HUGE thanks to Kris for updating on his build because had he not- I wouldn't have bugged my CA to see why everyone else was getting bumped up...and guess who did too?!
THIS GUY! I know I still have a week or two before she goes 150- but I'm dead locked on my build. 2016 LCI m6 Coupe Frozen Black Opal white full leather 6spd MT CCB Executive package Should get to Los Angeles mid June!!!

White interior and black exterior is an awesome combination. I think this was a better choice than the frozen grey. The CCB gold calipers will look good in contrast to the frozen black paint too.

Already speaking to two vendors for wheels, also- on the order- I requested the dealer put on the M performance steering wheel with LEDs, spoiler and diffuser before drive off

But definitely with you. We researched how many have been built that exact way- and so far, this will be the first with frozen black, white interior and 6 spd

Let me know if you are able to get any M performance parts. I am hoping my dealer can come through and have them at the port before the car gets there. |

In other news, one of my bosses son wants my current m6, so he will be assuming the lease (even though I prepaid it) BUT he will compensate me the remaining months upfront. Which means...I'll be without an M for about a month or two. At which point I will lose my appetite, probably delete this app from my phone so I don't go insane and start posting rambling threads and become obsessed with tracking the cars progress and pay for the satellite subscription once it gets on a ship so I can wake up at random hours of the day (I record/work at night) just to see it move a millimeter. It will get here around my birthday though...so it couldn't have happened any better!

When the build catalog came out- some options "required" the comp package- but wouldn't let me add it. So once we spoke to BMW in NJ- it was confirmed that for the early 2016 models- they wouldn't come with the option to add it I did read an article literally the other week that said they've adjusted the steering and suspension for the 16s, so that's my best guess as of now. But it wasn't a direct from BMW article so they could just be making it up Regardless- for city use- the comp package isn't necessary. Really only if you track your car regularly would it have helped (judging off the 14/15s) personally I've driven both- with and without- didn't feel a difference except on sports +, which to me was actually less comfortable on the comp package than on non comp.

BTW...there're some high ground around Port Hueneme. You can camp out there and with a good set of binos, make sure they offload your car properly. Pretty sure it'll be the only frozen black F13 on the ship! |

After which, the two I'm seriously considering are Klassen and ADV1. There are Velos, hres, and cors- but for the cost- I might as well go big. I'm not fretting to mod it immediately though. Only thing I will (other than what the dealer will put on) I'm lowering it the same day using hrs. My mentality of the mod process is that it's a marathon, not a sprint
