership bound? Congrats to you also. Send pics when you get it.

I believe so. The dealer should also have that info. And MyGarage should revert back to to 'At the port' and then 'In Transit' when it's on a carrier.

Ship already left port! They're not fuckin around.

YETIinFL · 04-22-2022, 07:09 PM

Haha. They're driving that ship like it's a stolen BMW!

CBM550iBoston · 04-25-2022, 10:37 AM

Took delivery of my 22 M550i last week, getting PPF done today. Very impressed by the car (previously had a 19 540i). Good luck to all still waiting for delivery of your cars.

Congratz! and when did you order? Also, how do you like it compared to your 540i? in terms of power and the drive in general?
