Thanks! May be better off, looks like we'll be parking on the street so might as well be the old car!

Just got my 2014 F15. The pictures everyone has been posting does not do the car justice. This car looks and drives like the "ultimate machine"! Here's a quick pic. Will send some more after I stop driving! The 20's are awesome!

Looking nice, which color is this? Black?

HawaiiX5 · 12-08-2013, 04:23 AM

Dark Graphite Metallic. It's very cool.

Congrats, same as my color. Are you in Maui? I bought some parts from the parts manger in December 2012, she is very nice. She gave me free BMW calendars, none in Canada and they charge in Germany. Enjoy, it may be tight around the corners on the road to Hanna. I found it tight with a Jeep compass.

11/5 - order placed
11/8 - 112 status "scheduled for daily production pack"
11/18 - 150 - "in production," estimated completion date 12/2
11/25 - body shop, estimated completion date updated to 11/27

remains to be seen if/how Thanksgiving will interfere with transport, but it's looking like it should be here next week, barring a lost week due to the holiday.. Either way, should line us up for the December program, though I don't have high hopes it will change at all from November.

In the paint shop! (per the 800#, chances are it's really in final assembly now). Shows up on bmwarchive.org now with options.. and a production date of TODAY. Talk about real-time..

Released to carrier! Estimated arrival at dealership Sunday, 12/1!!

If that holds, we should be able to pick up Tuesday or Wednesday!

After a week sitting at the VPC waiting for a truck, our X5 is in transit! Looks like it left yesterday.

Car coming in tomorrow, picking up Monday!!

Got it, love it, still playing with it lol. Will post more later but here for now.

How does she feel? I absolutely love mine!!

Genechen22 · 12-09-2013, 04:17 PM

Is that the Terra leather?

chrisny · 12-09-2013, 04:18 PM

Thanks guys. I'll do a delivery thread a little later on but here's a couple more pics. I love it and keep telling my wife she may be getting my 335

. Just so big and solid and yet still nimble and tight, love the engine and sport auto... Awesome. Everything I missed about my E70 but smoother and more refined and luxurious.

The mineral white is gorgeous and every time I see it I remember just why we switched from the black. Seriously looks 10 times better in person than in pics.

Here's a couple more pics in the meantime.

chrisny · 12-09-2013, 04:19 PM

chrisny · 12-09-2013, 04:22 PM

Here's the specs. Yes Terra Dakota leather

Enjoy Chrisny.
Nice that the front quarter panels air breather is without trim. Some bmw's and other brands have visible black trim, that being not very aesthetic to me. Nice to see the entire side clean 100% white. If the black trim was present it would pull my eye there. Beauty is a sheet of white.

Did they/you drill front bumbper to install license plate?

Yeah they do. No getting around it here. This is my wife's car, not about to have her getting pulled over for not having a front plate.

Thanks Barcelona. I agree on the breather. If those were trimmed in black like some of the 4 series, I would've gotten a black one so you couldn't see a difference...

Speaking of which, saw an Estoril Blue II 428i m sport at the dealership, looks pretty good.

Zipforia · 12-10-2013, 12:40 AM

Chrisny,

Nice ride. My vehicle's status says its at the port awaiting for a shipping vessel. Do you know how long you had to wait until it was shipped?

Also, I have all my fingers and toes crossed that you don't have any issues with the car.

Z.
