And, take it from me ... BMW is using other lines in addition to Wallenius. Keep that in mind as you stalk the Wallenius' site. Best of luck to all of you for a 2020 delivery!

The track my bmw site has been jacked for the last couple days. Keeps messing up. I called my dealer and I am still at the port... been there for about a week. Hopefully catching a ship in the next few days. In the meantime... I ordered the IND color matched side reflectors and license plate holder, and the dragy gps performance meter!

Hah you've started doing what I've been doing. Shopping around for what else I need. When I get a new car the first thing I do is order WeatherTech floor mats. I'll probably get one for the trunk too if they make it. Then eventually it's time to tint the fronts to match the back. Trying to figure out what tires I should order since it's coming with summer tires (run flats) in the winter... I did the Space Saver Spare so I can go RFT or non-RFT. Might copy your Dragy plan. |

Nooooooo, I was so entertained by our cars being production and shipping buddies.
Just spoke to the Genius line and they said it's at the port (though I have to think they meant on a train to the port, otherwise they're realllllly going lightning fast with mine) and that it should hopefully show up as on a ship or assigned to one in a few days. When I called in, I was lightly bantering with the rep, and they must be able to see the records of my calls because they chuckled and said "yeah, you really must be excited for this car" Guilty as charged... Also Jas387 - I've fully gone round the bend, and managed to look up and replicate the Tanzanite II Blue paint in my Forza Horizon game. Have now painted a 2018 M5 in my colors and am "driving" it to fill the time. |

Gave mine a wash today, and was quite mesmerised by the shifting colour of it when viewed from different angles and light sources. If you’re anything like me, I think you’ll be very pleased with it. |

Do updates seem to come in at any particular time of day? Wondering if they're done in batch daily or if they happen at any time throughout the day.
Mine still at status 111 since 10/26 |

Must just have been a delay for your car due to either the actual production slot your dealer got for your car, or it looks like from your picture you selected Aventurime Red. That's an individual color and they say that always adds time on, so might have been waiting around until they'd scheduled a batch of your color cars to paint together? |

Not sure how bmw handles the m performance stuff on 2021 model years, but might be a port or dealer installed option. Porsche does that too with diffusers and front splitters etc. keep them off for shipping snd install once it reaches the destination so they don't get damaged. But definitely ask your client advisor, they'll know more for sure. |
