Also same here dealer has no more information than I do at this point. If it doesn’t move in another week or so after then next boat leaves I will tell them they can find out what’s going on or I will cancel the order.

My car has gone silent and I can't find anyone who can tell me what is going on with it.

I have been thinking of telling the dealer to reorder, but if I can get the Nationwide search to work I will try to find a Z4 which has all the options I want somewhere else in the States.

I mentioned this in another thread, but cars.com can do a nationwide search. There is a white M40i at Schomp.

Wow…. So sorry to hear the luck y’all are having. Genius line had usually provided a little more in depth to what was on the site.

I have looked at cars.com, but nothing out there which my spec. (not even the one at Schomp). Thanks for the heads up though.

Thanks but I checked for humor and nothing even close to what I want for color combo and at the price I will not compromise on colors or options. I have dreamed of a convertible my whole life and it will be what I want. If it is delayed I have no issue with that regardless of how long. Just would like to know about delays through the process.

In 2019 I spent Christmas through New Years in Stowe with a large family group and the roads were cleared on a regular basis but with a beauty like the Z4 I would definitely worry about salt, black ice and all of the other crap on the plowed roads.

Are you considering either PPF or ceramic coating or a combination of both for your new baby?

By ordering that color combination I can see that you are a person with impeccable taste!!!

Once the leaves fall in Vermont that Misano Blue/ ivory combination will brighten up the roads!!!

Great news that your stats are updating again and your car has made progress.

Mine is still the same, but I do see a glimmer of hope.

So just found out it’s on the Asian Majesty and scheduled to arrive in Jersey port on the 23rd. I assume a week or 2 from that time to dealer arrival. Thank you to everyone for all the valuable information you have given me to be able to track my car through the whole process. I am indeed very grateful. Look forward to a few good days of driving before any real snow falls.


Sending all my good luck your way COKen yours will turn up soon.

Are you planning on doing either PPF and/ or ceramic to protect your baby from those Vermont roads?

Don't forget the required photos once you get it.

The Asian Majesty is a fine looking ship!



Looks like when (if) mine turns up it will be at my dealer's lot.

Probably going to go with ceramic coating. Yeah I bought a winter car but I do want to drive it on the regular days without snow too. I have a 5 mile drive on pretty much straight 35-40mph roads so not much worry about black ice etc.

It will be okay if it happens my winter wheels and tires are almost here. Ordered a set of 19” 255/35/19. Didn’t want to chance and 18” set not clearing the brakes.
