I was thinking of saying that I placed a (German) order at another dealer while waiting and that it is only a few weeks away or something. Honestly, I'm so tired of waiting I would probably buy without a lowered price. Any thoughts?

Yeah, I know how you feel. I'm just going to ask if they could knock off a few bucks because of the wait, but the reality is I'd get the car regardless.

Can't hurt to ask.

I agree. I would just ask and use the wait time as the reasoning. I did not order my car. My dealer found it on the boat for me. I was quoted 2/6 and I am still going to ask for a small reduction. Never hurts to ask.

Not sure if anyone else's status has been updated, but I am officially listed as "finishing touches"

Mine too! What dealer are you buying from? Crevier? Mine is heading to Mckenna around where I used to live but I recently moved to OC.

Yessir. I hope to pick it at Crevier before the weekend! If that holds, opticoat on Saturday!

Btw: if you need parts, see Jesse. He has been great to work with. I have black grilles and black chrome exhaust tips awaiting my arrival.

nikneo · 02-12-2013, 04:02 PM

Finishing touches for me as well

still haven't heard from my CA though. Think I'm gonna ask him to throw in those "m sport floor mats" at the very least

okjohnho · 02-12-2013, 04:21 PM

Just an update guys, my CA quoted an arrival at dealer for the 16th. I hope she'a being ultra conservative.

Really, no word? Man, I heard from my sales rep yesterday. I also heard from his assistant today!

My status also now says "Finishing Touches". However, under Selected Options and M Sport Line, it lists Adaptive M Suspension (right under M sport suspension). We did order M Sport, but not Adaptive M Suspension. Probably wishful thinking if they added this option for the long wait. Anybody else see the same thing?

Mine also says adaptive on the website. I highly doubt they installed it. Might be an Internet error. Would be nice though!

My sales rep said I should have it before the weekend, but his assistant said it's scheduled for Monday...I want to get opticoat done this weekend!

Where is a good place to get opticoat done in OC? Any special discounts or pricing? Are you doing the whole car? Bimmerpost won't let me send PM yet.

You should be able to send PM after a couple of posts. When you can, I'll send you the company I am using with details. A gentlemen down in Del Mar used him as well and raved about him. I am doing the entire car and rims.

JPinky · 02-12-2013, 10:43 PM

My CA just emailed me. He said my car has been released to the transport company and should arrive at the dealer Thursday or Friday.
