I guess they don't really care what I put on the customer satisfaction survey.

Are you in SoCal?

I was informed this morning during my telephone conversation with BMW USA that the plant worked at seven day cycle. Frankly, surprised that they continue the build over a weekend. My best guess is that our M235i, baring any snag should be all completed as of the writing of this missive.

I called after work: production complete and awaiting transfer to port.

My car shares my oldest daughter's birthday.

Congratulations are in order. Cigars and Single Malts to those so inclined.

Thanks Supernaut! Yes, EB trim with aluminum hex. I have the same thing in my current car but it has black leather. I'm looking forward to the Oyster to brighten things up.

I was thinking we might end up on the same boat, but it looks like the East coast and West coast cars get segregated.

I'm doing EB with terra. I like the EB trim, but wasn't sure how it would look with the terra leather in person. So I went with the finewood stead.

I think the dark dash-to EB trim-to oyster will look great!

That's exactly the combo I went with for the exact same reason. EB/Terra/finewood.

Terra was my second choice and I agree that it looks fantastic with finewood. I really like the EB trim so Oyster was the best compliment besides black. Terra with Estoril is going to look awesome...rich.

Well, ladies, I just got off the phone with 800.

It is now the LAST day of production ! My baby is undergoing final quality checks, and will be off the assembly line today.

Xiaoxi · 02-05-2015, 12:20 PM

^That's a good feeling. However, be prepared to wait another week and a half or so until it gets on a boat. More painful waiting.

Thankfully it is over for me.

Congrats! Mine sailed thru the English Channel yesterday. Having exhaust put on in port so you may get yours around the same time unless you have stuff done at the port. Btw the shipping line mine is on isn't the WW line so you may have to search around for schedule depending which line yours gets on. My car took a week to get on a boat. No complaints though...so far so good
