Finally got a pickup date for my car! :)
Finally got confirmation for pickup of my F30! 4/26. Boy does that seem so far away. At least the miserable weather will be gone by then, so I can throw on my BBS RS-GTs right away. Just need some new tires.

Got word yesterday that mine will be ready for pickup next Wednesday, 2/27. Guess I'll be taking a day off work for that. Long wait, but worth it!

Where the big difference will be is likely the ride and handling, as I ordered the Dynamic suspension with its multiple settings. Also, the tires are 45-series front and 40 in the rear, so higher sidewalls and probably a softer ride. My test drives in both 328 and 335 didn't reveal too much, as it was mostly on urban streets with just a few miles of freeway, but I can already tell it doesn't have that hunkered-down feel of my E92 - but it wasn't bad by any means. It'll be an adjustment, but I want the convenience of the 4 doors for visiting guests and such. All that said, I'm anxious to get the keys and head out on the highway. Wasn't there a song about that? Something about "Born to be wild"?

I'm not too anxious to put anything on the car for the first few thousand miles, so it may be later this year before the intercooler goes in.

Forever! I put my order in in December, didn't get a build date til late January (the 30th) and my car has been sitting, waiting for a boat to bring it to USA for over a week and a half! This wait is killing me.

I ordered mine Dec. 15, and we were lucky enough to get an allocation that was already in line. It was for a 335i, so all the dealer had to do was change the colors and options. The car got built in January and headed out on a boat on Feb. 6. It is now either in the port or on its way to my dealer, and I am expecting to take delivery next Wednesday, Feb. 27. So in my case, from order date to delivery is roughly 9-10 weeks. From production date to delivery is probably closer to 6-7 weeks.

The package gets installed at the port, and hopefully your SA can add that to the car before it arrives; otherwise, it'll take a couple hours at the dealership. Or...you might be able to just have them throw it in the trunk and do it yourself, although the price should include installation.

Can't really say, as I didn't price it that way. But - I know that if I'd purchased it through my dealer, I would be able to get a 20% discount on parts & labor, although I would have put the grilles in myself.

Completed build today! Just waiting to go to port, then sit around at the Performance Center until my pickup date. Too excited, late April can't come fast enough!

Exactly what I was thinking and I wish my SA would have told me this...I probably would have gone somewhere else, and now the date he promised my car to be here by will be long gone...
