Makes sense. But with this whole corona crap and then shutting everything down it's easy to believe. I personally think it's a load of BS

Philadelphia 1918:
Decided to have a parade despite Spanish Flu outbreak. It became one of the hardest hit US cities with 12,000 deaths. There is nothing wrong with SENSIBLE caution however there should be no panic. I feel we didn't take this virus serious enough a month ago (USA) It has had a massive effect on my work with China/Taiwan for two months now.

We are not all going to die but a whole lot of people will. This isn't going anywhere anytime soon. We don't need to go in full panic mode but we also can't act like this is a load of BS when thousands of people are dying and many more are about to. |

It is a free world. You can say whatever you want. I hate the media but I care about the health of others. Us sitting here normalizing this can encourage more people to go out there and spread the virus to more people. I don’t trust the media. I believe scientists and health officials and I have friends and family friends in the industry that tell me this is very very real.

By no way was I "normalizing" anything, just stating that this whole thing has completely induced public panic and put people on the extreme opposite of the spectrum. Now people who actually need food and other supplies bc their life depends on it, can't even purchase common items due to all of the healthy ppl buying up all the masks, gloves and whatever else they think they need for the apocalypse. This is way off topic and I'm not political by any means but sometimes ppl just can't think for themselves IMO.

Hey gang! I spend a lot of time over in the off-topic/political side of the forum already, so let's get things back on track here. Everyone stay safe! Wash your hands, and don't lick doorknobs!
I called BMW today, as my car still has the 'At The Port' status. They said it was released to the carrier on the 10th and could still arrive at the dealer today! If I get a chance today to call my dealer and get their status I will, but it seems the website just hasn't updated! Cheers friends! |

Hi All, I just ordered my M340i xDrive. I was wondering if any of you faced any problems for the dealer on ordering dravit grey, Some posts here are saying dravit grey isnt available for this year, is that true? I did not hear anything on my order about it. It's in scheduled for production since 5 days.

330i picked from allocation
We selected our 330i m-sport from allocation on 2/12. Dealer called Saturday 3/14 and said it would be a couple weeks yet and asked if we wanted a loaner until ours arrived!!!! I was pleasantly shocked!! Great dealership gesture they wouldn't have had to make!!! Said car was in-transit to Maryland due there on the 20th an should be here on the 28th. He said is does have a stop sell order however,which in my experience just means they have a service requirement before they can sell it... Anyone else have this stop sell issue???

After ordering my new car around December 5th and having to wait until January 23rd for the order to be received, I finally got my new Sunset Orange M340xi this afternoon. I don't have a place to upload my pictures so I uploaded some pictures. I did have to scale them way down in size in order to be able to upload them.
My X3 that I was driving before getting this car makes a cameo in a couple of the pictures.

Excellent! I'm picking mine up Wednesday morning.
It's been fun here! Once I take delivery though I guess it's off to the F48 forum, where there are about 4 posts a day

Nice! Where are you located? Mine was supposed to be today but now saying the 18th.
Also, did they have to re run your credit app? They did mine and said they're going to honor my trade in value which was valid for 90 days so I'm hoping that still holds true. Wish I knew I had to re lock in the rates at the 60 day period and was never notified by my dealer that was a thing. Curious what yours is saying on the finances since we both had long waits?

No mention of having to rerun my credit, and I have monitoring so I know they haven't done it either. We (Wife and I) negotiated the M340i deal at the same time is a new X3 M40i, with the trade ins for both. The dealer should honor the trade in value we agreed on as nothing with the car has changed much. |

Been a hell of a ride so far and at the end of the day they said they honor my originally agreed upon pricing but it took me months of negotiating until I decided to pull the trigger with this dealer.
