my car's at port today

[asaulo1]

when are you getting your car?

[!Xoible]

tentatively thursday. yes, i know, i'll post pictures

[!Xoible]

so i got several emails confirming my car will be at final port on the 6th. i called my CA today and she said she just checked and couldnt locate my car

sounds like im fucked??? i have that feeling that i am

[asaulo1]

they're probably in the midst of trucking your car to the dealer.. hence paperwork is still changing hands... at least you're 2 weeks closer than me.... good luck... hope you get it soon

thanks man!!! i hope they're getting its naturally white pimply ass down here

man..i drove a 335 over the weekend... im afraid to say that i like the feel of 335 more than M3.... kinda scares me, i feel like im doing the wrong decision.... im all confused man, lots of pressure, lots of thoughts going in my mind... V8 vs. gas prices, the fast 335's, the nice clutch.. idk man... im all confused right now.... dont tell anyone, they'll kick my ass

[asaulo1]

c'mon now, bro... get your head straight..... M3, feel the raw power of that V8 til it reaches 8k rpm (after brak in, of course)... gas prices.... heck, it's worth the $100 bill everytime you fill er up.... if I need to get "green" I'll just drive my wife's prius.... that'll make up for it, right?

[Mx3]

a 335 is no M3, yes it is fast but the M3 is fast AND special.

[!Xoible]

i know.. but my whole point of going to BMW is to get a civil clutch. m3 doesnt have that.... oh well... im still gonna get it im just being anxious and freaking out

[asaulo1]

for those actually on the madame butterfly (sorry mantis ) .... guess what, we're delayed again for a day.... it was supposed to dock port hueneme on the 17th, now the 2w site is saying the 18th.... I guess i better just brace myself that it might not show up til around May....

[!Xoible]

WTF!!! well i seem to be having bad news on my end too. CA told me she cant guarantee the car will arrive @ dealer this week

[asaulo1]

at least, you're 90% sure that it's here already and that all it takes is for them to deliver it from the VPC to the stealership..... good luck, man... i know you'll be getting your car sooner rather than later

[!Xoible]

u guys hang in there.... it'll be here before ya know it

[asaulo1]

the agony continues
hey mantis - are you going to bimmerfest? at what my ship's rate is, I might not be able to go....

[asaulo1]

update for those that care shipped just passed panama canal yesterday but guess what, site says its not going to dock until the 19th now. What luck, huh? Oh well, the agony continues.

[!Xoible]

so you will go to bimmerfest

yah i want to go, 80% going. i'll give u my # so we meet up there man.

welcome on board dbacon!

[asaulo1]

damn... the 20th now... i swear it takes longer and longer for that boat to get to cali. Oh well, just as long as I get it before May, then I should be able to go to bimmerfest.... I think OC kid, chompino, xcellere all want to roll into SB all together... that would be cool if we can add to that list... imagine, 5-7 M3s all rolling into bimmerfest at the same time well, wait, I guess I'm getting ahead of myself.... let me get my dang car first

[!Xoible]

it went thru panama? it only takes 7-8 days man... forget the tracking site

you will get your car man, i wouldnt worry about it bro... u'll make it by bimmerfest

Yes, welcome to the board. Congrats on being on Madame Butterfly. What are the specs of your car? Thanks for posting the update. I wonder which date is more accurate.
