Yes, should be a blast. I've heard really good things about it so really excited. Wife and I are going to stop by Savannah on way back to FL afterwards and make a vacation out of it.

Hate to potentially being any bad news to this thread, but anybody here have a Stop Sale in their car? My M440i x drive I was just alerted has a Stop Sale on it because it has Receiver Audio Module issue…it wasn’t installed. It’s currently in transit in a ship called the Hawaiian Highway. Once it gets to Brunswick VPC they’ll put in a work order. From what I’ve read it can take a week to 2 months. Anybody heard anything about this?
I ordered Harmon Kardon.

Man I hope not. Last time I called genius last week there were no stop sales on my car. Also, I stopped at dealer last week to extend my lock in date for financing and there was nothing. I've been waiting since June, that's when I ordered so I don't think I could handle another delay.

renig · 10-06-2021, 06:04 PM

I just called genius. They confirmed i don't have any stop sales on vehicle and it should be unloaded off ship tomorrow. I have HK system too. Maybe because it was built in Mexico is why there's no stop sale?

I picked up my German build m440i convertible yesterday at PCD with Harmon Kardin and adaptive suspension... no stop sale or work orders...did spend more time at the ports on both ends than my 340 last year but all in all 12 weeks from placing the order....

Love it so far....drove to Asheville yesterday, down through mountains in torrential rain today back to South Carolina and off to Charleston for a few days before taking the shore route back home to Baltimore...

Sounds like a nice trip. The trip back from there to Texas is a brutal trek filled with some really bad, rough highways for days..

renig · 10-08-2021, 05:49 PM

Looks like my car has finally arrived at port in Brunswick. Hopefully it goes VPC quickly and there's no stop sales. I keep hearing from genius and dealership thay it's not showing any but I'll believe it once it's on way to PCD.

renig · 10-15-2021, 09:28 PM

Finally have delivery date for PCD!!! October 29th... more than 4 months since I placed the order the week after Father's day. That was the period when they stopped making 2021 and transitioned into 2022. It's been about 3 months since production started. Lots of delays throughout the process. Really excited for PCD!! I basically had to have a temper tantrum for them to make it happen this month but you gotta do what you gotta do!!

renig · 10-18-2021, 08:24 PM

Went to dealer and signed sales agreement this evening. It's officially my car now! In case anyone is wondering there's currently $1000 Worth of incentives for m340i.

Congrats on making it official! If you don't mind, what were the incentives? I thought there was only the $500 loyalty incentive for the month of October.

renig · 10-18-2021, 09:19 PM

$1000 for financing through BMW

I've been asking this same thing.. oh maybe that's only for finance, not for lease?

Yes yes... that seems right. Did you lease yours?? Or did you finance yours?

That’s encouraging. Hope that incentive holds into November and even improves.
And, all dealerships participate.

Anyone join BMWCCA and save an additional $500?
