No it’s released to trucking company but not at my dealer yet my guess is it’s taking a while to get a full truck up to Vermont.

They have to fill up the trailer and many of the auto transporters are busy taking cars for the snowbirds South to places like Florida. Last edited by Westside Guy; 11-27-2021 at 07:42 AM.. Reason: removed duplicate quote |

Perhaps a vessel carried an early production load of 2022's destined for a particular region? My car came from Allentown, PA. and my dealer in Ft. Lauderdale trucked it down to Florida.

- If there are few changes, why "upgrade"? - If there are signficant changes, I'm not convinced that I would like them due to the direction they've gone with the 4 series, etc. .....either way, I'm not seeing any incentive to get rid of a car I like for one that is either substantially the same or different and maybe not in a good way. Couple all that with the loss of options currently and I'd definitely not be interested in selling my car for something unknown. Dave |

So it arrived today and I took a ride up to check it out and looks like I got mine ordered at just the right time as no options were shown as deleted. I’ll attach the window sticker hope it is legible.

Great News! When will you be able to take it home?
Almost time to I guess mine will be a unicorn too as mine also has all of the options with no delitions. But yours made it to the US before mine. Mine is currently heading for the UK for a short layover. Next stop is Panama.

For me, it's not so much an upgrade but getting one of the last new cars at the end of an era (convertible/roadster with combustion engine). |

Therefore, I think prices of used cars will equalize to previous levels, however, inflation may keep them up at same "actual" dollar amounts. New vehicles are going to go up significantly, maybe at some time in future, we will be able to negotiate to the "$500 over invoice goal" again but that is at least 12 months out. I have pondered ordering a new vehicle as the Z4 as I can sell my present vehicle for more than I bought it and have something newer before the inflationary pressures skyrocket MSRP values. Based upon past experience, inflation will drive the costs up over next 2-3 years quite a bit. Just as a reference, My father bought a fully loaded 1977 Pontiac Trans-Am (think Smokie and the Bandit) for $5,500. My first new car, a 1985 Trans-Am was just over $11,000. Prices doubled in 8 years. So IMHO, upgrading now is not such a bad idea.

80K for a new one with tax, .... It depends on your state tax laws. Here in FL you get a tax credit for that 60K if it is a trade in, .... That said I sold my Nissan 370Z 2017 (not to carvana) for the same price I paid in 2017, .... so I did sell it |

Oh, that is the color I like! I test drove the Z4 3.0 with the Misano Blue/White combination, what a stunner! Yet the 2.0L was not enough ponies for my taste, the Z4 4.0M was not out yet when I had to get something. Active Cruise Control, that is a great feature! It is great in traffic jams... just steer! Yes, you ordered at the right time!

But unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse, I doubt I'll sell. I am not actively seeking offers. The car is my drug. |

When I ordered my car the end of August the talk about the chip issues were starting to appear online and I didn’t want to wait and take a chance to receive a car with less features. |

I would be worried that the LCI somehow uglifies something in the styling.
Wish I could order another because I would... Although I would not accept it if anything was deleted. I kick myself each day I traded my Z4... Rob |
