Any of my f8x brothers on it heading to Port Hueneme, CA?

I'm the only F1X member with one on the way at the moment (it's a lonely forum) , but I want to share in this tracking experience with my fellow M brothers!

Ordered -
2016 BMW M6 coupe
Frozen Black exterior
Opal white full merino leather
6 speed manual transmission
Exec package
20" 343 m wheels powder coated black

Can't wait to meet you all and let's share this brutal excitement!

Congratulations. I, along with many others are really excited to see your car in the flesh. Make sure you post some pics here even if it isn't an F8x.

M6 cars are too rare to have huge forum support. Sucks as it's a fantastic car. 6 series has the best BMW interior by far.

Thanks man, I hope everyone here posts their first photos of their cars before branching off into their own threads. Hopefully the moderators can make the exception on mine

Its going to be amazing, im grateful to have a first kind (as far as builds) go so I really hope others can appreciate it. I know I will. Kinda scary knowing it's already popular over at my dealership (6 spds are rare in SoCal let alone the interior/ext of the car) and it's not even here yet! Can't say I fault their curiosity

3 weeks away!

Mods won't care about you posting pictures in this thread. You could be getting your car just as I drop mine off.

6spd in an M6 is a unicorn as is; your dealership is going to be drooling over that car. Make sure they don't make it a showroom display before they have you pick it up.

Dropping yours off?? Are you doing ED? Or are you returning a vehicle??

Good advice! The last thing I'd want to see is someone else's jean dye on the white leather when I pick it up!

Almost @ Southampton!

Hahaha nice! I'm going with supreme since they're local to me.

I'm leaving the m6 stock (with the exception of swapping out the front reflectors to frozen black and front grill to black immediately)for about a month or so and just enjoy it in its natural glory.

Then comes the wheels, the jb4, the drop, etc

Nice! Yeah that's an NYK line that's why when you would look it up on the 2Wglobal site- nothing came up.

I know a few of the 2series folks are on it! It's a slightly different voyage but hopefully our cars can "share a cocktail" at the vpc

Mr.SugarSkulls · 07-01-2015, 09:59 PM

And we're ready to leave the UK- next up...two weeks of Atlantic crossing

Hope none of our cars get damaged during this next big step!

wazzza · 07-02-2015, 12:45 AM

Those two weeks of nothingness will be tough! Hopefully cars don't catch on fire (like they did on some other ship recently) :/

At least it'll give us a break from checking the marine traffic site for a bit.

Not going to lie...past few nights since I've known it's on it's way, have been very hard to get a good nights rest

Mr.SugarSkulls · 07-02-2015, 05:53 PM

And we're gone! Off to Manzanillo, Panama!

wazzza · 07-03-2015, 12:31 PM

Hahahaha I'm strictly an app user on my iPhone.

Are we seriously the only two Ms on it?! There's gotta be some other people here waiting for their babies to come home

Mr.SugarSkulls · 07-03-2015, 08:02 PM

Trotting along.....

Now she's out of range

Be safe, Glovis Courage!

Looked at the phone app, says $3.99. Too expensive, I spent all my money on the M4! Lol

What do you mean by Out of Range? We don't get to see status anymore until it's close to Panama?????

That's what it says on the marine traffic site.

And I'll suck it up! I'll buy the app tonight

You might be able to see her as she passes the Azores and then the Dominican Republic. Then Panama. If you use fleetmon.com you can track her via satellite for a modest fee - tracking one ship is about 16 bucks for 2 weeks. See what I was able to do on the Cronus Leader thread.

Hmmmm...16 Bucks isn't much, but I don't know if I want to pay that knowing it'll eventually get here. That's like... 3.5 gallons of gas I could put in the m6 in LA!

Maybe you'll pay for the tracking?! Lol it sucks it's just us two! Hahahaha
