Official CENTAURUS LEADER thread-departed 10/8

[M3_Dust]

I got word today that my car is on the Centaurus Leader headed for the west coast, departed 10/8/08 with an ETA to the port in San Diego of 10/31/08. I am hoping to have the car the first week of November

Anyone else? Feel free to add any information about tracking the vessel also.

Neat name for a car carrying ship!

I guess it's just me on board, this should make the unloading go quickly

Hi M3_Dust,

I am on the Centaurus Leader also. Who is your dealer? I ordered from North Scottsdale on 9/11, finished production 9/24.

Its hard to find any tracking info on the Centaurus Leader. This is the best I have found and its behind several days while the ship is out to sea.

I ordered from Artin at Chapman Camelback on the 15th and the car went into production phase the next day. I was going to order from my friend Graham who works at N. Scottsdale, but the managers wouldn't let him give me any kind of a discount. I ordered my 06 M3 from Artin also and he was great then and took care of me again on the 135i. We should have our cars the first week of November, they have been processing them very quickly when they get to the VPC in San Diego and the CARB holdup is over now. :thumbup:

Hey Mike, Congrats on the new car!

I was at Gebhardt BMW in Boulder the other day, and a Montego Blue 135i with the Sport Package was being driven through the lot for delivery. A real eye-catcher; very nice looking color on that car.

The ///M continues to run perfectly; I've put 6k fun, fun miles on him already (zero non-fun miles).

Hope all is well.

Best, Norm

hey Norm, good to see you posting over here, I'm glad to hear that my baby is still treating you well, I really wish I could have kept it, hopefully the 1'er will make me almost as happy. Looks like you found some new wheels for it, that's set #7 on that car now, lol. :thumbup:

That's funny. Let's keep track of the sets.

#7: for winter. TCK-Rays-Volk 18 x 9 ET40 / 18 x 9.5 ET28 with Dunlop Wintersport M3's.

#8: for summer another set of TCK-Rays-Volk 18 x 9 ET40 / 18 x 9.5 ET28 with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2'.

#9: for track. SSR Comps 18 x 9.5 ET35 all around.

I'm a wheel fool (like someone else I know).

Your baby is indeed treating me well. I keep him stocked with fresh fluids and overly preventative maintenance. I hear you on the change, but I'm sure you'll get a lot of pleasure with the M-Blau 135i. I look forward to pics and reports. You'll be starting with set #1 of the wheels . . . .
