Congrats! I'm still probably about 2 weeks out from delivery and I'm itching outta my skin.

Yea! Enjoy!!!

I’ve never lowered a car, but I did spacers on my e93 from a reputable garage in Buckhead - Butler tire. Then a week later I was going over Spaghetti Junction on the highest bridge (about 70 feet off the ground?) at ~60 mph and the steering wheel started jerking back and forth rapidly. I remained calm and sort of manhandled the thing. Went to the shop, and they said something was loose - this was 10 years ago so not exactly sure what they said. But I decided never to do it again… I’m sure this is an isolated incident, but be careful! With adaptive dampers and my bad back and how well this car drives already I’m good with it as-is. Not much of a wheel gap either.

As mentioned, picked her up yesterday. The car is wonderful. Do you guys know how to upload pictures taken with an iPhone? It keeps telling me the file format is invalid.

you'll need to convert it from HEIC to JPG or switch your iPhone camera to save in JPG. The following link shows you how to switch the camera setting. https://www.imore.com/how-take-jpeg-...s-instead-heic

Take a picture in the best compatible mode and not high efficiency picture mode. The setting can be found here...

Settings -> Camera -> Formats -> "Most Compatble"

Sweet, thanks all. Guess I didn’t realize the forum didn’t support HEIC. It of course has been raining off and on here today, so didn’t get a chance to get out and grab any good ones. I’ll take some tomorrow and post.

Spoke to my SA over the weekend, got confirmation the boat lands on the 10th/11th and then "3-5days" to clear customs and be at the dealer for delivery! Order was on March 4th so timing on delivery is MUCH better than anticipated. Very excited

There's an app HEIC converter (you can use to quickly change them to JPG to upload. HEIC has advantages on the iOS world but most sites won't use them.

Thanks. I was able to use Preview on my Mac to convert some quickly.

Are you on TAIPAN ? If so it looks to be maybe 1 1/2 to 2 days behind schedule from the tracking system I have been monitoring

Forgot to mention this in my thread about picking my car up, but was just reminded when I was in my car. Mine came with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I know that some of the 2023’s were coming in with the Continentals, so figured I’d mention this to you guys still waiting on yours.

Where are the pics??? You can attach from your phone in the app without converting.

Hey, sorry. I made a different thread since I posted some thoughts and didn’t want to hijack this one

Yes. it arrived on the Orion Highway on Apr 29. It's been 'At the port' since May 1.

My CA got the email from the Performance Center this afternoon asking if June 1 was acceptable. I immediately confirmed that it was.

Thanks. It's good to know the Michelins are still an option. I know with some models, it's a total crap shoot as to which brand of tire you get.

I've had both Michelins and Contis. I prefer the Michelins.

Just to confirm this: I received my car a week ago, and now it is in the shop for PPF. I looked at some pics and can confirm that I have the Pilot SS tires as well.
