The Falstaff did indeed arrive Port Hueneme on the 29th and left on the 30th. If the VPC works weekends, our cars could be there now. Getting close!!

For those of you in the Pacfic Northwest, it looks like the Falstaff got to Washington about 1:30 this afternoon. Of course I am assuming that BMW has a facility in the port of Washington :-). Of course, It could be the vehicles are trucked from Port Hueneme.

I called my CA and he said my car will be at the dealership on June 8. :headbang:Anyone else on the Falstaff get a delivery date at the dealership. We are at our cabin this weekend but as soon as I get home Sunday I am going by the dealership and see if it is there. The wait is almost over!:thumbup:

Shipmate saying hi

Hello all, I've been trolling on these boards for about 2 months now. You guys seem like a great bunca people. I was your shipmate for some of you Westcoast people. But, I was sitting over on the Volvo side. I did OSD (our version of ED) in early April and dropped off the car at the Volvo Factory Delivery Center. Car enthuiasts no matter what brand they buy, go through the same emotions of "Waiting totally blows"! Tracked the car the same one you guys and was on the Falstaff. But alas, my wait has just been over today. I got the call today and was also able to pickup today!! You can see my pics of my OSD trip over here along with my car. Feel free to come over and say hi and what not, we're also a nice group of people! http://www.c30world.com/forums/showt...?t=1447&page=4

Have fun driving over the weekend!

Wow, those are great pics! Looks like a lot of fun. I considered a Volvo convertible before deciding on the 1. Gotta take a few pics today. won't compare to yours though :-)

Awesome pics!

Can you explain a little about Volvo's OSD program? What does OSD stand for? How much discount do you get? I hear that Volvo pays for your airfare, is that true? In your pics thread, you make reference to your Rome side trip and the "Hotel Savoy where Volvo put us up." Does Volvo pay for a side trip?!?!?

And what a completely random picture of Mayor Giuliani! Haha! That must've been a trip seeing him! And in your picture, he looks just like every other tourist: brochure in hand, looking around confused.

Absolutely. OSD stands for OverSeas Delivery. I saved i think right under 10% from MSRP which is under invoice price. Volvo does provide free airfare for 2 with the program and 1 night free hotel stay. Also transportation to and from the airport, also to and from the Factory Delivery Center (Volvo's Welt) During the winter month all the way up until the end of April, they have 2 "side trips" that you can do. Its heavily subsidized from Volvo. I think they do this as the winter months in Sweden are really cold and dark. For $700 they offered round trip tickets to Rome for 2, 3 night hotel stay at The Savoy, transportation to and from airport to hotel, and and extra night hotel stay in Sweden. I stayed an extra night at The Savoy and it was $400. So, Volvo really does go the extra step for their OSD customers. The side trips change every year. This past year you could choose Dublin or Rome. Let me know if you have any more questions!

My car was supposed to be delivered on June 8, 2008 – Sunday - Today. I went to the dealership last night – no 135i but it was June 7, just thought it might arrive early. Went to the dealership tonight and no car. Hopefully tomorrow it will arrive. The wait is killing me.

My car was supposed to be at the dealer June 8. Today it still has not arrived! My CA is calling me twice a day with updates or no updates in this case. I am driving by the dealership on my way to and from work to see if it is sitting there. If it does not show up by Thursday the dealer is going to call the trucking company. They did get in a 135i vert AT last week so I feel better that they will not use my car for demos and not tell me it is in yet.

The wait is killing me.

I know you guys were worrying about my car not being here - LOL - but this morning I drove by the dealership and a car carrier was just pulling away. My 135i SGM was sitting there next to a new X3. Today is the day!:roundel::thumbup::headbang:

Military Sales. She washed her hands with me as soon as the car hit Bremerhaven. 25 days later it finally got on a boat. The car is finally in the states. Hopefully heading from Oxnard to Washington as I type.
