I used a hair dryer and worked my way from the bottom up

you have the side cameras, right? did you ever feel uneasy about working around them? my F80 will have side cameras...i'm worried about breaking something about them if I swap out the reflectors.

How much additional time does port install of parts add? A couple days?

[Yas Marina F80]

Congrats! We're around the same time period for ED pick-up (9/25 here), and my F83 Tanzanite finished production July 10th. Interesting as both the F80 & F83 are assembled at Werk Regensburg. What interior is yours? I noticed your also doing PC, when and where is your ED drop off? I'm 9/29 in Frankfurt.

This post made wonder, it is pretty common knowledge that the F80 is built at Regensburg. However, when I run my VIN on the decoder it says that my car is being built in Munich. Maybe the decoder is wrong or not 100% accurate?

I think decoder is wrong, as Munich builds the F30, but only Regensburg is where the F80 is manufactured. Before this generation, all 4 door M3 were assembled in Munich (E90).

Yeah, this is what I pretty much figured. Just thought it was interesting that it came up that way on two different decoders.

I'll be doing Frankfurt as well, but on 10/2.

Simple black interior. I wanted the brown but didn't want to spend the extra $$.

Pick up on 9/19... can't wait!

Bimmer.work is a good one. Until your car finishes production you'll see a dummy/placeholder production date, but you can see everything else about your car in the meantime.

That is what I use. Also when you join MGruppe they give you a report from a separate decoder and you qualify for corporate fleet discount immediately (although it doesnt apply to ED)

Wow I got my VIN, and it works!!!



Does this mean that it ended production today? Or is this just some kind of anomaly since I'm searching today but the car is still in production?
