227 Days.......... My baby is almost here :-)

The day is almost here. I got the call yesterday that my M2 is ready for collection next Tuesday, September 6th. I ordered it on January 23rd so that's 227 days of pure torture, waiting and dreaming about this day that is now just around the corner. I've been reading this forum everyday and sharing in your joy as your baby's finally get delivered :-)

Mine is black with manual transmission, sunroof and HK system. The majority of the extra's seemed to be standard here in Switzerland. I didn't order electric seats. Think that's the only thing missing.

I have ordered the coding cable and will look to get that done ASAP. Thinking of getting the K&N air filter that I've read is a pretty good investment for the money. Looking at Xpel but my insurance covers me for unlimited parking damage with $0 excess so perhaps I can use that instead. Need to think about it. Would love a stealth wrap but the cost might put me off.

Anyway super excited. Shame it's not ready before the weekend as I'm heading to Monza for the F1. Fortunately was given paddock tickets so would have been sweet to roll up in my new baby.

Any just wanted to share the good news.

Congratulations indeed. Your baby indeed....and now enjoy the F1. Maybe Lewis won't have to be back in the grid this time?

I honestly have no idea. I was asking the dealer for all this information over the last few months and he was adamant that this information wasn't available and perhaps it's different in Switzerland. Who know's.

To be fair the time went by quite fast. I've been on my vespa since April when I sadly gave up my Z4.

Vespa to M2, slight upgrade :-)

I started October of 2015 getting on lists etc. My car started production a couple of days ago. I expect it will be a little over 1 year from my phone calls to get on the list till delivery so I feel your pain. Congrats
