San Diego/Socal Owners. How long after your boat lands did you wait until your car was delivered at the dealer? Just curious? My CA says it can take 2 weeks, but wondering what it took other guys?

So your car sits for about two weeks outside next to ocean until it gets put on a truck.

Anyone know if it's covered or they just let the sea gulls and pelicans use it for strafing runs?

No...

It gets off-loaded, and moved to the VDC center, where it's inspected and prepped.



Then loaded on another truck and moved to the dealer for delivery.

Even when they're initially outside, they're covered

That's awesome, thanks for the "piece of mind!"

Sorry for but just a quick question... Which shipping line's schedules are you guys looking at when tracking your cars? In the sticky under the ordering/tracking etc forum, it says NYKline is used to deliver to SoCal but I couldn't find anything going from Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme, CA on their site. Then someone in another forum told me my week 37 build will more than likely be on a boat called the Asian King leaving this Saturday from Bremerhaven but that's a Wallenius Wilhemsen boat which the tracking sticky says BMW uses for the east coast. So which shipping line? Thanks!
