Started a thread of first day pics; share your pics there when you pick it up!!! I'm certain mine will deliver today to the sales center but their stupid prep will be another day to actually take delivery

So I talked to my sales person, and it sounds like it's actually still in transit (apparently Denver deliveries head out to CA first, then get trucked back) - he expects the truck in tomorrow or Wednesday, which means delivery will be Wednesday or Thursday. I'm joining the slight setback club here, but as long as it rolls in before I need to head out of town I'll be happy!

I heard the interior port for the south west is in Oxnard Califorina so that makes sense I suppose

Moved very quickly to Quality Check with a production date of 9/9. Did M Track Days today in Chicago where we got to drag race these X3 Ms and they are really quick and fun to drive.

Picked her up today (pictures to follow when I get some time), but can confirm it remains an Aluminum engine bar, not CFRP. Suspect those might become available after Dec when supposedly the other CFRP ext pieces have been suggested to be offered? And no comment on credit for such.

Did you explicitly inquire about the carbon strut bar or they just didn't mention anything about it?

Sucks, it looks like we all got shafted on the seat belts and the carbon brace. If anything we can all take solace in conquering the spine scorching ride all the journalists have mentioned. LoL

Congrats on getting your car Max Well, another 14 days for us.

Sorry to hear of your delay and the faulty tracking!

I did, actually, mentioning specifically that some online have heard that the CFRP strut bar was going to be available. Heads shook all around, and no one indicated hearing anything about a credit or even when it would be available.

Thanks, Mfan007! I honestly have always thought the strut brace would be an option so wasn’t surprised on that one. Your 14 days will go by quickly!
And to share one image – I did get a chance to at least debadge the Competition from the back end late this afternoon.

For anyone using the MY GARAGE TRACKING....the system isn't accurate...it's way off....my status today shows "at the port" which is supposed to be arrived here in my area before sales center delivery...after calling Genius to make sure; Genius said it left on 9/6 and delivers to the port 15 days thereafter (actual departure from factory was 9/8)....which would be 9/21 and then the sales center says 9/24 to the port....they need to get it together lol; my vehicle is at the port of limbo

[ando]

Agreed. My build was stuck for a while then dispatched from the factory today with a 9/9 production date. My CA estimates my pick up date will be end of this month.

It's been a wild ride...a few others had my status and the next day theirs was magically at the dealership; guess theirs was transported via worm hole...ha

Oh snap!!!!! What happened? Can you find one coming in with the build you requested??? I noticed one with my build (w/driver assist plus) that came in at another sales center...

I did a moonroof delete. Didn't know that it will remove the HUD and other whistles.
Also, I forgot to do mobility kit, which removes the spare tire.

Yesterday, I saw one locally, same color combo but with spare. I didn't like the trunk space with the spare tire there.
I always carry tire plug, so spare tire won't do any good for me but wasting space and added weight.

Spent a few hours there and figured out that my order was messed up. So I place another order today. ::

The spare tire hump looks like crap. I think you can do a m drivers package, remove the pano roof and keep the HUD.

Oh yikes; I didn't know mobility kit deletes the spare; I noticed the hump in the HEA I tested; I didn't mind the hump...but guess I won't have that anyway I got the mobility kit. Good luck with the reorder.

Yea, I have read it somewhere that people is complaining with items rolling and fall out when you open the tailgate.

I texted onfireX5 and he confirmed that I need to order M Driver's Package to keep the HUD and other options.

But then, the guy at the dealer have no clue, so I don't want to make another mistake, just keep the moonroof.

I hope it won't explode when I do take it to track day. Lol.
