Good luck to both of us! The updated bad news is they don't open until April 30th.....

Damn it. You serious? It'll be July before I get my car.

Good luck is certainly what we will need at this point... I just reserved a rental car for the month after I turn in my lease in July. Can always cancel it if I don't need it, but the rate is only $30 more than my car payment. Of course I'll talk to Infiniti to see if they will extend my lease, but at least I have a backup.

It is. It hit "assembly in progress" about 5 days before the MX plant closed.

I could have gone with Princeton BMW, and they totally evolved and are adjusting much better to the 21st century compared to my dealership. This is what I received today from them.

"-Contact-free car shopping with online inventory browsing, off-site test drives, and paperwork delivered directly to you
-Remote vehicle trade and lease assessments
-Complete vehicle sanitization
-Assistance that doesn’t stop, we’re always available online or on the phone"

I don't want anyone to risk themselves for a car but it is nice to see how they are adjusting. We need less paperwork, fewer visits to the dealership, less bullsh*t altogether anyway.

It was originally supposed to be completed by mid-next week and now who knows. My current lease was ending 4/20. Bmw gave me a free 30 day extension which is good. So I'm covered through 5/20 but I won't have a car by then so we'll see what happens.

Yes, it will build at Mexico base on SA's info. My Giulia has lease return at end of June. I hope I don't need to get extension...

My order was placed on march 10th, AWD as well. Got a word from my dealer that it will hit production as soon as the plant reopens.

Well, that sucks! I'm sorry, dude!

My discussion with the dealership today, they did receive cars last week from the Baltimore VPC.

It is odd that BMW could not re-route your car based on how early you spoke with them and the change in society right now. 🤨

Well, my car is at the dealership. I guess I will be picking the car this afternoon. This was not expected since yesterday BMW Genius told me that the car would most likely be shipped on the 17th and arrive around the 20th. 🤷🏻*♂️
Pictures to follow if the car is ready today.

The experience was good. I had to scramble to set up the loan with Navy Federal and insurance information since it was all last minute.
My family and I went to dealership, so they could see the car and do pictures. It's funny we had masks for some of the pictures.
I then stayed and executed the paperwork.
A BMW Genius, from outside the passenger door, did the initial setup and discussion of the car. The BMW Genius stated they would provide a virtual discussion after I had the car for about a week.
All of the delivery was 1.5 hrs. This was very different from my ED back in November 2006 but kind of expected based on the COVID-19 issue.
