I would assume it's a VDC thing.

It would also be awesome if we were able to watch the build progress, or get a pic of the completed build, and daily updates of pics of where the car is

any updates?

MangoConChile · 04-18-2011, 08:51 PM

there wont be an update until the end of the week. the ship is in the middle of the atlantic and out of tracking range. once it gets near the canal it will be trackable again.

tlp · 04-19-2011, 01:55 PM

The ship is still out of AIS (Automatic Identification System) range. As soon as it's re-registered on AIS I will get an alert and will update this thread.

Tonifyd · 04-19-2011, 02:34 PM

how is everyone holding up in the meantime?
I think it's a good idea to stay away from the horror story threads tho..or maybe it'll be good info for us to keep aware of.
I think I'll start reading the manual...

kimchipopcorn · 04-19-2011, 04:24 PM

about to admit myself to an institution... XD

Been ordering little cosmetic parts and staring at everyone's beautiful cars...

"trying" to stay sane for the most part! how about you? what's your secret to stay sane?

RoundTwo · 04-19-2011, 05:48 PM

I started reading the manual too. It's been a good way to prepare so far.

which dealer did you purchase from?

MangoConChile · 04-22-2011, 04:03 PM

im getting a 335is, not an M3 but i purchased from steve thomas bmw. funny thing is when i was getting the quotes they were not the cheapest but the difference between all of them was so small that i chose this dealer as its 10 minutes from the port lol. if that means me getting it a day earlier its worth it.
