I called to add the M-Sport package and I can't because my order went into production this morning... The move my production date from week 16 to today.. week 14.

My M240I finished production on 4/19 as well and is on the ship and will reach Baltimore on 4/30.
I bought the carbon fiber trim for $500 and that should look nice.

Yeah, and Alcantara wheels look and feel fantastic when new, but get pretty nasty after awhile with the oils from your hands. I looked at a used M235i with 11K miles that had this wheel, and parts of it were already slick and shiny. Ew! Also, that red stripe at the top was very distracting, for those times when you're not sliding the car sideways.

Holy smokes that was quick from Prod to ship. When did your car make it to Bremerhaven? Below is my order history to date...

03/08/2017: Order placed - Dealer did not have allocation
03/17/2017: Order placed Status 111 - Dealer did an allocation trade with another dealership
03/31/2017: Order went into Production (status 150)
04/18/2017: Vehicle entered Assembly (status 153) - BMW could not tell me when it went to Body or Paint.
04/19/2017: Vehicle completed Assembly (status 154)
04/19/2017: Production completion date. I got this info from bimmer.work. Confirmed by BMW Genius.
04/19/2017: Released to Carrier (status 182)
04/20/2017: Dispatched from AG (status 190) - I'm told by the Genius it's on its way to Bremerhaven.. unknown if it's by rail or truck.
04/21/2017: Arrived at Port of Exit, Bremerhaven (status 193) Waiting for ship assignment. Was told it should be on a ship in 3 or 4 business days.

BTW, I've been checking the WWL site to see if my cars been loaded on either the Tugela or Theben.. So far nothing is showing when I do a cargo ID search with the VIN.

Where did you find the CF trim for $500 if you don't mind me asking?
