550 ordered-At Port (1/30)

Hunter399 · 02-01-2012, 12:13 AM

My 550 just reached the port on 1/30, headed for California... Anyone else waiting for a boat?

Ready for it to be here already!

My 550xi is on the Carmen and in transit to Baltimore. Can't wait for it to arrive. Should just make it before I need to make another payment on the M3.

Im also moving from an M3, what prompted the change for you?

A number of reasons. Biggest was lack of space. I went from sedan to coupe. Initially I was fine with the change, but I do tend to shuttle executives around quite a bit and watching them squeeze into the M3 has never been fun.

The second is wanting AWD.

And finally, I think I've just grown out of the "racecar" phase. The 550xi - especially after I tune it - will be the wolf in sheep's clothing I've been wanting.

Mine was loaded on the Toronto 2/2. Sat at port for almost a week before getting on a boat.

Mine is on the Turandot. Expected to arrive in Halifax on the 27th.

Looks like the boat is waiting to go thru the canal!
