You're talking to the testers right here on the forum.

I called my CA today, but didn't get to talk to him. I think he might have had the day off. Plus my dealership is in the middle of moving to a new building, so I think they're busy. I will be one of the first to take delivery at the new building, so that's cool.

My car better be on the Elektra.

Ok, I'm tracking the elektra on http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...html?call=siwb.

The callsign is SIWB.

Three stops before NY/NJ. Arrives NY/NJ on 29 Mar then Baltimore on 31 Mar. Sweet.

Most of us on this thread were Week 10 builds, which was the 1st week to build M-DCT cars. Most of us went 111 around the end of Jan. I was bumped to week 16 and then back to week 10 during that time so don't worry to much about getting bumped to Week 19.

I am confirmed on the Elektra. I've posted the data from my car and the schedule for the Elektra.

My confirmation came on this website. http://www.2wglobal.com/www/wep/index.jsp

Looks like my car will be a world traveller with stops in Sweden, Belgium, England, and Canada before getting to NY/NJ on 29 March.

See attachments below.

nusevad · 03-18-2008, 09:34 AM

congrats skier!! Does your car show up when you search your VIN on the cargo search? Mine still shows nothing...but since your car and Pasta's car is on Elektra ill assume mine is on her too~

My OC still says Scheduled for Production too...

Congrats...I'm pretty sure mine won't be on that ship as it doesn't come through SC. Good news is that all of these first productions seem to be moving out. Only a matter of time.

xxruffdmxx · 03-18-2008, 09:51 AM

congrats skier and pasta. I hope mine gets on the boat on the 19th or 20th.

I think you are dreaming if you think you will drive and report on the M-DCT before the press. They will be soon (29th or so) driving Verts with M-DCT. Sorry to be so blunt.

You never know, SKierman's car is due on the 29th, since its 1st priority it will go through VDC pretty fast and since its also in NJ im sure he can pick up the car pretty fast. So who knows, maybe he can write us a review before the press has time to publish anything in a magazine or online.

apw2607 · 03-18-2008, 01:49 PM

SMSgt B should get his car on the 29th I believe. Infact it might be already at the dealer in Germany this week ... so perhaps he can sneak some pictures in of a M-DCT Coupe for us .... hint, hint.

Yes, it is expected to arrive this week at the dealer. My CA will send me some pics when it arrives, and I will try and go see it this Saturday. I am scheduled to go pick it up on the 29th....bright and early morning of course.

Of course you guys will be the 1st of know and see.

What is this metallic trim that you speak of?

From the pics i saw from the M3 Vert it looks like a normal shifter boot, is it going to be like the metal ring for the E46 M3 SMG?
