Looks like they only loaded 6-speed manuals on this boat

Boat is now on its way non-stop to Panama, not much to do for the next 12 days or so....that will give a break to the humans on the 1-800# as I was calling them every day

I'll still take a look at this site on a daily basis for sure:

Just confirmed that my M235i is also on the Metis Leader.

Premium Package
Tech Package
Heated Seats
HK Stereo

Anyone know it takes to ship from Port Hueneme to Colorado?

Our favorite boat is making some good progress - the ETA for Panama has moved up by 15 hours! Panama ETA is now 2014-07-20 17:00 UTC (which is 2014-07-20 10:00 Pacific time)

Sorry to hear that - that sucks big time. I would try to talk to a human and if there is still no vessel confirmed, I would ask to escalate as there seems to be something fishy here...

[Liquidpaper]

Well guess who just showed back up on the map near the Dominican Republic...

[disco4me]

Have you heard anything about the monroney / EPA holds that are on the model year 2015's? No 2015's can be delivered from the VPC to the dealer until the holds are removed.

Yup, 2 more days and it's in Panama! I'm estimating my car to hit my dealer in Seattle around Aug 10th (but still hopping for 3-4 days sooner):
- Arrival at Port Hueneme on 7/30
- VPC for a week (have a few M-Perf accessories like the exhaust)
- Trucking from Oxnard to Seattle. Maybe arrival in Seattle on the 7th or 8th
- Dealer prep for another day or two

Again, this is my own estimation. I haven't gotten anything from CA or customer relations agent.

[Liquidpaper]

Yeah, I think I'm going to see mine (assuming the Monroney hold is taken off) the first week of August - no M-Performance accessories at the VPC (Black Kidneys at dealership) and my dealer is about 2 hours south (with no traffic) from Port Hueneme. Here's hoping...

[patbrass]

Metis Leader just popped up within 2 or 3 hours of Panama! Just on VesselFinder.com - MarineTraffic and FleetMon still behind.

[Liquidpaper]

FYI - Check out Martinetraiffic - she's going through the canal zone right now.

[Liquidpaper]

And through the locks . . .

[patbrass]

After being anchored for 5+ hours after crossing the canal (for a reason unknown to me), she's on her way to Port Hueneme, CA with an ETA of Tuesday the 29th @ 11pm!

Are others getting some accessories installed at the VPC? I am but I still haven't locked down the exact list. Does anyone know what would be the deadline for ordering those? (I'm still waiting for my CA to get back to me with a quote).

I'm getting the black kidneys at the dealer, but nothing at the VPC. I hope the Monroney hold is taken off in the next 9 days...

[Cybertronic]

I'm getting, Front splitter Lip, MPE, Diffuser, and side blades installed at VPC.
I've got a '14 so hopefully I'm 1st in line :-)

Just got this quote from my CA for port-installed options. I told him, what the hell, go ahead and order them all!

Z4F – CF Hand Brake: $240.00
ZT1 – Exhaust Tips: $270.00
Z10 – M Performance Exhaust: $1305.00
Z24 – M Perf Alum Pedals: $250.00
Z2S – M Perf CF Shift Knob: $250.00
Z22 – CF Rear Spoiler: $735.00

Actually I'm getting 4% corporate discount so that will be a little less. Those prices include installation and since I'm leasing they are residualized so I'm just paying 37%

The Metis Leader is trackable (for now) on VesselFinder! It's close to Puerto Vallarta

FYI: You cant get Z22 as a PIO anymore. I got this directly from BMW NA.

Yeah, my whole plan of getting all those accessories install at port went south recently. Soon after the dealer sent me the quoted prices and told him to proceed, he came back with telling me that most of what I want is not currently available. The biggest disappointment for me was no more M-Perf exhaust. The alum pedals and CF hand brake are available but not the CF Shift Knob and (as you said) the CF Rear Spoiler.

My CA doesn't know why is that. I'm guessing it's just some temporary availability issues with parts? Or is this a permanent change?

In my case, I'll get the CF Shift Knob and CF Hand Brake from SunMotors and install myself. Not sure yet about the CF Rear Spoiler. I won't be able to residualize those accessories but SunMotors prices are so good that it's not too much higher that the residualized price of PIO if you're installing yourself.
