If you're on the Goliath Leader, it's passing through the Panama Canal right now. It went through the first set of locks this morning.

Oh man, fun days tracking my Z4 from Germany to US … but truth be told, I am glad it's here and I am not driving myself nuts tracking it and wondering if they are loading to much rum while stopping in the Caribbean for way too long …

Congrats! Longest week in your life before you! Mine arrived round the Easter holiday weekend, so port is closed / slow. I sure hope your dealer gets the car and gets it ready for you before the weekend!

Thanks. I am leaving for two weeks abroad. Hence , I cannot take delivery until I am back from my trip. I told my SA to protect the car with his life and I will reject delivery when the odometer shows more than 10 miles...

Too funny. I so wanted to pick it up on a Saturday, but my dealer didn't get it ready. I told him nobody better test drive it … when I picked it up on Monday, it had exactly 10 miles on it. I gave them heck (mostly jokingly, but also because I hadn't forgiven him for not getting it ready for me on Saturday).

Just curious. Haven't seen a post of your new wheels. Love to see some photos. I have a Z4 on order with the same color combination. Hope you love it!

not a 3.0 but ordered a m40i first week of June in Frozen Grey and told build date was July 23 with delivery Sept 1 so about 3 months. I think the color may have added some time as told fewer of these being made. the wait is half the fun as my old 2007 M coupe took about 3 months too.

I know the G29 Z4 is built in Austria. It’s my understanding most BMWs built in Germany for the North America market are shipped out of Bremerhaven in northern Germany. Would a Z4 destined for Port Hueneme, CA also be sent to Bremerhaven for the boat ride?

Just put in an order Friday for an SDrive 3.0i :: Alpine White with Red interior. I’m told 8-10 weeks. Came here to get a better idea as to me it took upon placing order to delivery from customer experience. So excited for this. Been wanting to get a Z4 since 2003. Still in scheduled for production status as of this morning.

Congrats. You are looking at 9-10 days from order entry to scheduled for production. Production will begin about 10 days after that. I've been tracking my M40 since the order was entered on 14 APR 21.

Mine was dispatched from Factory since last friday and hoping it is on the boat this wednesday.

Thanks for the response. The order was submitted Friday and has been in “Scheduled” since then. 10 days till prod begins. Waiting is hard lol! I bet you’re excited too! Gave myself a 60k limit sini didn’t go with the M40. Certainly would have liked to but... even the 30i is more power than I’ve driven in 16 years. LoL!

Damn that black and red is pretty!!!
