My car is where it is supposed to be now, in my garage

In the end I have never been happier to not be speeding. If only the cars came broken in!

Lucky!

Most of ours are on the Toreador, expected to arrive at port April 17. How many days did it take for yours to get from the port to the dealer? Just curious what the turn around time is of late.

I'm anxiously awaiting my new 128i Vert! Unfortunately, my CA hasn't been very helpful in giving me any sort of tracking. After bugging him for a bit, he's let me know that it's sitting on the dock in Bremenhaven .. but I still don't have any sort of tracking/VIN/or whatnot. He did say I'll have at least a tracking number when it's assigned a carrier.

gregthegr8 · 05-12-2013, 07:56 PM

Do you have your production order #? That's all you need to track via the 1-800# and bmwusa website. The VIN only comes in handy really to check the cargo on a ship if that shipping line even has that availability, and just helps you confirm it's actually on that particular boat.

icbrkr · 05-12-2013, 08:03 PM

Unfortunately not. A deposit was put down, the order was put in, and a 'it'll be 6-8 weeks' was said. Since technically it was done last Sunday (5/5), I guess I'll see if anyone else's was done at the same time and follow their thread

gregthegr8 · 05-12-2013, 08:06 PM

That stinks. Your sales person should at least give you one or the other so you can properly agonize during the wait by tracking it. Mine sent me a copy to confirm all the options, etc.

Either way, congrats.

What Greg said, your sales person has a production number. If not him then his sales manager. My car was said to be at the port awaiting transportation last Wednesday may 8 it ended production on Friday May 3
What port is your car coming from to get to Arkansas? Looks like the next ship out of Bremerhaven to Port HUENEME, CA is Faust which should be sailing on Saturday May 18. Sure hope my car gets on

bp - you should check out the latest photos of mine to make those last few weeks torurous! Also, know that your sales person will know much sooner than the darn 800# or online thing will show it's on a boat. Usually a 3 day lag where you think, crap, i missed the boat and get all upset, then find out, oh, I DID get on the boat. Tis a rollercoaster ride. Then takes another 3-4 days sometimes to show up on the W&W cargo list.

bp-plickner · 05-12-2013, 09:53 PM

Greg, nice guy

I am going crazy with wait waiting for the FUBAR moment.
My car is right on schedule based on what BMW of Tucson has told me. Hope to have the car by the end of June, which will be almost 12 weeks from my order date. This waiting is a lot of work.....
I have checked out the pics of your car, real nice. Hope to make a meeting of the mineral grey club soon.

I've got nothing (no idea what port). I'll try hitting them up here in a bit. My dealer did say that he expected it by the end of the month (and alluded to a 10 day trip across the ocean) so I'm guessing it's not going all the way to the west coast. While the waiting is torturous, I'm heading out to vacation here soon so I won't even be around to pick it up

The wife has already told me I can't go home early to pick it up

bp-plickner · 05-13-2013, 09:59 PM

I figure what's a week here or there, after I have the car I can enjoy it and all of the waiting fades away.. At least that's what I keep telling my self.

Enjoy your vacation.
