Oh man…you have me so happy that I ordered a manual (I ordered an auto as well, but that’s a whole other story). I’ve heard this GETRAG 7-speed is a joy to drive, but good to get some more real-world confirmation!
May I suggest the classic M14/M1A? It gets an undeserved bad rap—it’s still a remarkably capable platform after all these years—and it’s soooooo pretty.
I’m an Eruption Green 2-door, and (as of now, at least) scheduled for a 12/13 build. Here’s what I think is happening:
As you say, the bodies are painted ahead of the build week, since the “blend date” is the date that all the major components are brought to the assembly line (right?). Could...
Something like that seems to be going on, because a bunch of MY22s are staying on 12/13 and not getting pushed. Would be interesting to know if there was some pattern in the builds/options/levels that are getting pushed.
I’m still holding steady at 12/13…fingers crossed that it stays there. I’m 2022, but maybe a day one reservation & base/man will keep me at the earlier date…who the hell knows.
I received a full day at the Texas Off-Roadeo offroad school, a Yeti thermos, a t-shirt, a Bronco backpack, and a $100 gift card from my dealer. Oh and they’re not charging any markup on my orders. I love my dealer.
If I may ask the obvious question…about how much time passed between your “scheduling” email and this “built and delivery window” email? In other words, was the scheduling email accurate for n terms of when the thing actually got built?
For BMW, consider reaching out to Terry Sayther’s Automotive in South Austin. They are the best mechanics I’ve ever used (sadly, imports only—no Ford). Absolute BMW experts. If they can’t help you out, they’ll know who can.
What vehicle are you looking at? BMWs are really great, but there...
A lot of folks saying chrome, which I totally get. But…I worry that chrome on plastic can look cheap, and there’s literally no other chrome on this vehicle to compliment it. But now y’all have me wondering…
Wheels will be black matte steel, other than that pretty stock (Base w/ 1” level). I should note that I’m exploring the possibility of linex-ing the MIC too in black down the road, if that’s even doable. So a lot of black, basically…
Hi all…so, I have a 12/13 build date for my 2-door Eruption Green Bronco, and I’ve ordered two sets of the classic fender scripts from Bronco Depot: one in Factory Silver and one in Matte Black
Question is, which is gonna look better on the Eruption Green fender…and which is gonna end up...
@Mickey21 yeahhhhh...I watched one YouTube video on installing a simple 1" level kit, and immediately realized that I lack the tools, time, expertise, and stomach for it. Sad, I know. But better to know my own limitations than to totally screw up my new vehicle...or worse, cause an accident on...
