Nice choice in wheels… forgot if I asked this, are they delivering it to you or will you pick it up fresh of the trailer?

Leaves the port of Baltimore, and they truck it to Wisconsin, and I will pick it up at my local dealer.
Very nice, you ask them to leave the plastics on so you can peek it off? Bmws have a distinct new car smell, cherish those fleeing moments

Would love a normal gas version of this on the road.
I think a gas engine (their V8s) wouldn’t allow for some of its proportions, like cabin size, but features like the mid gate could still work.
Yoke or steering wheel -- it's your call now
Tesla's Model S and Model X are again fitted with a steering wheel. It's a no-cost option, though the yoke remains available, and a retrofit kit is coming.

Car manufacturers think they're the new Netflix. And that's bad news
Electric cars have long become computers on wheels that can be upgraded over the air. Manufacturers are taking advantage of this by locking more and more features behind subscription plans. What does this mean for current and future car owners?

I’ve driven through Wyoming. Stayed a night in Cheyenne. What an empty state. Could combine Wyoming, Montana and the dakotas together and it would still be less than half the people that live in la county.Wyoming wants to phase out sales of EVs by 2035 to "ensure the stability" of the oil & gas industry

Well my car arrived at the dealer yesterday.
Here is what my brand new BMW 2023 330i looks like after being put on a semi after being built in Mexico and taken to the Mexican port, then put onto a ship, then dropped at a port in Baltimore Maryland and then put on a semi to my dealership in Wisconsin. Someone I know was at my BMW dealership yesterday and took pictures of them getting my car prepped for delivery. It’s not pretty! I hope I can pick it up tomorrow.

Nah, disables lane keep assist and some other “assist”. But you can turn off or adjust each individually and save it to your profile, so if your wife drives it it’ll default or change to what she may set it up. There’s an ap for the car too, if ya wanna warm up and stuff. Dude, congrats….I’m biased, always loved/preferred BMWs, they drive so good, firm, yet sublime with their seat cushion and support. The belts are like a little hug your mum would give ya as she tucks the blankets on either side of you when you go to bed. I could go on for much too long. Cheers and enjoy. Oh there may be an overboost feature, but I forget if it’s on the 330.
Yeah, I will want lane assist off FO SHO.
She won't. She never likes my cars. She drove my Corvette once, and she hated it. She hates riding in it.
I have the app installed on my phone. It's just waiting for me to connect to the car.
Well, then it is high time you buy a new one!
Wild that your car was not in a protective wrap until it was delivered to the dealership.
My thoughts exactly. More cost cutting? Or I didn't buy an expensive enough BMW? For $50K I guess you can only expect so much.
