Let's hope so - I've been getting endless grief about going from the M3 to the MCS...

Richard,
How were you able to get such specific data on the Courage?

Good morning Bryan -

I used the port authority websites in New York and Charleston - they provide detailed information on ships using their facilities. The NY/NJ Port Authority website is http://www.firstnynj.com/Vessel/VesselSchedule.htm and the Charleston one is http://www.port-of-charleston.com/vessel_schedule.asp

They haven't given me a date yet, but the cars are certainly at the VDC (which is right here not in CHS).

Mine arrived at the dealer on Monday, they're waiting for the JCW kit to come in and I should have it the day after it arrives.

I've got the exhaust and engine software kit. It is keyed to the VIN so they had to wait to order it. If the car is ready by Friday I'll pick it up otherwise I have to wait till the 28th. I'll send pics as soon as I get my hands on it. I'm gonna miss the M3 a bot, would be nice to have both but I'm out of garage space.

If the dealership were nearby I'd run up to see it, but it is up in Charlotte which is an hour and half away unless you're doing it on a weekday afternoon in which case you better like driving slow!

I picked her up this past Saturday. This guy who sold me the car is so creepy. It was really difficult to sit in the car and listen to him "teach" me about the car. He smelled like alcohol and it was 4 in the afternoon. Anyways the car is great. I didnt realize hat I was going to get the sport button feature and the ASC button feature, I guess its standard. Good luck to those of you still waiting on the left coast.
