Not good at waiting
It has been a few years and I forgot about the stress of waiting for things to get done. Waiting for 150 status to proceed is no better than waiting for 112 to go to 150. I am hoping to get onto a ship leaving March 21, but if it doesn't start in the next day or two, there's no hope. The ship after that is April 4.

the waiting time is also an exciting time, time to think and plan what you are going to do with the car
I also never had to wait that long for a car after order, but hey it is what it is and until then I enjoy the gorgeuos pics of the people here on the board who get their car ! Also watching some YT videos and so on. I think I never knew that much about a car before getting it as it is with this one! It's my first BMW M car ever and I feel like a child because i'm so excited on getting it ! |

Yeah foreal tho. I ordered an f80 back in 2017 and now I'm waiting for my G80. Idk about you guys but after a week of getting my car, I felt a little sad because all of that anticipation was gone lol I loved the car but just felt like I had nothing more to look forward to since I've been doing all of the tracking for almost 4 months prior to getting the car. Hopefully your car gets done soon!

I'm just waiting to go from 111 to 112.
I forgot how much waiting for a car from Germany sucks. With the X3 I had it in maybe 3 weeks, went into prod right away and was on it's way.

My parents just got a new corvette. Granted they overall waited a year and a half for it but once it got built it was a quick build and then just a few days later was that the dealer. Only came from a state away. I wasn't used to that kind of speed from factory to dealer.

who is good at waiting? lol
sucks but it also makes it that much more sweet when you get it Ive been doing it every year for years, never gets easier! Hang in there I feel more for the people who think they have allocation but in reality they dont and dont know if you dont have an a production number you dont have a allocation and the dealer is just stringing them along. Those guy have it the worst.

my car arrived at port in Halifax last Tuesday... but was stuck there until yesterday when SA told me it allegedly got on the train. There's been delay with CN Rail apparently.
So what I thought would be this weekend delivery, now looks more like next weekend!

I did that 2 cars ago. I had sooo many CF bits sitting in my living room waiting for a car to go on. Maybe I can just buy a nce license plate frame as a place holder for the car. I've been wanting one of those "powered by M" ones.

Ohhhh, I can't imagine west coast. I'd have to do an east coast PCD and then drive it home just to get it sooner. It would be a heck of a road trip in your new car.

I am unable to work. It has already crossed the Atlantic, parked somewhere in the VPC right now. I keep getting goosebumps, from random videos, and posts on this forum where people say how awesome it is. Can't believe it's been 2 months already since I walked out of the dealership in Jan. At this rate I am gonna have a hard time sleeping very soon too lol.
