Well I finally got the call that my R was in.
Built 5/16 Awaiting shipment 5/23 Delivered 6/22
Shadow black strip delete electronics package
Car came via truck and I didn't get to see them unload but the dealer said it was loaded on the truck correctly. I got to be there and talk to the service guy through the PDI and he said he was glad because he had done 3 350s already but this was the first R and he did not know about the spacers. We inspected the car and there are no paint blemishes or scratches from improper loading or unloaded that we noticed but will have to see after the clean it up. Did find one problem though apparently when they pulled the car in the servic bay there was a steel clip on the floor (much like the ones you remove to install the splitter) and got imbedded in the front passenger tire. When we pulled it out it cut a perfect little circle out of the tread but luckily not deep enough to leak. The dealer already has the new tire on order but said it might be a week before it gets in.:frusty: The splitter install went fine and all hardware was used. Then things kinda went downhill from there the service tech removed the suspension spacers and started the recalibration but it didn't work. He tried for 2 hrs but for some reason the update wouldn't work so the car is still at the dealer.:frusty::headbonk: They are going to call the service hotline tomorrow and hopefully figure out what the problem is. So hopefully tomorrow I will get the call that they have fixed the suspension and cleaned the car so I can pick it up.

I thought that recalibration was only necessary if you had an error code stating such. I didn't think that it was mandatory.

I didn't see the dash but the tech said that it had the warning that the recalibration was needed when he first brought it in. He hooked the car up to his computer and did it but the car wouldn't take it. Every time it would go away after he ran it but come back up when we started the car

That tire looks like it was totally worn out.

nice car. you'll enjoy it. I got the 'someone's been driving the crap out of these tires' when it was delivered. why do people keep referring to 'stripe delete' when stripes are an option?

Dude, that tire looks like someone drove a few thousand miles on it. Glad everything ended up ok.

Maybe the same as saying "no electronics" instead of "base"? ;)
