The configurator doesn't show any Individual details since they're "off the menu" so to say. Congrats on the car! I'm doing a tandem Individual F80 European delivery with my good friend on 4/4. Can't wait!

Well, I expect you will get the good news soon since we are both week 13.

This whole process is kind of funny. We're like a bunch of little kids waiting for Christmas. We get all antsy and can't wait to get our presents and show off what we got. And then while we cheer when others get theirs, there is also that little bit of jealousy!

Congrats on your new car, ED is such a great experience, I did it feb last year. I just ordered an individual M4 but doing performance center delivery this time around. Mine hasn't started production yet.

Thanks and congrats on your car as well. I'm really looking forward to the trip. My son is planning on PCD. I thought about doing PCD as well, but that's a lot of miles to get home. Maybe if they open up PCD in CA...

Thank you, yeah that's kinda like what happened to me, car was ordered from a CA dealer and I'm in south FL so driving it was not at option for me, Looking forward to doing PCD.

Congrats man! If you are looking for a great hotel in Munich check out the Platzl! Also don't forget to sign up for the free limo service provided by BMW from the airport.

Thanks. For our hotel in Munich we are staying at the Leonardo Royal as part of the tour. As for the limo, I've emailed them and reserved our ride. Nice touch that!

I was pretty sure it wouldn't really show individual options. At least the paint color box is some form of blue though...

Congrats on the F80 ED in a few weeks!

Have you thought about having the car shipped from PCD to you? It's an option, but you have to pay the shipping.

Not really. I'd be worried about potential damage from shipping it. Also, we'll have two full track days with instructors at Zandvoort and Spa-Francorchamps on the ED tour. That kind of makes the cost and miles for an east coast PCD with the fairly short bit of track time not really worth it for me.

Production is moving along. Went into body shop on 3/23 and paint on 3/24. By now it is likely the right color. It's scheduled to be completed on 3/30.

This will be well worth the wait! Looking forward to seeing some photos of this one. Especially with the stitching. For our FR we went with the FR stitching on extended black and wouldn't have it any other way. You will be happy. It is subtle but a very nice touch!

Enjoy it! And your ED - well worth it in our opinion

MN2///M · 03-26-2016, 12:15 AM

Yes, the blue stitching on black looks really sharp. I just saw a car with it a couple of weeks ago in person.

Thanks! I'm also looking forward to everyone seeing some photos as that will mean I finally have my car! I also really like your M3. FR was my second choice.

I agree. I really like the color matched stitching. Gives the interior a little extra touch.
