Finally on a ship- Bishu Highway

yaymitch · 12-14-2016, 02:35 PM

My M240i finally on its way to the US. Anyone else aboard the Bishu Highway?

WolfGTI · 12-14-2016, 09:10 PM

Mine has been showing 'In production' for 2 weeks now.

Mine still shows 'end of production' on the BMW site. Have you tried calling genius? 800-831-1117.

Thank you - no I didn't try that. I just called - it said vehicle is in production and will be end of production 12/15/2016.

Maybe talk to a customer service rep...you're probably on a ship...make sure to ask which ship you are assigned.

Well, crap. My car (or the ship) was supposed to be in Galveston port on 1/5

It was delayed until 1/7 and has now been sitting off the coast anchored since the 7th and is scheduled for 1/13. WTF? So painful.

Car arrived on Friday last week. Completed all the paperwork yesterday. Here it is after LSD added, waiting to put on MPE and diffuser. Next up, tint and a C-Quartz finest. Pick it up on Saturday. Can't wait to finally drive it.

Yaymitch-Congrats on the new car. Did you have the option of adding the LSD at the port?
I have a 240i on order and the dealership claims that the port install is no longer an option. Thanks! David

No, I had to have it installed at the dealer. Apparently, the port installed LSD is a thing of the past...at least for the M240i.

Thanks Yaymitch for the response. It's tough getting a confident answer out of BMW.
