All aboard the Fidelio

PhillyNate · 06-13-2011, 10:32 AM

I'm hoping my M3 will be at the dealer this coming weekend. I'm pretty sure it will not.

swartzentruber · 06-14-2011, 08:33 AM

Fidelio just docked in Halifax less than 10 minutes ago.

HeartMD · 06-14-2011, 08:09 PM

The anxiety is building hardcore now, so I called my Ca this afternoon. He told me the port is not ny but in NJ. Also told me that it usually takes a week for delivery once the ship has docked at the port. Sucks cause I have the sat and sunday off and was really looking forward to delivery then. So close yet so far.
Are any of you guys gonna opt out of the dealer wash. Although I never have done this on any previous new cars, Im about 99% that I will opt out. Also gonna make sure to tell the dealer that there is to be no test drives of my car at any time.
Joe.

I opted out of the dealer wash. The contention was if the car was so dirty that it concealed damage then have it washed. The car is gonna get a wash at the PDC regardless.

@ HeartMD,

When my M3 was unloaded in NJ Harbor, it was delivered to me exactly one day over!!! So fast I could not believe it!

... there is a thread on Fidelio about that ...

dimabimmer · 06-14-2011, 09:57 PM

Yeah, I had it all prepped by dealer the usual way.... I insisted however not to install front plate!!! ... The dealer assured me they don't install front plates on Sports Cars... it was all good!

dimabimmer · 06-14-2011, 10:00 PM

When Fidelio due to enter NY/NJ Harbor?

My CA texted me today at 2pm and said my car had passed customs and will be at the dealer by Tuesday 06/21. I'll check the weather forecast and determine the best day to get it.

haha....

I actually did see Fidelio this time around in the Harbor, but it was overcast and I thought photo wouldn't be any different or better than what I already have... So I didn't take a picture of it...
I have like 100 photos of Fidelio from last year and they all look the same all the time...

I even have a video too!

dimabimmer · 06-17-2011, 05:42 PM

Here!

PhillyNate · 06-18-2011, 05:46 PM

HeartMD · 06-18-2011, 06:06 PM

Codes from BMW??? Sounds like BS to me... Not trying to stir the pot but if any updates to the software were required, that would have been done at the VPC, not at the dealer. Oh well, Sunday is going to be a long day for you!

Congrats!
