Hang in there bro. Not sure what is more painful: No production start or the agony of waiting for delivery

I'm "In Transit" now. The boat is somewhere over the Atlantic. Have to wait for it to hit the West coast. Ugh. I'm actually taking a business trip to Munich in a week and a half. The car should be here by the time I get back.

Trip to München is a good distraction! You can hit the Hofbräuhaus and Welt. Last European Delivery I did I tracked my car out the English Canel, down the Eastern Sea Board, through the Caribbean and Panama Canal and up the West Coast. Had to make sure the ship didn’t sink

Cool story: did an ED in 2011, went with my best friend to pick up an '11 335i -Sport at the Welt. Trip of a lifetime. Waited an eternity for the car to cross the pond. I was at a wedding in Charleston, SC on a patio outside the reception hall that faced the Atlantic. And what should I see sailing by but the very Wallenius Wilhemsen freighter that had my car on it en route to delivery. I received it in Houston a week or two later. Pretty cool coincidence.

That’s hilarious that the universe put you there to see your car sailing by ! Agreed... good story!

Hey TrevorM3- did you really give up on PCD? You're crushing my heart, if so. Was looking forward to your report on the experience, given that mine was there just a few weeks ago. 1266 fantastic miles and counting...

yea man, sucks. My father doesn't want to wait til July for the car. Guess PCD wasn't meant to be, last time i placed an order for an f10m5 it got to carolina then BMW had a recall on the differentials, car couldn't be delivered so i bailed. I know, first world problems

I'm most upset about the fact that a dealer down here is charging 500 for a courtesy delivery of the vehicle. I refuse to give a dealer in south florida a penny.

Delivery is tomorrow morning at the Welt.

Gonna go and find a Mexican joint to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Maybe a couple of margaritas will help me get some sleep.
