Now at "Dispatched from Factory".
Called the genius line and they said expected in Richmond May 9. Pretty wild it takes that long to make it across country! I drove across country about 20 years ago and it only took me 5 days, and that was only driving 8hrs per day I guess I have the M5 for a couple more weeks.

Is it going by truck or rail?

Rail to Richmond CA, then truck to dealer.

Thats a long trip. Mine was pretty quick. Still better than Germany to US.

This is both exhilarating and torturous - going thru pregnancy of your car. I would rather have it - I am sure members here are hyper into their cars (duh) so we would rather know than not. But it does create anxiety lol.

Update: Now I’m at 153.

Jumped through 3 spots to Carrier assignment.

Great news!

Anyone pickup their 2024 m60i yet?

[ren]

Our M60i was manufactured on Monday, and left the factory last night. It should arrive at my dealership soon, but unfortunately I can't pick it up before the weekend due to my work schedule.

Looking forward to your thoughts after your pickup.

Just fyi…even though my garage says my x7 40 is awaiting carrier, my dealer confirmed it was delivered to the dealership yesterday. Definitely not real time tracking.

Thanks. The tracking they provide is then not of significant value. German computers must be really slow

Actually, if I use the Developers Console, the server time appears to be Europe, so it may actually be in Germany. The inputs though could be from Spartanburg.

Just went to "Awaiting Carrier" without going through "Final Assembly" so I wonder if I will get a discount

You may get a 1% markup for early delivery

Thank you!!
I haven’t driven it yet. It’s for my wife and she loves it so far, she’s just a little afraid of all the tech. But I love the looks and fit/finish. Really premium.
