my car entered the body shop on 6/8 and exited completion on 6/29.

Left Emden today and is on the Grand Ruby on its way to Davisville, landing on 7/17. Projected date to land Davisville was 7/31.

Car should be at dealer on friday the 24th!

I think my car is on that same ship. Should be ready for pick up around the 7th.

So it sounds like a minimum of 2 weeks in production but could be more. I think my current target arrival date of Sept 4 will probably move up by a week if it entered V260 a week earlier than expected but I guess that would be the rest of the slack tightened up at this point. With my baby boy due Sept 12 I am hoping for every move up in delivery date possible so I can go pick up the car with as little risk of being gone when my wife goes into labor as possible...

Perhaps, but I would think that the chances of you being gone would increase after having picked up a GT4.

Accel, are you going to keep both M3s after the GT4 comes in?

Oh, will we run into each other at our dealer when they arrive from what will likely be the same truck? I also need it a week earlier than our 9/4 ETA because I'm actually going to visit Germany for Labor Day week with a museum/factory tour scheduled. My GTS arrived exactly a week earlier last summer around the same time frame so I'm hoping for a similar outcome. What color was yours Accel?

Your GT4 is already on its way?

Wow! August 7th?

I'm envious.

(As a side note, my 650S Le Mans Edition should be ready for delivery around the same time. So I'll have to find some way to console myself for not having a manual transmission GT4.)

People who buy a GT4 have:

1. No kids
2. Kids who are >18

Your timing is impeccable

My car is supposedly coming one week after you both. (ETA 9/11)

If it comes one week earlier, that will be my birthday!

Let's really hope for the one week earlier...for many reasons.
