I've already seen my car, I did european delivery. Which makes the wait even more grueling, because I've already tasted the power on the autobahn, now I want to unleash it on the streets of Chicago

We do have a couple of (slight) advantages Then again, 80d Christmas is definitely not a "PRO". Nearest (decent) slope is a 4.5 hour plane ride away. Humidity in the middle of Winter is just pitiful... But yippee, we can BBQ in JAN.

Feel any better??? LOL

Cool! Congrats man! Take some pics.....

Wonder where mine is now? lol When did they call you?

[cipher5]

Mine was dropped off last night. Car was prepped this morning. I called my CA.

[XxLancaxX]

They said a truck just showed up about a half hour ago and dont know yet whats on it so im hoping my car is there....Not looking good though.

[XxLancaxX]

Ok..... Now,

They just told me my car left VPC just yesterday and for some reason the car sat their for 8 days??? They said it should be here on or by SAT? This makes no sense and is the biggest bullsh*t ive ever heard. Im going into the dealer tonight. "They want me to do all the paperwork so they can close out before the end of the year." Im not writing a single check to them until I have the car. Was planning on just paying the car of right there but no way am i doing anything until I physically see a damn car. //end//rant// lol

AGREED, So let it be written, so let it be done, WHEN the car shows and not before... so say us all?

[cipher5]

Lanca, definitely only sign once you have car in hand.


OMG, I missed my car so much. I feel so relieved to have her back! I configured my settings and my ipod touch comes in tomorrow (using flash drive for now). Got my snow tires put on just in time, tomorrow we have a lot of snow in Chicago, I'm ready to battle the streets. I'll post pics once I get her cleaned up and there's some daylight!

[gerrydirish]

Lanca,

NO CAR = NO CHECK.

Especially with all the waiting you have done. You would be doing them a favor and what are you getting in return? Nothing!

I hope you get it soon and that it all works out for you!

Cipher, glad you have been reunited with your baby!

600 miles for me since pickup on 12/23..............

Who else is still wating for cars from Integrity???

[XxLancaxX]

Thanks for the support guys. Im definately NOT writing or giving them a penny until i physically see the car. lol. Its like it doesnt exist anymore. Well tomorrow is another day, Since my car left the port yesterday it should be here tom since its about a 15 hour drive. Hopefully......

Check it over CLOSELY before writing them a check. Don't forget that the VPC is also where BMW can perform repairs that may have occured in transit. On my delivery, I even got the checklist on each step from Bremen all the way to the VPC indicating if any damage occured (9 signatures along the way) I also picked it up "in the wrapper"

BMW doesn't have to disclose damage unless it results in excess of 3% of car value. Anyway, let's hope it was just a space cadet in South Carolina losing track of your car

Who do we have left now, raleedy and Lanca?

[raleedy]

Me, for sure. cipher5, let's see some pix!

Cipher, CONGRATS!

The OP of this surprisingly long thread has finally been reacquainted with his car!

Let's keep this thread going until everyone gets their cars.

I too am very interested in the Zeckhausen CDV, and while I am not shy about getting my hands dirty under the hood, this project has that voice in my head screaming doubt.

By the way, I love your exterior/interior combo. I knew that I had to have Saddle and Gray Poplar, but the exterior color caused many sleepless nights as I oscillated between Monaco and Montego Blue. I love my choice, but then again, I love the e92 in pretty much any color I see.

Hi ManyMoonsAgo, I think I may just have the work done for me. I was quoted $50 for the effort. To do it myself, I'd need to pick up some ramps, power bleeder and some brake fluid.

I happen to be only a few miles away from the Zeckhausen facility and they recommended a local exclusive BMW shop. I would actually be comfortable letting my regular mechanic take care of the job as it's a fairly simple valve replacement and line bleed.

I will post my impressions once I have it done. Keep in mind that if you hate it, you can always have the original CDV put back in.

I originally wanted to go with Montego Blue, but compromised with the wife on color. She loves the Monaco Blue and now that I've had it for a week and a half, I love it. But, like you said, I don't think you can go wrong with any color.
