I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this delay won't last long.

As echoed by others here who have experienced delays (me included), the car is worth the wait - there's nothing quite like it on the market - so hang in there.
If you opted for the harman/kardon audio system, you are in for a treat as it sounds great. Charles

I rip my own CDs using ALAC (Apple Lossless) or you can also rip your CD’s to FLAC (an open-source lossless format) to store on your hard drive. I then transfer these lossless recordings to my iPhone to play in the car using Apple CarPlay. |

I just checked and a ship which is going to the west coast is in Bremerhaven now. I hope my car gets on this ship even though my car is waiting for RAM. Then maybe the RAM will be waiting at the west coast port when my car gets there.
I also wish BMW would have better communications with its customers. I did order the Harman/Kardon audio system and agree with CJ421! I have one in my 2002 M Roadster and even though I'm not an audiophile I do recognize it when an audio system is doing a great job.

Silver lining: during the wait, the value of my trade increased by $2k so I renegotiated. The car was well worth the wait.

Module = ECU
Guys:
The module that BMW is apparently waiting for is what is called an ECU. These are electronic control units that are made up of a bunch of microchips. Some of the carmakers are delivering uncompleted cars to yards waiting final parts and when the ECU is delivered by their Tier 1 supplier to the yard they can pop the hood and basically plug in the ECU and program the car at the dealer. and its good to go. Better than them not building the car at all. Quote:

What the RAM is = Receiver Audio Module (RAM) is an audio amplifier with integrated tuners.
Made by HK Unit goes in the trunk. You can buy one for a Z4 on ebay for $402.00

I negotiated that price first, then negotiated my trade. During that time my SA (sort of jokingly) mentioned that "if the value of your car goes up while you're waiting for delivery we'll honor that". We knew when I ordered the Z4 that the turnaround time would be about 6 weeks (that turned into 12 weeks). I was concerned that the dealer would decrease the value of my trade because of miles, wear/tear, etc. The week of delivery I checked Carmax/Edmunds, etc and used their numbers to renegotiate my trade. So even though I was frustrated about having to wait so long it really did work out in my favor.

Yes. And the dealer honored it.

Mine too. Does anyone know what the current average wait for the RAM is?
