My brand-new F54 is on its way!

I guess about a month ago My F55 four-door cooper s was in a total loss collision. So I finally got a new one coming .

I didn't hesitate to check all the boxes . She is currently on the Bishu Highway, just cleared the straight of Gibraltor and is headed to the states.

I used BMW decoder to get pictures of what she'll look like. And man am I impressed.









Hopefully this one will stick around longer, I kind of like her.

Also hoping the power module from nm engineering works, also hoping my typhoon intake will sen also hoping my typhoon intake will fit.

NM Power Module works like a champ on the F54. Noticeably more power and a couple extra mpg thrown in for good measure.

Congrats! You will absolutely love it.

Love mine...Drove it all the time for 6 weeks and 4700 miles, then a deer attacked me. Literally jumped onto the car, no damage even to my bumper...

Long story short, can't wait to get it back, $6,300 in repairs and half of that basically labor. Only had for less than 6 weeks, and will have been about the same when I get it back...

Can't wait to be driving again!!!!

I looked at the k line schedule and saw something that might match up. After that I confirmed with my motoring advisor and tracked on vessel finder and marine traffic dot com

Congrats, Looks awesome! I'm really liking the center console. I feel like the whole armrest/console setup is perfect for using the Idrive controller. Also seems like a great road trip car.

What type of Mini Dealership is this... parking their brand new cars out in a dirt lot in the bushes and trees? Haha

My local dealer does this too - they keep a remote lot to store overflow cars or cars that need to be PDIed but they don't have room for.

Our local dealer has an extra lot with some cars about a mile away and a fully enclosed industrial warehouse loaded with cars a few miles further. No un mowed grassy lots for these guys. Seems kind of off putting to show your expensive cars sitting in that setting. Obviously they don't think like that.

Stunning! Congratulations! Finally in the right driveway.

Thanks to your earlier posts, I puzzled out how to find more information about the shipping of my car and discovered that mine sits aboard the vehicle carrier Patriot currently steaming toward Spain, but bound for Baltimore and points westward. Expected unloading at VDC on Sept. 8th.

I'm also excited to report that both the car and the ship carrying her are green with white on top...
