By chance did you order a M Sport with active cruise? Looking for evidence of this configuration in the US; and curious about the front sensor's implementation on the M Sport nose.

Mine finally got on a ship this morning and is headed for Port Hueneme with an August 22 ETA. Now I wait.

Good deal! The ship wait is the killer.

Yes. I just picked mine up. There's a small square for the radar on the front of the car in the center of the mesh grill. It's tastefully done but obviously isn't quite aesthetically pleasing.

Edit: holy hell this car is amazing

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I ordered a 2014 328i M Sport White MT, and received a production number on 06/17. My patience has been pretty good so far, but after being on this site, I can't wait for it to arrive. BMW site tells me production ended, anyone have any idea when it should arrive to NY?

Ask your CA for a current VIR for the car to see if it was assigned to a ship yet. Also with the full VIN # your can track the car on the ship.

Drives great. Still figuring out all of the gadgets.

I called the BMW NA # and they said It is at the port waiting for a ship. Please tell me this isn't the worst part!

Although thankfully short lived for me, this *is* the worst part. It's especially frustrating when you see (on vesseltracker) a ship come and go that is heading to your VPC destination while your car still sits there, waiting and waiting.

It's unnerving because you dont know if it will be there 2 days, or 2 weeks, just depends on ship schedules and how many cars are waiting for trips across the Atlantic.

This would be worse.

Picked her up last ngiht. I know I need to add more pictures. The NBT NAV is quick and very nice. The touch pad iDrive controller is very nice. I will write a longer review and post it after this weekend.

Looks nice Frank. Congrats

EvenKeel · 08-01-2013, 02:37 PM

Picked her up yesterday. 4 hour drive home from GA to NC. Rained all the way.

Lovely machine. Btw, if anyone is concerned about the ride quality with the 403M wheels and DHP, don't be (can't speak to standard MSport Susp).

The power is there (335). Break in recommends staying below 4500rpm. There is some much torque that I never felt the to go past, at all.

The absolute masterpiece beside the N55 is the ZF 8 speed. You have to experience it to understand. Super smooth shifts and super fast in manual mode. I'm truly in awe.

The tech is superb as well.

Still taking it all in.
