In Transit!

At long last, my car is in transit. It was built on 9/28/2022. It took a bitch letter to BMW Group asking why there are a bunch of unsold cars with the same options as mine built after mine at local dealers to get it moving.

Super pumped right now.

Definitely congrats on that.

Mine was unloaded in Baltimore on the 21st, and granted with the holidays and all, it's just been sitting.

Have you ran your VIN to verify that you have no stop sales that will hang you up once it hits the dock in Baltimore?

So far so good. There's a software update that pops up, but it's something that can be done at the dealer. Will keep an eye as it gets closer.

Congrats man! The whole thing is crazy. Mine was built two months after yours and I picked it up last week… Makes no sense.

Great to hear it, dude! Mine was on the same boat too. Should have it in a couple of weeks from now.

I’m just happy I was able to find a trigger puller who could make stuff happen. I’m starting to plan a few road trips. Driver Assist Pro package is gonna be incredible. Also looking forward to LED headlights.

I might upgrade the subwoofers, but gonna see how it compares to my Mercedes’ Burmester speakers before I decide.

Yeah, I love driver assist pro... especially in heavy traffic. Was coming back from quick eastern shore trip yesterday and it didn't bat an eye at the bay bridge return traffic.

I'm also debating what to do with the sound system, doing some research on upgrade options. Maybe some better subs and clearer tweeters? There was a thread posted on main Bimmerpost site few days back: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1978330

Nobody. Vanilla Google query + grab coordinate out of the HTML with a regex + method to parse the coordinate into something the map can consume.
