The Eagle has landed!!!

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I just got back from my dealership. I am waiting for PDI to get done and I need my car to get Xpel'd. I hope there is an M2 template soon! I want to take her home (which I'd be able to tomorrow if it weren't for the fact that I want paint protection)!!! Anyway, enough of my blabbing, here are the pics...

CONGRATS!!!

But seriously WTF. Everyone around me, PA, south Jersey, EVERYONE knows about their car or has it already.

Here I am, sitting, wondering about my car, and I've heard JACK SHIT. I don't even know when to schedule pick up to have it shipped out to Colorado.

Glad that the bullshit is ending for everyone else, for me, I'm still standing in a pile of shit and there's much more shit I have to walk through.

Maybe a stupid question but have you called BMWgenius? I did yesterday and it wasn't even scheduled, but today I hear it's on a truck and will be at the dealer tomorrow. I think my calling yesterday and explaining its paid for and has been in port since February may have moved it along... Worth a try

+1

Honestly I basically harassed my dealer anytime someone had new info since he wasn't very forthcoming. It went from next week to tomorrow in a matter of 24 hours. If it's something you've put a deposit on or paid for, it's up to you to keep following up and not take no for an answer.

I'm going to try that now. Thanks!

And again, congrats.

Kind of envying LBB but I think I'll be happy with my stealthed MG.

But LBB looks so good.

This is the first time I saw LBB on an M2 and boy am I glad that I checked that box! I saw it on an X6M and wasn't sold, but it looks GREAT on the M2!

Dude.

You are the fucking MAN.

Just called BMW Genius:

"Hey this is Chris"

"Hey Chris, this is Alex. Let me explain all this shenanigans"

*explains all the shenanigans*

"Alex, ugh, you made this phone call at just the right time"

"Wait really? What, uh, what do you mean by that"

"I mean that your car just left the port two hours ago. It'll be at your dealer tomorrow."

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :h elp::danc e::drink :

Get a good installer of the paint protection material. You do not want a pre-cut kit to start with. You want someone that will do a custom job to protect the paint without all the pre-cut joints that you get from a kit.

Yea, I hope that the installer can do it without a template. I'm just afraid it will be wayyy more than I want to spend being "custom".

At any rate, this car looks sooooooo much better in person. I was literally blown away when I saw it today. My CA started it up for me while it was in the middle of the PDI (Tech was on lunch) and it sounds fantastic stock. There is a funny picture of all the people who work at the dealership ogling it and my CA said everyone was going nuts over it haha.
