Delivery is Luck of The Draw

Glad you got yours quickly. You really can't tell much from calling BMW for a status check. I found out that my car was on a ship by tracking the VIN number on the Wallenius Wilhelmsen WEB site which showed up late on 5/2. BMW still had it at Bremerhaven but by then it was on its way across the Atlantic. Hope you're enjoying your new ride. I'm still getting used to the differences between the 2014 550i and the M550i. The ride is so much more compliant and the handling so much better with 4-wheel steering. I don't miss the fog lights or the headlight washers at all. The LED headlights are so much better than Xenon headlights with fog lamps. The car steering itself on adaptive cruise control takes some getting used to. I do like the feature where it steers the car back into the lane when getting too close to the highway lane lines. |

I hear you! I was so in love with my 2011 550 and then the upgraded one 2014 model, but this feels and handles sooo much better! Can't wait till it's broken in so I can have more fun with it.
As far as tracking, I've learned that tracking VIN (whenever it's available) is far more up-to-date than the production number. How's your experience with car play? Mine isn't vary reliable and I quit using it after 2 weeks. In fact, I like iDrive interface better. |
