For me, all of that took about 8 days to be released to transport to dealer. It doesn't mean that it wont sit there for a few more days after its released though. they seem to give 2 days for transport time but i suspect it depends on where you live. So anywhere from 1 week to 2 weeks before you actually see your vehicle.

maybe this is what's taking so long....

I just called the Euro Delivery number and they gave me all the info about my car clearing customs and told me date the truck would be dropping my car off at the dealership. Should be this monday!

Did you get It? I certainly hope so.

Finally picked it up Thurs. A few crappy phone pics.
I swapped the wheels to 220M's; I like the design and gunmetal matches Silverstone better. ZCP wheels look too "aftermarket" IMHO.

why does everyone automatically disparage their phones pics?

those look great, man! congrats on the new car.....i know the wait was killing you

the silverstoneII is a sweet looking color...what is the interior like?

i cannot believe you swapped out ZCP wheels....but, hey, to each their own!

Here's the interior. I'm keeping the ZCP's in case I want a change of look again, and I likely won't have to buy tires for years. They just have the same design as 20 other rim designs I see for sale anywhere I look. The 220M's are lighter in weight too.

RS4now · 07-27-2013, 04:10 PM

thats one fine looking M. What kind of tires came on your ZCP wheels?

It's here! It's really effing here! Going to get it later this afternoon. Pic tomorrow.

OC ///M · 07-29-2013, 11:00 AM

Nice!! Congratulations bro!

@JohnC28: I applaud you going with the 220M's. You're right about the gunmetal accent tying in w/ SSII, that, plus the weight factor make it-I just wish they were wider.

C-M2 · 07-29-2013, 11:18 AM

Congrats! Nice to see another Illinois member!

The 220Ms are 1/2" narrower than the ZCPs. But they both use the same size tire; I can't honestly tell a difference in width placing them side by side or on the car.
Passed 200mi today; 1000 to go on break-in. A few blasts to 5000rpm really makes me want to try that last 3500... will be fun!

RS4now · 07-30-2013, 06:36 AM

Picked her up last night! Unbelievable. Pics later. Funny thing was it came with original pilot sports. I didn't think they even made them anymore. And the salesman kept telling me they were run flats. Lmfao. After 10 min of explaining to him they weren't another guy came out and and said these are run flats. I gave up for a while until the service manager walked by and told him he was wrong. Drive home was tedious at best, kept wanting to get on it but refrained.

SUCCESS!!!! You got her!

p.s., my dealer said that M3's had run-flats too when I put in the order. I just ignored that. I'm not sure why they all think that.

JohnC28 · 07-30-2013, 02:55 PM

Other than the standard 18" wheel, I believe the optional 220M, and Comp Pkg 359M for sure are run flat. They better be as the pic shows there is no spare; or room for one!

and P.S.- my 220Ms are run flat Michelins
