Funds cleared. Title and key being sent out today.

Shipper put the car out for dispatch so it should be picked up within a week. I should probably take all my crap out of it now. :lol:

Mob boss Don Pasquale left port and is currently in the English Channel on it's way to NYC. Got pushed back by a day so it's scheduled to arrive 11/30.

Apex ramz will be here next week as well.

The car must be upset or something. The guy texted me saying it threw a CEL for the fuel system. I asked him what the code was but he didn’t pull it yet.

I’ve never had a CEL on this :gorf:

I wouldn’t think so. He said fuel system so I’m wondering if it’s the cold start misfires I had in my previous :gorf:

It was a P0463 for the fuel level sensor. He said it self cleared. Maybe it was temperature or pressure related?

:iono: but I’m glad it cleared.

He did. The truck picked it up at 7 PM Friday and I got a text from him the next day around noon saying he got it.

Ship is still scheduled to dock in NY on the 30th. Then it needs to clear customs, get checked for any shipping damage, and then assigned a truck to the dillership. The good news is the truck ride should only be an hour and a half or so.

The :dillerman: said he needs it for 1-2 days to get it ready. I’ve debated going the full OCD approach and telling them not to wash and detail it but I don’t think they’re back there with squeegees wrecking the paint like the VW diller did.

He’ll have a better idea on delivery day once the ship docks but I still hope it’s the week of the 4th.

My I4 was detailed at a 5/7 level by dealer 1. My IX got a 1/7 scratch and swirl job from dealer 2. And they even a 2mm scratch through the paint down to the primer on it..

Luck of the draw Id say

I’ve gotta call the :dillerman: on Monday so I guess I can ask him how they detail it after the PDI.

Called up the :dillerman: and the interest rate is 6.29%. However, looking on the bmw board, the rate is actually 5.29% but dealers mark it up to 6.29%.

How hard do I try to get them back down to 5.29?

Yeah, it sucks. I can't find anything lower either. Most banks are in the high 6's with some into the 7's.

This is a good rate … the banks borrow at 5.5%. So this is technically subsidized
