Great choices and a pretty good deal. Summer can't come soon enough. I also ordered the 759i wheels. They really suit the M Sport G30 so well.

Same though it was a hard choice what with the roads here in SoCal. The Bluestone with M Sport and 20" just look so much more cleaner and aggressive.

Thanks! Can't wait, already plotting out mods.

Already in production. Didn't think it would happen that fast. Only solidified order on 3/09 and 3/11 it was in production with VIN #. Is it that unusual? The anticipation....

Sounds like a great build. So glad I went for M Sport pkg. I wasn't planning to get it when I first started my build.

I was also surprised by how quickly mine went into production with VIN--ordered 3/4, in production 3/5. From reading through the forum I would have expected a longer wait. But once in production, I waited longer than I expected for actual assembly of the car--8 days from "in production" to exterior body assembly. The further this goes, the more antsy I seem to get

Not unusual, no.

It all depends on how many allocations the dealer have, and when the next build date is. I ordered my car on the 30th of May last year, an it went into production on the 1st of June.

Seems to be moving along nicely. As of yesterday exterior assembly has begun. Seems plausible I will receive it by early May. Being on the West Coast, I hope that's the case.

Wow, you just ordered 99% match of what I am about to order. Same colors & etc.

I am not upgrading the wheels (horrible roads in Seattle) and ceramic controls are not my thing. Instead I have added Parking Assistance and a space saver as I might go with non runflats in the future.

Waiting to order as my current lease is not up until the end of July. Hopefully incentives will get a little better by then.

Just hit the assembly line today. Supposed estimate for completion is tomorrow, so we shall see. The real wait begins after that. And I'm on the West Coast

Just hit the port at Bremerhaven. Next ships are scheduled to go out on 3/28 and should arrive in CA on 4/24. Longest wait but well worth it.

Hopefully you get on that 3/28 boat! The myBMW website seemed to update pretty quickly after my ship left Bremerhaven so you should know soon

I hope so. Makes the most logical sense to not leave it sitting at port for another week which is when the next ships were scheduled to depart. Now I know how others have felt during this waiting game when I use to be like big deal

Hope it goes faster than mine for you! Mine finally got on the boat after sitting at the port for about 2 weeks. I think it missed like 5 or 6 boats.

Honestly though, from what I have seen on here, depending on where your car is built, the 540i usually moves pretty quick. My fingers are crossed for you! Once it gets on the ship I think it's less agonizing because you can track it daily and it's not a black box anymore like the factory process.

Hoping moves fast. My SA is saying late April/early May. Was built in Graz shipped through Bremerhaven and going to Port Hueneme. I know West Coast takes twice as long so hoping this time frame is pretty accurate.

Got the word it's on a ship headed this way. Feel like I can relax a little now that I know it's on the way but probably won't be the case
