Not sure exactly why but I assume it had to do with some shortage of parts at the factory -- one of the downsides of checking every box, I guess!
Good things come to whose who wait. Still, sorry to hear about your delay.

Maybe just a little...I think it'll become worse once it goes into production and will become much worse when it's finished and I'm waiting for it to get across the pond...

As far as the haters, I really don't care and Gene is correct, you won't see me engaging anyone on the forums. At this point, it's a lot like the saga we witnessed when the E60 first came out (and what caused us to create these forums.) The big difference now is that the debate isn't about looks, it's about performance. An even bigger difference is that the debates are being handled, for the most part, respectfully. There will always be differences of opinions and we'll welcome all points of view here so as long as everyone respects that fact and refrains from personal attacks, we'll be fine...

I really do not see why you guys are debating bmw vs porsche; imho I see porsche as a completely different class; kind of like an aston martin but not quite.

Its all those older men who have divorced twice or thrice buying all those porsche 911s trying to make a statement that deters me from buying one.

Other than that all rear engine porsches are perfect driver cars.

Well, they are talking about the Panamera specifically. Being a four-door sedan it is more of a competitor with F10...

Let the tracking begin!! You are right about the wait. Didn't think about it much while the factory was closed in August but now that my car is complete and scheduled to hit the US tomorrow, I'm out there tracking the ship like a kid waiting for Santa to drop down the chimney!

Wow, what a bargain!

Pay $144.648 and you'll get a 523i automatic with no extras at all here in Denmark...:thumbsdown:
