We did speak about that actually. I asked them how it would be transported from MDR to Malibu and they said someone would drive it. Once I found that out I immediately felt I wanted to be the one who put the first few miles on my car.
I had them make a note in my account to state customer requests vehicle pickup over delivery.
Picked Up my white on black m3p on Saturday. Location : Lawerence SC, NJ
Pretty uneventful delivery took less than 45 mins. The SA mentioned that it was the only M3P they have had that week
Found 2 issues
1. The right side fog lamp is not flush with the bumper.
2. Rear bumper's paint doesn't match the rest of the car -- not sure if it is just the lighting
They made it clear I will have to accept delivery and this would be fixed via service appointment
Drive on summer tires in the snow was scary.. next step - get winter tires !!

Central Valley here too - Visalia to be precise! Ordered on 12/14 (Red/Black). No VIN yet. Briefly saw a delivery range of 12/22 to 12/31 but that’s since disappeared.
Are you picking up from Fresno too?
This car is replacing my last baby which was brutally murdered earlier this month.
Dashcam for anyone morbidly curious, go to around 50 seconds.
Ouch! Hope you’re doing alright. I’m in Fresno, so yeah, delivery center is about 15 minutes from my home. Maybe we’ll get it around the same time? I don’t have a VIN yet either, it was just their production schedule that my friend sent me a photo of.
You can probably call and ask someone and they’ll be able to see the same. Our service center is rarely busy, so I imagine they’ll load ours on the same truck coming down and everyone will pick up around the same time? Turnaround time for Fresno seems to be only a couple of days from when you get your VIN.
Barely a scratch - tested the high safety rating of the M3 up close and personally!
Will do on calling them to ask, thanks for the info and concern!
great info, thank you for sharing. Looks like 12/28-12/31 - going to be a ton of deliveries in CA

Look both ways before you enter the intersection, green light or not...
I am happy to report that there were no major issues, and the paint and panel gaps were excellent.
Now I just have to wait for my Dad to detail it

If FSD were transferable, it would have a much stronger just purchase justification - buy in early, fund the tech & development, and save in the long run as a result. But with it stuck to the car, it's a hard sell since it'll only be worth another $1k-2k on the used market. Keep in mind that the technology will keep moving forward, but the hardware in the car is stuck in time.
That's why I can't take this leap... also, I change cars every 3-4 years... it's too much of a recurring depreciation hit to take on a fast upgrade cycle like that.
My date range went from missing yesterday (no VIN) to 12/30-12/31 today and then 12/22 to 12/31 this afternoon. Here's to hoping someone cancelled or can't take delivery of their M3P in Seattle.
For the first time in 2+ weeks, I have a date range again. 12/21 to 12/31. Still no VIN but at least it's something.
