Wow that looks awesome. Thanks for sharing. How does it drive, what are your impressions ?

Been flip flopping on the m3, since the car has taken so long from order and probably have another 10 days to go before I can get it. Thinking about the M6 instead of the M3. Probably have to buy it but the deals on them are awesome. One thing that is keeping me from jumping is the SMG on the M6.

I didn't think it was available until the summer. I'd love to be wrong though.

Hey Ksoze,

Looks like your car was barely at the VPC ? does BMW have a VPC in Baltimore or was it sent directly to the dealer from the port in Baltimore ?

ksoze · 04-07-2011, 09:01 AM

VPC at Port of Baltimore to dealer.

Ship docked very early Thursday morning and car was at my dealer lot (one hour away) the following day and delivered to me on Monday, although ready by Saturday.

I was surprised at the speed of final delivery and it seems that once things get closer, everything speeds up. Now the wait until 1,200 miles, but I am really loving the car so far. My commute miles are very low, so need to have some extra curricular driving to reach the magic milestone.

I will do a write up on my initial experiences with the car in first few weeks, but so far it exceeds my expectations, which were already pretty high.

yep, getting ready to dock. Hopefully I can take delivery next saturday.

kiln · 04-08-2011, 07:11 AM

florida highway seems to be doing some weird things

kscarrol · 04-08-2011, 07:21 AM

If your tracking using the marine traffic website, I found that my ship, the Bosporus Highway never actually showed that it called on Brunswick. Not sure if this is because Brunswick doesn't have the tracking equipment or what the deal is. If she was scheduled to land yesterday, she should have done so. In fact the marine traffic website shows the Florida Highway moving away from Brunswick this morning...

kiln · 04-08-2011, 07:59 AM

Ok.. I figured that was the case.. thanks for your input. Well.. it looks like she will be here soon! I can't wait. I am having Peake put on all my perf parts before I take delivery.

kscarrol · 04-08-2011, 08:14 AM

Nice! Looking forward to seeing you around town...

cracker123 · 04-08-2011, 09:37 AM

Yhea Brunswick lacks tracking, back in december when I was tracking on the bosphorus highway it did not even show up in the area, couple of days later it showed up near south florida. Surprised that the florida highway even showed up. Vessel tracker did have the info that the Bosporus highway left port under port schedules.

Anyone else on "AIDA" heading for performance center delivery?

polymatheist · 04-11-2011, 03:01 PM

At the prep center as of today! Any idea if that means I should have it by the end of the month?

The dealer had mine the following day the ship docked, so depends on the transport to your dealer and traffic at VPC.

Forget end of month, could be end of week.

kiln · 04-12-2011, 02:09 PM

My car is in mobile.. will b at my dealer in 3 hrs.. delivery pushed back till tomorrow

docderwood · 04-12-2011, 02:15 PM

Mine is hopefully arriving in Brunswick, GA at 2 AM tonight. Hoping it makes here by the weekend...but I doubt it.

You were right, it is ready now.

The dealer is walking distance from my house. I'm walking over to get it right now!

ksoze · 04-12-2011, 09:07 PM

Have fun and get driving.

Gsin · 04-13-2011, 10:29 PM

Car is on ship right now. But the earliest PCD date I could get is May 25th.
Any one else have a hard time getting a date with PCD?
