Brunswick, GA only does vehicles, I'm not sure if your port does other things. Once it's assigned to a trucking company BMW NA can tell you.

Sweet! I did just get an update, it's scheduled to arrive at the VPC today. Hopefully not much longer...

Hey! Was that for me or wiggles? Actually, I think he and I both went with the 20" 846M bi-color. It's been a long wait, my anxiety is through the roof.

Yep! I love the 846M wheels. I've got spacers on the way to help with the fitment. The car looks like a dude that skipped keg day right now lol.

Once they sit flush the entire car will look more muscular

I guess I didn't give much thought to the idea the stock wheels are not flush. I assume the dimensions (namely width) are the same for the 846M and the 668M but are the offsets the same? What size spacers did you get and did you order after measuring or based on feedback/pics from others on the forum? Thx

Yeah, baby.

I ordered 12MM and 15MM based on pictures flans feedback. It seems like a safe bet!

They are on back off until next month so for now it's window tint time and resonator delete

I'll have my 530e this Saturday.

Dude where is yours? I feel like we have all gotten ours, and yours is on a F'ing kayak in the middle Atlantic 🤣🤣

It feels like it! I think the real delay was my build date. Once I hit that, the actual build, time at port, time on a ship was pretty reasonable. I'm told that my vehicle is scheduled to leave the VPC in Baltimore tomorrow, with an ETA at the dealership on Tuesday. I'd likely be able to pick it up a day after it arrives.

I hope there's no delays, I already have ceramic coating, tint, dashcam and radar hardwires, tire swap, and resonator delete planned!

Edit: I’ll also blame my choice to do an individual color and port installed accessories

Update - looks like the ETA is now changed to arrive at the dealer 1/16 (Saturday) instead of 1/12 (Tuesday). Another week of waiting :/

Haha I just complained to my CA why is it taking so long.. guy who arrived after me getting his car tomorrow. Lol hopefully he doesn't troll this forum and call me out. I'm told Thursday or Friday now "most likely" ... 🤞

It'll be well worth the wait! I had never been so ready for something (besides marrying my wife) and the level of happiness and satisfaction it brought while driving home was incredible.

I still get the giggles every time I drive it!

Hah I've been waiting so long I'm worried I will be disappointed now. On the bright side.. I had almost scheduled my PPF/Ceramic/Tint this week and instead decided to wait till next week. Seems like good timing after all.

Good move. I scheduled mine and am having to cancel now.

They’ll probably announce g30s with a carbon package, soft closing doors, night vision and laser lights before ours come in. Just kidding! It’s very soon and will be worth it, I’m certain.

I can promise you both after about 1,000 miles of driving in 2 weeks or so of ownership, the shit eating grin is actually a standard feature not listed on the window sticker. Can't even find a disable button...

It's such a fun and intoxicating feeling. Going to wait until about 1,200 or so miles before I even try LC and timing some 0-60 pulls with my Dragy. But, if you guys are anything like me this will become your new favorite thing d stay your favorite thing

I guess 'somewhat' of an update. I've been informed that it was released to carrier and is enroute as of yesterday. They still show ETA as 1/16 though.

5-6 days to go 12-13 hours? I guess it's fair to assume the carrier may be making several stops along the way? Trying not to trick myself into being overly optimistic again and thinking it may arrive early.

[MYBMR]

I think you will get it faster than that. They had my ETA (4 days) released to carrier to dealership, NY to PA. The car arrived at the dealer the same day.

That's definitely inspiring, thank you!

You’re welcome. I know these final days waiting are annoying. You’re almost there.
