100% agree that it seems beyond bizarre that they would commingle MY 2019s and 2020s at the same time. Also I gave them holy hell for the delays - plus they kept giving me incorrect info - and that's being generous in my phrasing. I am, at a minimum, expecting some sort of compensation for that. It helps that I had all of this documented in email exchanges - it makes MB look... not that great.

I kept my cool the entirety of the experience - but the GM of the dealership had a litany of complaints about MB corporate and their process. He was way more verbally pissed off than I was. Can't say I blame him though - MB kept relaying info to them to give to me which was wrong repeatedly. Essentially 8 weeks of Groundhogs Day.

You have much more patience than I do. If I were given the same run around they keep giving you, I’d have been rather satisfied to give BMW my money for an m4 comp.

His is indeed a 2020 as indicated on the Netstar screenshot. I’ve been following your details in this thread and you have my sympathies. I also have a MY2020 that was produced today, according to my est build date.
However I am skeptical that I’ll actually see my car before September if these MY2019 timelines are any indication.

coming from a "regular" M4 cabrio, i'm happy to move on. I mean, nothing wrong with it at all, but nothing really exciting about it as well. It does feel good in the corners (more agile than the C63), but doesn't create excitement/emotion for me. definitely a fun car though...will be interesting to see what they do with the G20...supposed to have 500+ HP.

Oh, so your car has not started production yet (or technically just yesterday possibly)? That definitely could mean that in the last week or so has been the cutoff for 19's...hmmm. Seems like yours won't actually be finished and ready for transport until mid-Julyish, at the earliest?
I may just have the last 2019 car built...

I just got off the phone with the AMG manager. She says that "there is no way that the 2020s will ship before 2019s" and that "2020s will not start shipping until Q4 at the earliest." That's October. I asked her about the 2020s orders now and she said even if there is a decade planned, there is no guarantee it will start on time and even if it does complete, they won't ship until Q4, at the earliest. So, looks like your estimation is more realistic, JPM-3.
I did mention F1MIKE's 2020, and she said that Germany's release schedule is completely different than the US; Germany's cars come out much earlier in the year...
Either way, at this rate, I'm still not going to get my car until mid-August, at the earliest...33-40 day shipping + VPC time to the west coast is a looooong time. UGHGHGHGH

My Dad's 2019 s63 sedan 4 matic sat at port in Baltimore from august until late November when they released the car. He ordered it april 2018...Even if they make them they don't release them in the US until late q4. I am waiting for the carbon fiber side sills in the aero that come on the 2020.. they are going to give me them because of having both aero and cf packages and i didn't get the side inserts in carbon.. they sent them after i requested and they were the non aero.. I said this isn't what i paid for.. They are still deciding if I have to take the 3500$ credit which is what the non aero in cf are worth or if i can wait and just order the aero design cf ones when the parts became available,, which they expected to be 6 months + down the road according to both the sales and service managers.
Oh well, I suppose August is better for me than Oct/Nov/Dec....at least, that's what I keep telling myself as I use my imagination to picture my car. Haha

It looks like these questions have been answered by others already. Anyone know if cars destined for California go through the Panama Canal or do all ships dock on the East Coast?

It's the only E63S Wagon in designo Briliant Blue Magno. Right now it's a bug catcher that looks like it is matte -- I'll fix that as soon as my matte wash comes in.

Thanks! I can't even remember the last time I used my car's nav system. If I ever need directions I use Waze. No multimedia, no driver's assist, no heads up... I avoided all the things I know I will never use. Just me, the car, that engine and my right foot and we're golden.

Congratulations. Beautiful. Have had mine for 4 days and it is fantastic. Enjoy it. Impossible not to. I got the aero package as well. Iridium on pepper red. The aero package looks nice on the car.
only complaint so far is brake dust accumulation. It’s crazy...
I will post some images of mine soon.
