Picking Her up Sat March 8th!
Official Hello to Forum!
I have been reading for a little over a year. It has been great reading and following the threads. My AW/6MT is at VPC and has been released to the carrier. It will be at my Dealer March 6 for my pick up on March 8th. Going to be a great weekend coming up! There should be a ton of happy posts from other members Sat night. I will post pics. |

Mine is at the VPC too. But I dont know when it would be at my dealer. Anyone knows how to check that? According to my dealer it was supposed to be shipped on the 10h of feb, but it wasnt. So, he does not know when it is going to be shipped.

Im not sure why that is but that is what she told me. Her manager may know someone there. I didn't think to ask because the info was offered when she called me. Hopefully, they may have more info tomorrow.
Good Luck |

Regarding the voyage of the Faust, I was worried because it showed up at the port two days late. I called the shipping company and they said they first unloaded the Faust in Bayonne on the 27th and then in Jersey City on the 28th. Anyway, you're right, it was a looooong voyage. My car is waiting at the VPC with no release date yet. My CA told me he would call me every day and keep me updated. As far as the DCT, I've always been a MT guy. I still don't understand the hype of the DCT. I understand it shifts quicker than a manual, but I prefer the feel of the shifter.

My reasoning was for the wife to be able to drive it, if necessary. I am concerned of the possible CVT feel of this new tranny. I actually liked manual type 'kick' from the SMG. I know I will love the 6MT. Looking forward to it. Please post pics of your car when you get it!

Im in Corning NY but the car will be in Binghamton. They are expecting her in tomorrow. It sounds like BMW will let me get it Friday but it would be in the evening and I am not picking her up at night. So, it looks like Saturday. The dealership is Gault.

Must have spent your money on forged wheels, huh?
