Week 8 Build!

I just called the BMW Genius number again this morning and went from "it's looking like" of last week to confirmed week 8 build! So figured I'd start this thread for others as well. Delivery is estimated to be the beginning to mid-April, mentally I'll think the 15th.

BSM, manual, Exec, Apple CarPlay, M Perf Package, CF mirror caps

Anyone else!?

Almost exactly the same as my week 7 build, minus mirror caps. Great taste, and congrats!

Black Kidney Grills, Carbon Fiber Rear Spoiler, M Perf Exhaust & Carbon Fiber Exhaust Tips

It's a checkbox that covers most of the options I'd get anyway, cheaper is debatable doing it at ordering time but there were a few reasons I'm building it this way upfront.

Thanks. Isn't it like $5k? Ability to finance the add ons would be about the only benefit. Oh, maybe getting the car home and telling the wife yeah, the car is just loud like this from the factory!
One thing I want to explore is if the car is available with spoiler delete. I ordered my e92 that way. The only thing I don't want to install is the spoiler, I don't want to mess up the trunk and I want to blame someone else if it falls off.
No way I'm buying the exhaust without being able to take it off and sell it later. You won't get it out in resale and the used price will be at least $2k.

With port installed accessories you get a 4 year warranty vs dealer installed 2 year. The original parts would just sit around the garage and basically worthless other than the exhaust. Stock exhaust I'm sure can be had used very easily if I really wanted to change it out and just sell the MPE. I don't have the time these days to wrench on things so just want this one to be finished from the start. Although, I'll get the CF rear diffuser at some point but that's quick and easy to do. I heard they're backordered so didn't want to cause delays in the delivery of the car so didn't order it. It's great to have options!

It looks like there's only two of us for week 8 (2/19 - 2/25) so far, week 7 seems to be a much larger build week. Interesting how they schedule these.

BMW Genius stated the follow as a reference:
~10 days for build
10 - 20 days on ship
5 - 7 days for customs and port installed accessories
3 - 5 days for transportation to dealers
= beginning to mid April delivery

Congratulations buddy!

My Week 7 is still "Production Complete, waiting to be released to the carrier" since Feb 16th. No idea what's going on ...

Sounds like they need more carriers! Let us know as you know more. I'm sure I'll call again tomorrow!

This is what they're saying today: released to a carrier and is awaiting for transportation to a port of exit. Another words, It has it's thumb out looking to hitch a ride to the port!

Here's my latest "your vehicle is at the port awaiting a shipping vessel". I hope it gets on the Porgy, if I'm researching this correctly. It leaves tomorrow 3/2 and is scheduled to arrive Port Hueneme, CA on 3/25. There's a day delay when calling the automated BMW genius so who knows, maybe its already on it!
