My M2 is in the good old U.S of A.

Waiting at the port in Baltimore

paradoxical3 · 02-15-2016, 09:45 AM

Same here! Let's keep our fingers crossed things go quickly and smoothly and they don't get stuck in port forever.

dt34 · 02-15-2016, 10:08 AM

I'm just hoping Frank Sobatka doesn't "misplace" the container

paradoxical3 · 02-15-2016, 10:09 AM

BTW, if I were you I would black out the VIN number in your post. Especially if you are hoping for early delivery...would hate to see someone call your dealer and say it can't be sold, or for BMW North America to see it and block delivery.

dt34 · 02-15-2016, 10:12 AM

Done thanks. Forgot about that in all the excitement =D

gmzanatta · 02-15-2016, 10:24 AM

Good luck waiting until April 16th! It's torture

dammitcubs · 02-15-2016, 02:38 PM

I hate you. With a passion. Nothing personal, just the sorrows of a man quite a way down the waiting list.

Think about this! It's being held at some storage lot for a few months next the the ocean with flocks of seagulls after crossing the Atlantic in the middle of winter.

I was just thinking the same thing.

I Refuse to believe it will sit there until April 16th. It makes NO sense that they would build and ship hundreds of cars to have them sit in a parking lot in Baltimore or wherever. After all, that space would cost money. Why not keep them secure at BMW & save some euros.

Agreed. The cars don't even have EPA approval yet

I just got confirmation from BMW. Cars will be held in port until mid april due to EPA. Damn.

I called this. I actually discussed it with my sales advisor and we spoke of the government being in absolutely no rush (especially with it being a new model) to get around to this. It's unfortunate.

I really hate the government. Particularly the EPA. Can't wait to rip the cats off my M2.

By the way, the email said "at least" mid april. Could be longer.

King_Slayer · 02-16-2016, 09:18 AM

So will the cars be sitting outside for almost 2 months??

Unless they have an indoor storage facility, yes.

Maybe you can go and sneak a peek through the fence.
