In transit! Waiting for official word from my dealer, but I suspect my car is on the Torrens--arriving in Baltimore on April 9

Thank you! Learned that my car is actually on the Hoegh Jeddah, arriving in Baltimore on April 17. I'm going out of town on the 19th, so I probably won't pick up the car until the end of the month
Oh well, at least the wait will be worth it... |

Communication with my dealer was a little strange. They always answered me when I had a question, but once I noticed my car had left the receiving port in NY/NJ and was on a truck, I called and he was like.. oh yeah it's due to arrive tomorrow! Left me wondering when I would have been notified if I hadn't said anything...

Got a call from my dealer today. The salesperson from whom I purchased the car (he of poor communication) is no longer with the dealership. The new (actually longer-tenured) guy introduced himself and updated me on the status of the car--will likely sit in Baltimore for a couple more days (hopefully no damage during transport!), then 2-3 days for transport to the dealer and PDI, and then it'll be ready for me. So far, communication seems to be much better with this guy (he didn't have the status update when he called me, but followed up about 20 minutes afterwards). I guess in a few days I will need to get the insurance set up for it--it's insured by the dealer/BMW until I take delivery, right?
Not too much longer now |

Congratulations!
If the M550 came in imperial blue, that's the color I would have gotten. I went with the Bluestone and just found out that it should be at the dealership on Friday. |

Thank you! Quote:
First impressions (in my first BMW) -I have barely dipped into the throttle but the car is incredibly responsive. I haven't noticed any turbo lag. -Steering feel is great, especially in Sport mode. -I got the Pirelli run flats. They are OK, but seem to be pretty loud. I'll try them for a while longer, but suspect I'll end up switching to go-flats in the next few months--I did get the spare tire kit. -Interior looks great to my eye. I wasn't sure if I would like the Cognac interior, but decided to try it since it seemed to be such a unique color. I'm glad I did--exactly the shade I was hoping for. -I suspect it is going to take me a while to learn about all of the electronic features. So far, the night vision and HUD are my favorites. |
