Heh thanks. Been busy doing stuff but when I have free time, it's mostly spent driving. I stole my parent's Canon DSLR but it had no CF card in it. Took the car to the closest Radioshack and OfficeMax but those were $50... no thanks! Good pics on the way with my thoughts and impressions soon though!

Called BMW NA today and spoke with a lady (in person) who still told me that the car is awaiting a boat at the port.

I don't know if the live people at the 1-800 # have any more info than the status the digital lady (codenamed Breunhilde) tells you. So, I think there's still a chance you're on the 20th boat and may not find out about it til the 24th or 25th. |

Ask your sales person on the 23rd and they should know if it's on a boat and the estimated date of arrival at port so you'll know which one you are on. Luckily, those two are only two days apart as opposed to sometimes having to wait a week. And keep checking the 1-800# in the morning to see if it updates.
Mine didn't change til 3-4 days after my boat already left and then a couple more days until it showed up in the cargo when I searched on the W&W website using my VIN #. |

That's the first thing that comes to mind every time I hear someone gets on a boat. Get out your nautical-themed pashmina afghan. |

I'm not sure which is worse! Trust me, when you get confirmation you're on a boat, you'll be blasting that song and singing it non-stop..."I'm on a boat MUTHA F----!!!!!" as it's uncontrollable after waiting a month and a half to get to that point.
The only thing better is when you get the call/e-mail that it's arrived and you can actually go see it and take it home! |

I'm also assuming west coast deliveries use Wallenius. Some threads seem to suggest it's NYK but I can't find any schedules for NYK that goes from Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme. |

I've sent her an email, will let you all know when I have a status update. Saw a really nice AW 1M coupe while I was away in Monterey this weekend and that really got my itch going again! I was hoping to relax about it for the weekend at least, but every E82 I spot just makes it a little tougher

I'd say, go head to a dealer and test drive a 135is to get your fix. =) |

What dealer are you getting it at by the way? There was one dealership up in northern california that has like 4-5 IS's, mostly convertibles, all in stick, too. Should be Concord BMW. I was shocked a dealer would have like 4-5 in stick. Or take a vacation for a few weeks. =P |
