Holy crap is that real life ?!

Although 5/7 the blue is far superior to the poop brown, but that ain't none of my business.

There are options. We can place another order and watch it closely and it will arrive in January. If there
is an alternate color combination that I can search the United States for and get a car sooner for you, then please let me know. I know that's not what you want to hear and I sincerely apologize for the error and that it was not caught sooner. I hope you will let me make it up to you."

I'm trying to keep this in perspective by realizing that seriously complaining about this while millions less fortunate in the lottery of life are scraping for rice in the middle of civil war atrocities in Africa makes me a giant asshole. I will now take this under submission and shut up. Kthxforlisterningbros.
Breh,

Very sorry for the Panzer major malfunkup. The car life should not be so stressful when getting it right should not involve PHD level math and comm skills. If they are offering to work to make it right then engage them forcefully but fairly, and also bring in the mothership of BMW USA to assist in the assault.

No f!#@$!@#$ing Estoril forum :bruh: s. We're going to order that mother F@!$#!@#$er as many times as it takes to get it right. No word back from Crevier BMW.

Champagne Quartz Metallic or death, man. There are plenty of bros out there plying the streets in their Estoril Blue 2 series with full bolt ons and E85 yo! It is just not my car.

Crevier is probably too busy :dillerman: to be bothered by your single order...or to follow up properly to make sure the car is fucking built properly. That's some serious :disappoint:

And that may be how I get treated. We'll see. The fact is that we have a third vehicle and we're not getting the right paint on fancy luxury vehicle we ordered. Even if I was worth 50 million dollars, I would never lose sight of that basic truth.

Fuckups that people should be really mad about are maintenance gouges on people trying to keep their work transportation running. We are fortunate enough to have 3 cars. That's why we could sell the Benzo whenev.

You go girl. Fuck them telling you to prefer the color they think you should prefer and stick to your guns and get what you want and paid for.

Yes man. Benzo is gone. My point is that I didn't have to wait to get a new car before we got rid of it, and we didn't. THAT SAID, we would not have gotten rid of it if we knew getting a new car was going to be a 1/2 year process.

ZERO UPDATES, :bruh: My email requesting a vehicle from Thanksgiving until the arrival of the new order remains unanswered.

Nah she takes a lot of Mondays off and has never left an email unanswered. It may be "up yours" but I will get an answer.

The whole rich man's card thing is not really my style, although I won't rule it out. To be honest the whole custom color thing is so half assed for such a huge car company. (Order Estoril Blue, then have somebody call Hans and Franz in Munich and change it 1 month later :wtf: ) that my concern is that if I go somewhere else the exact same thing could happen, and at least when you've fucked it up once it stands to reason you'll be making sure it gets done right the second time.

We shall see. It's disappointing thus far, but as noted above, hey, life's still pretty good.

This is so fucking stupid. Everything is computer based anymore. Just make a goddamn check box on the computer for a custom color and provide the paint code for it.

Sexual Chocolate 440i ordered again. No free car for 2 months, but the $1950 paint charge is comped, which is very fair. If you asked me at the start of the order whether I would have waited two more months for $2K, I would have said yes. Off we go.
