My 2011 335d in on the boat as I write this and I expect it to be delivered on about 10 days or so. I can't wait!
This may be a dumb question, but what do you guys think about feeding the 335d some biodiesel? I know BMW engines can be very particular about fuel/oil grade, so not sure if it's possible or recommended. Appreciate your thoughts.

Which ship is it on? I think mine's on the Patriot, due in to Brunswick on the 11th.

Not sure; Dealer told me it was due in port on the 28th, and I went to BMW USA and it did say the car was at the prep center. One step closer, and I figured on the Biodiesel!
