did you ask for a cup holder

. Now, this may be a little late to ask, but doesn't the car come with floor mats right, are you talking about the rubber mats ecap18? Every car I had had floor mats, and the same with my friends and family.

Uptown Bully · 06-27-2008, 01:18 PM

Crazy, my car only got to port two days ago. It's of course not updated on BMW USA but my CA just e-mailed me to say the car would be there in a few hours! That's super fast. I mean, I do live near Charelston but still. Wow.

maxofthewell · 06-27-2008, 01:23 PM

OC still says my car is at the VPC and my CA hasn't heard anything. What's taking so long? Perhaps because it was ED?

JaMa · 06-27-2008, 03:58 PM

For anyone who cares, Princess VII went through the Panama Canal earlier and is steaming her way rapidly (25mph or so) towards San Diego and Port Hueneme.

Not much longer now...

I care...I care very much. My car is on that ship:thumbup:

Next stop is San Diego, right? That is where all the cars are unloaded.

Can't wait much longer. The wait is killing me

The VPC is actually in Oxnard, but it makes a stop in San Diego on 7/6, yes.

Funny, I am in SD but my CA says my car gets to Oxnard on July 7 and I will get it a week after. But since it ports here in SD first, shouldn't I get it earlier??? O well, I am stil working out the kinks with Penfed at the moment...

NOTE TO ALL: DONT MOVE the week you are applying for a LOAN because it's pain in the YOU KNOW WHAT trying to verify your identity.

CHRIS-135i · 06-27-2008, 11:36 PM

Got my car today! The results:

Below: About 10min after I brought it back home it started to rain. I guess it has been baptized, lol

Simon_135i · 06-28-2008, 12:16 AM

CHRIS-135i-

Very nice indeed... Did you get your vehicle earlier than you had anticipated according to the ship date and arrival or was it longer?

CHRIS-135i · 06-28-2008, 09:57 AM

It seemed dead-on from what the dealer told me it was going to come. But when I ordered the car in April the dealer told me a little bit longer due date, which was July/Aug. Toward its arrival to the us the dealer said maybe at the end of June which was true, but i was anticipating a little longer till i knew better, so that there were no disappointments, lol.

It turned out great. My dealer got me the cup holder which I was wondering about, and extra bottle of oil in the trunk, and a $35 gift card to there boutique upstares where I got a stainless steel mug, and #1 stainless steel keychain.

Also a bonus that day, I found out my insurance was going to be cheaper!! Paying a $100. I was paying 200+ a year or so ago for my wrx.

All I can say it was a great day, and def worth the wait.

CHRIS-135i · 06-28-2008, 10:03 AM

Also I should note that when I got the car the dealer pointed out that the did make a mistake and give me Gray Poplar wood trim instead of the gloss black. I would say if it was any other trim, I would have been pissed, but I am actually happy with the Gray Poplar wood trim. The dealer pointed out that there would be less finger prints showing up. And as people have said, it does have a slight brown look in some lighting conditions (darker).

Uptown Bully · 06-28-2008, 10:24 AM

My car got to port this past Tuesday. I pick it up in an hour. Bravo to speedy people.

EDUC8ED · 06-28-2008, 12:15 PM

My car should be at the dealer monday or tuesday but Im outta town till Sunday!!! AHHHHHHH

backtoreality15 · 07-01-2008, 01:55 PM

FYI:
For those on the Asian Chorus in California/West Coast:
PORT HUENEME, CA U.S.A. 03/07/2008
That is the docking date, 2 more days... So I assume we can pick our car up from anywhere within a week to 2 weeks from now?

I picked mine up 6 days after it was discharged, im not sure how fast/slow they do things on the west coast though, but that can give you a rough estimate.

I know that it takes 10 days to get from VDC to Portland area dealerships. I have known about 6 people that have ordered BMW's or Mini's and all of them took 10 days.

That will give you an idea of how long it will take for you in your area. Just remember that it will take at least 3 days to go through VDC and that is if there are no damages to the car that need repair:w00t:

Anyone have any news on the Princess VII???:iono:SHould be getting close now.

10 days to Portland... Well I'm in San Diego, but I was told that it was stopping at Oxnard before it gets back to SD... I fully anticipate to see my vehicle within 3-4 days after it docks...

aarong_m3 · 07-01-2008, 03:04 PM

Hopefully i can pick it up between July8-10 up here in Norcal.

It stops in SD on the way up and then goes to Oxnard. Aren't all of the cars unloaded at Oxnard? Then they get on trucks to go to their final destination?
