My wife is already sick of me pouting about how I should have got the B&W. Like the title of this thread says, I need an intervention!

So your build was scheduled to be complete on the 11th but you saw movement on the website on the 10th? Is that correct?

Yes it has been moving all day. Now it has been stuck in quality check since like 4pm. That's the second to last step before the build is complete.

Don't worry about that. The tracker isn't always accurate. You can plug the last 7 of your VIN into the Mdecoder website and see if your car populates there. Mine popped up right away there when production was done, before I had any tracker updates confirming such.

That's awesome! You should call customer relations and have them check your tracking; see if you've been assigned or released to a trucking company yet. They should also be able to give you your dealer ETA.

Just called. He said it was assembled yesterday but he doesn't have the shipping information yet but it should be going out in the next few days. Sounds like I should be picking it up by the end of next week.

Call them tomorrow for a carrier update. As soon as it's released they'll be able to give you your ETA. I realize you're not too far from the factory but who cares. The few seconds when they say "hold on let me pull up my tracker" are such an adrenaline rush LOL

Lol, you should have gotten that guy who was bragging about his deal to negotiate for you.

Picking up today. The dealer was kind enough to send a driver to pick me up. I'm 100 miles away.

It’s getting to that time when all are cars are going to start showing up! Can’t wait!

Just as an aside...I’ve custom ordered before and had to wait but I knew that going in. This BMW purchase kind of “snuck” up on us so the impulsive nature of the sale and the wait are not compatible! But it’s almost over...

Next step is we need to stick around and counsel those who also “need an intervention”!!

Nine pages of posts and this is easily my favorite.

Spoke to my SA and he said it should be in my garage next week!
