Anyway, we are all pretty frustrated that after years of waiting it's come down to this. It's easy for you to say; your car is awaiting transport!

Congrats by the way.
Thanks for the congrats. I obviously don't know the real story on the wheels. It could just be a gross understimate on BMW's part or ineptitude on the supplier's end. But unexpected sh*t happens, as well. Ramp ups are often uneven, but these wheels have been offered for 6 months around most the world.
