I'm kinda feeling for you though... 10 more days of waiting, knowing it's right there at the dealer, just sitting there...

Even worse it's like 15 days now! They said I can't pick it up until the 20th!! That if I did the car wouldn't come with a warranty, and I couldn't buy any matienance or other packages… really doesn't make much since to me… but I've waited this long 🤷🏻*♂️😑

I guess as long as the dealerships don't have the cars sitting out where people are breathing all over them I don't have a problem with waiting.

I imagine BMW corporate probably can't stop the dealers from selling the cars early, so withholding corporate benefits like the warranty is probably their most effective tool.

My CA called me today. They just got in a Brooklyn Grey 240, would I like to see it?
Of course! It was being detailed. It is a gorgeous car! A great presence in person. All the design nitpicking is irrelevant. Kinda wished I went wit a red interior. Nice and understated.
Mines at final assembly. Can't wait!
Sorry only one picture. Was in a rush to catch a ferry!

I definitely think the grey looks best with the piano black rocker panels. I got the cognac interior and haven't seen any photos yet with that color.

Hpirx · 11-05-2021, 04:49 PM

I went with Cognac also.

I usually I’m not a fan of BG but here in this picture on this car…stunning.

Hpirx · 11-05-2021, 05:09 PM

Yeah, on the X3's and 4's it's a lot of grey.
On a low car it looks great.

Yea strongly encouraged not to take videos of driving are talk about it. So out of respect for my CA and the New Car sales manager, I'll abide by that lol But I will do it blew my expectations out of the water. And the car is just awesome! No regrets.

Is it just the way the headlights are reflecting off of the paint, or does BG have a lot of metallic in it? In the pic the back end of the car almost looks silver.

I noticed it too.
Yes, the headlight reflection has a lot to do with it. But that's going to be most other car's view 😄.

G42Bama is the left foot rest offset to the outside, similar to the f22?

This should help.

So what is this embargo thing with November 16th or 20th? I thought that was just related to car reviewers can't release any videos until the 20th on the car itself. Is there some issue with getting your cars before a certain date?

My cars sitting at the dealer. And I've been told I can't get it until the 20th.

Wow, no kidding. That is kind of odd but mine is still in "transit" so I guess we are both in similar boats. Do they say why they can't release them?

My CA acted like she had no knowledge of having to hold the cars until the 20th. Here's hoping they let me have mine as soon as it gets to the dealer.
