Euro Delivery journals are supposed to be about the car, and the trip.

Maybe list the questions you have about the 1M?
He is doing a great job in my eye, and every perceptive is valuable

Please keep this thread on track guys

Damn, the 1M arrival threads are really starting to roll in. Good stuff!

It looks best from behind, I think. Really emphasizes the wide track.

In a few of the side shots, the wheels just look too big IMO. It looks a bit exaggerated, like a toy car. Looks better from the 3/4 angle, I think. This is really just nitpicking, of course. The big wheels also look sort of tough, so it evens out.

But seriously, what is up with the wheel gap on this car? It's ridiculous. The car looks lifted or something. Not sure how BMW let this one slip by - I mean, I'm sure it performs well, but looks count for something, too. Lowering ride height by an inch would improve the stance SO much.

Anyway, congrats on the new ride and the vacation. Obviously you're having a blast.

Your RIGHT!!!! it's ok in the back.. but the front wheel gap is a bit to much!! I dont want to lower the car.. but 1'' in front would be just perfect!! will still leave it stock.. I trust that BMW as a good reason for a road car..

Dear MNavigator,

I hope you read this in time.

would PM you, but this seems impossible (dunno why).
I live in Belgium, namely the city of Hasselt (not so far from Liege or Spa), and have a 1M on order. However, I'm very doubtfull about the color, black or VO... Would do anything to see it in the flesh!

Maybe I can come somewhere to view your car? (I would come to you) Will pay you dinner in return :-). PLUS, eternal gratitude will be yours Anywhere within 2 hours drive from my place is ok for me.

Please, let me know by PM (hope its possible for you to post to me) if this would be possible to arrange! I'll check every hour.

Good evening and enjoy your awesome car ;-)

Yannic

@MNavigator

Next friday 22nd, is 'CARfriday' on the ring, it's the season opening event and the green hell is open from 8:00AM-7:30pm to everybody! Nice cars from all over Europe and a lot of fun!!

Is anyone else in the US picking up their 1M at the Spartanburg, SC Performance Center??
I will be driving up to SC from Florida in my Dads Porsche 911 Carrera S to pick up my Black Sapphire BMW 1M. It should be fun, he has challenged me to a race

It will be interesting to compare the ED process shown here with the delivery and pick-up process at the Spartanburg Plant. I am a new user on this forum so I'll try my best to post pictures and updates when I go in mid May

[torquedemon]

I forgot to mention, At the Performance center, they will not only deliver the new 1M order, But will provide us with a full days worth of fun on the track with their own 1M cars so we dont wreck ours. I'll try my best to take pics and videos as well.

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!!

This would be something not everyone gets to experience...

Enjoy Paris and Brussels!

I have to take the moment and whore myself by sharing a picture of my belated-European-rebirth as a fellow Canadian representing in EU.

Drive safe and have fun....

Bumped for some pics from SPA, learning the track was fun yesterday.

Mr. MNavigator, awesome thread sir. Really appreciate you taking the time to write up all your adventures. For those of us patiently waiting for our very own, it's everything!

[Yannick-m.]

Thos 2 pictures are made by me. More will follow later.

[Slappymangooze]

I know what you did yesterday...
Seems that they are being cautious with their 1m...

I plan to, but I haven't even gotten the allocation yet.
I'll be coming down from Delaware.

Yea actually I haven't either....It is killing me. Just last weekend I drove to Georgia to Critz BMW just so I could reserve my 1M and once I did, he said its a good 6-8 weeks from arriving at Spartanburg

Sorry MNavigator can you (or anyone else on here) please explain the "cowbell" sound you mentioned in the negatives?

THANKS!

This is exactly how the stock ride should have come from the factory IMO.
