KillHour posted:Why the gently caress isn't my car on a ship yet, BMW? I'm going on my third week of sitting at port waiting for your lazy asses! What was your build week? I was assigned 28 but got done a little early in 27, ended up on a boat on the 28th I think? There were week 29 builds getting on boats ahead of me. If I'm lucky I'll see my car right at the end of august, but with the way logistics are these days I am not holding my breath.

I’ve ordered 2 BMWs now and every time it leaves Germany it feels like it takes over a week to show up in the system after it leaves port. If you want to waste time there’s marine tracking apps that show ships leaving Bremerhaven and cross reference it with whoever BMW is using now to ship cars these days. Not that I’ve ever done that myself.

Morning Carina left Friday and is due in NY on the 23rd. It's really depressing when you think "maybe I'm on that one" and you were not.

This is the third ship I'm holding out irrational hope for. Other lunatics on bimmerpost will tell everyone what ship they're on once it's confirmed and if you're still at port when that happens, you literally missed the boat. Edit: and the third is the charm I guess, because the website updated with in-transit this morning along with all the other bimmerpost psychos. So I guess I'm on the Morning Carina after all. Double Edit: Just got off the phone with my broker to go over the final numbers. It's me - I'm the idiot paying 1200 real american dollars per month for a 3er lease.

Out of curiosity, how does $1200/month compare to BMWs usual lease deals?

There are basically no discounts to be had on the car, manufacturer incentives are terrible, residual for 12k miles is 56%. People are climbing over each other to get one and BMW is cashing in on the hype. I literally needed a broker just to get one at MSRP with base MF.

Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair! I've never leased a car, but honestly I'd be so tempted to spec something like that, just to tank the residual/walk away from it. And hey, I bought 2 German cars last year, a 2020 and a 1997, although funny enough I think they've appreciated.

The broker says the $699 doc fees are typical for NJ and even he has to pay them  Great - NJ doc fees and NY taxes. My favorite.

I wish I could get a M3 for $1200 a month. In Canada that will get you a fully loaded M340i. A nicely equipped M3C would go for around $2200 a month.

That's with all taxes and fees bundled into the monthly payment, no down payment and 15k miles a year, but yeah.

People are climbing over each other to get one and BMW is cashing in on the hype. I literally needed a broker just to get one at MSRP with base MF. Odd, I walked into a dealer and had a hassle free order with no markup. About an 81k build (purchased, not leased). Pre-traded in a 2 year old C7 GS w/10k miles on it for about $4000 more than I paid for it originally. So my monthly is under 1k. Order was put in on June 12th, so I didn't even need to wait that long for the build. Granted, I walked out of 2 dealers before finally finding one that wasn't a shithead. Dude has been with BMW for 17 years and had zero fucks to give about any pressure tactics or markups. The only dumb fee was some $200 etching that I had them remove. It's honestly one of the most straight forward buying experiences I ever had. Crunchy Black posted:I mean we are talking about post-modern USA so large asterisk but, who the gently caress can afford that!? idk. Be 44 and single with no kids? Embracing the absurdity of being a techbro helps too I suppose.
