I did hear that B&W was part of the reason, but then there was some conflicting infromation as far as similar chips for B&W and HK. Honestly, it all seems like a luck of the draw.

Car is now at the port, just under 3 month after early July order was placed.

- July 2nd - Order Placed
- July/August - Status kept changing back and forth from "Order Received" to "Ready for Production"
- August 4th - Status changed to "Production Begins" and VIN was assigned.
- August 26th - In the Paint Booth
- September 1st - Entering Assembly Line
- September 2nd - Quality Check
- September 7th - Awaiting Carrier Assignment
- September 8th - Dispatched from Factory
- September 9th - At the Port
- September 14th - In Transit
- September 23rd - At the Port

I'll continue updating this as it progresses. Below is my build to get an idea what may be causing hangups depending on options.

Thanks for this calendar. I'm on your step three and it's been just over a month so I am right on track if I follow your schedule. lol. My dealer says there is a delay on the shadow package but who knows?

What's strange is that the car was at the port on the 9th, then in Transit 5 days later, and then 9 days later "at the port" again.

I can only imagine that it's now in the U.S. at some port? Either way, it's a nice feeling not have to bite my finger nails when it will arrive since I'm not purchasing it.

Yeah, the timeline "regresses" back to "at port" when it reaches Balitmore, Jersey, etc.

Did you get your M5 yet? Same dealer in OP?

Ahhh, got it.

Yes, I've had the M5 for about a month and a half now. Picked it up from New York.

Oh wow, went to a different coast for it. Nice.

Did you make a thread on it?

I did not, but since you asked, here are some pics and sound check

Damn, man, that looks incredible. I do remember you posting the YT video before but I didn't know it was yours. I thought it was just a sample on YT of the exhaust, or something, that you planned to get.

That color is incredible. Motegi or Adventurin? They look very similar on the configurator online.

[AmooManiak]

Thanks! It's Motegi red. A month after ordering the Bernina on the M550i, I was kicking myself for not gettin gthe Aventurin. This more than made up for it. I love the different hues in different lighting conditions - it looks maroon in some instances and then orange in others.
