It's getting real now (another newbie F31 order)

Hello

I've been following this forum for the last few months.

It's been very informative, so much so that you've all enticed me to order an F31 335d

Anyway, I've been tracking the BMW VIN decoder, and it says the production date is today! Not sure if that means the car is due to start production (but at least exists in spirit) or it has been completely built.

In any case, I'm picking it up in March! Can't wait!

Welcome the the forum!

That's great news! My car showed built on 30/1, it arrived at the dealer last Friday 7/2. So, fingers crossed you should see it land soon.

Thanks!

Compared to others on this forum I'd probably say "mid-range" in terms of spec. So I'll compensate for that by spacing it out a bit

Estoril Blue with black Dakota leather

Professional Media

M Sport + package

Visibility package

Interior comfort package

Adaptive M suspension

Heated front seats

Reversing camera

That's all. I was very very tempted by the HUD and surround view. But I stayed *extremely* disciplined and did not change the spec at all after I put in the original order!

Dealer has said delivery in week 10.

But I am picking it up at the end of March.

That will give me some time to sell my current car, a MY08 Honda S2000. It's going to be quite a contrast...

I must have been the last car on a boat or something... Took them nearly two months to build it though...

Thanks, I agree, plenty of toys especially when compared to what I am used to now. Even parking sensors are a novelty for me

haha that remind of the late 90's when playing with font sizes/line spacing in word trying to pad out my essays in your case nothing wrong with that spec!!

Anyone know - My car has been built a while now and at dealer but when checking the VIN website (I think it is F890123 as it matches my spec 100%) the production date keeps changing to that day?!?!?! has been doing that since early jan.
