ilsb, They got a truck today, but no 5's were on it. Guy said they are expecting another one tomorrow that should have some 5's, but did not offer specifics. My CA is out today.

SD535, called sales mgr today but it was a little after 5pm and he could not call his contact at VDC. Told me he would call Friday. They don't seem to know what is going on. Will post if I hear anything tomorrow.

Scott... I'm living vicariously through you right now, brother. Glad to hear your good news... I'd say post a few pics!, but I doubt you are anywher near this forum anymore and probably sitting in the car in the driveway or running another "errand" to the store because you keep conveniently forgetting what you had driven there for the first 4 times.

Chief... quick question... what's the '775' option you've got in your sig?
Also, (and general question for the board) the ZSP package/Sport Auto option adds the normal/sport/sport+ control, right? Or is that only with ZDH?

Got the call!!! On truck that left VPC this morning. Says I can't pick it up til Monday though because of title? Many of people on this site seem to pick up next day...?? Maybe because it's Saturday?
Just glad I'm almost there. Ilsb, he says they are getting trucks "like crazy" now, so I'm sure you'll get similar news soon if not today. (I know... "soon" does nothing for you..) Scott, White is niiiiice. Congrats! Final thing... Dealer is trying to get $799 out of me for Tephlon treatment... From what I have found thru search most think it is a waste of $... Any thoughts? |

What is Tephion treatment? You mean the $20 wax job that dealer charges $799 for? Not worth it. Especially if this is a lease car. Have it detailed by someone else using same stuff for lots less money. Just another high profit item for dealer. If dealer can get the teflon wax, you can get it. Even if you paid someone $100 to wax your vehicle you are far ahead of the game....just my humble opinion. BTW, you can get Dupont Teflon Wax at Lowes for about $8.00 that does a great job. Lasts a loooong time. and it is cheap. Just a few hours of your time to apply.

Interesting note: CA said that the final word was NOTHING was done to my car in NJ in the last 19 days... no retrofit.
I saw another post from a guy who already has his car and got an actual fuel system recall notice, but maybe it's an earlier production month issue? Also told "pulling to right" is absolutely not going to be an issue... no further details... whatever that means... Cheers. |

That's what I thought too but the car say it changes it! It handles different in sport mode. Sports + turns off traction control.

Yes, I went in today and signed all the paperwork. Out of respect for your current state of anxiety I won't mention how incredibly awesome it looks even though it wasn't even detailed yet
Leaving without it was hard... |

picked mine up yesterday (in the middle of the concert). Awesome car. Runs perfectly, no pull to right. Everything works. Only problem is that I should have ordered a different color since it looks similar to my 08...my non BMW knowledgable friends won't know it is a new vehicle.

How the heck? Yours must have come in before Friday afterall? I was told no possibility yesterday because no title...
Oh well, tomorrow isn't far. Congrats, and I think you underestimate your friends if you don't think they'll notice the difference in the F10... Black or not. Post a pic and I'll look for you around town. |

West coast is still backed up, with just a very small trickle making it through.
My ETA is still "by the end of the month"...
