I’m confident I’ll take delivery Black Friday or Saturday next week. She just hit VPC yesterday.

I have homes in both NJ and NYC let me know as well

What’s beautiful machine. Feels like a more grown up version of the F80 I once had. Took the wife out for a drive and received the wiferly thumbs up. All is good in the world.

Ordered 8/25, now in transit to dealership delivery date is Wednesday 11/25. 13 weeks... will it be worth the wait?

[ashmostro]

Only you can answer that!

All good there. Please post pics when you get a chance.

To the NJ folks, are you down to meet sometime before the end of the year? Cold weather doesn’t bother me as long as there’s no snow, ice or salt.

I could post in the regional thread but that area of the forum is dead.

I noticed several of us opted for the black wheels too.

Yes, I haven't even gotten mine yet, but mine said she's glad all of the drama from the stop-sale seems to be behind us now. She said I'm more of a pleasure to be around now again and not as grouchy lol

Count me in for the NJ meet-up before year's end (Somerset County too). It would be great to see all of these beautiful machines that we all have uwaited so patiently for

Ditto on the weather conditions. Especially if I don't have my winter tire set-up yet. I'll probably drive the X1 during crummy weather while we still have it.

The black wheels do look amazing, especially with the red calipers. I heard ceramic on the wheels works wonders on brake dust prevention and clean-up. Can't wait. I'm guessing I'll have mine by December 1st or so.

Is very peculiar that all the apparent movement of cars is happening with those at the NJ port, isn't that weird ?
Know for a fact that Baltimore, moves more Bimmers at that port.
Who else have cars that have been parked at the VPC in Baltimore for over 3 weeks and still tracking showing at port ?

I heard similar from the fiancée too. Like someone else here said, 620 HP will do that.

I’m undecided on buying winter tires on this vs. my S60 R. Think I rather subject the Volvo to the salt and winter grime. Though if we have another winter like last year, I won’t complain.

Put a little solder on the tip of the plug and it should work.

No issues so far. I had it in my 2019 911 C4S, but also use it currently in my 2018 BMW X1 as well as my fiancée's Mercedes C450 without issue so must be universally ok.

[hdahman]

I wonder will this SW update affect the car performance by any means?

[ashmostro]

Shouldn’t do, without also changing something else (which is always a possibility). The “fix” in its pure form is just meant to correct a scenario where an emissions system failure that should but isn’t tripping a CEL, actually does.

Ok, thanks

Supposed to pick mine up tomorrow evening, hopefully that remains the plan and no hiccups

[ashmostro]

Best of luck!

Missed this yesterday.

Mine was supposed to enter the Baltimore VPC this past Friday. Hope I’m not looking at 3 weeks.

[Crumbs]

Happy to see you guys get your cars

[rccarps2]

Picking mine up at 3:30, today. Will put up some pictures, tonight.

[hdahman]

is the SW for M5C the same for X5MC?
