That's what I'm expecting.
It sucks now that you can't enter your VIN number into the cargo manifest tools for the shipper anymore - I'm going to have to get creative to track the ship with my car across the Atlantic.

Manual Not Available Yet...
Now that I have my VIN, I thought I'd take a quick look at the manual for the 2021 MY car - no luck.
BMW's system comes back with a message saying the manual isn't available yet. Well played, BMW.

Yeah those won't work for a week or so after the car completes production. But it will work well ahead of your car arriving. I read my entire manual by time my car arrived . |

MY 2021 photo added to build status today.
The tool in my garage is now showing an image of the car.
Perhaps this bodes well for the U.S. MY 2021 configurator being up soon.

All right! Went through a similar process with my build last spring. I loved being able to check the status but sometimes found myself checking the site many, many times each day

I'm checking two, maybe three times a day. Gotta keep an eye on the new toy.

Honestly, I don't know. I took a quick look at Edmunds and Trucar's websites, and all I see is what BMW is offering for the 2020 MY cars they need to sell to draw down the inventory. My CA has told me the production run post COVID halt is only for Pri 1 sales to customers who placed orders - they are not currently building 2021 models for inventory. That will change once the orders are filled of course. My best guess, it may be a few months before you see anything for the 2021 MY other than loyalty, but you can probably get a good deal on a 2020.

They won't have a supply problem I bet as I expect they will be closely tracking demand. |

I "think" the shadowline package adds the black front grill and also black around the lower front air intakes.
Good choice on the BMW over the Audi. I pondered a 202 M550 vs a 202 S6 for months. While I liked the interior and exterior styling of the Audi better, the BMW's power is significantly better. At the end of the day, the price difference did it for me as well - the negotiated price of a similar build Audi was $18,000 more than the negotiated price of the BMW I ended up buying (both with MSRP's ~$89,000) |

My understanding is that the M550 comes standard with cerium gray accents on the grill, mirror caps, etc. and I'm only seeing that on the mirrors in your build photos.
