Mine was scheduled to complete production on the 29th, and status now says that it has been handed off for shipment. So maybe it is due here in about a month?

Mine is getting delivered to Brunswick on the 15th. I talked to the dealership yesterday and they said the storm should be out of the way in time for the shipping to not be delayed.

My m240i came into the port in CA on 9/21 and I took delivery of it yesterday. It's beautiful and I love the subtle changes compared to my previous 2014 m235i. The gauges look cooler too.

Beautiful car! I'm thinking of ordering a 2018 M240i 6MT (blue as well) too. How's the interior quality / materials? I saw that they've refreshed the design of the interior.

First the cons: the redesign of the front dash trim is a step backward from last year. The panel surrounding the head unit and heater controls dies to the right without marrying well with the right vent. A second grader could have done a better design aesthetically. Storage in the console area is very limited. The console itself is very shallow. The small storage bin in front of the cup holders was eliminated in 2018 to provide a sliding cover for the cup holders. Why? There is no convenient place to store sun glasses, a cell phone, or my multiple car/house keys that won't slide around in hard cornering. (I mounted a small storage pouch in front of the cup holders to solve this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1). The quality of the leather seat material after 1200 miles seems good (but a little stiff), but I have seen complaints of leather peeling off of the backing material on the driver's headrest. I don't have that issue (yet). And finally, the sun visors have no extension to block the rays when turned to shade the side windows. I fixed that with a set of VisorMates which also cover the silly OEM warning stickers on the visors. Pros: The redesigned dash is a soft, good looking material with contrasting stitching. I like it. The seats are VERY comfortable and also have contrasting stitching for 2018. I was pleased to find the door pockets long enough to be a convenient spot to store a small folding umbrella (a nice BMW gift). The 2018 model offers Fineline Pure Wood Trim (non glossy) which looks great with the Oyster Dakota Leather seats. Overall, I like the interior and for me, the nice "wood" trim cancels out the silly dash design. With my speaker mods, resonator delete, and exterior cosmetic adders, I love this car. |
