Sonn to be new Owner

Soon is what I meant!

I ordered my 2013 128I Conv. Deep Sea Blue
The tracking shows the first block of production begins.
How long does it take from "production begins" to "at your BMW Dealer" ?

I just wanted to say I hate you OP because for some reason your thread title made me spit out coffee all over my monitor and keyboard moments ago.

I ordered a 1 on July 31st, and it just left Halifax this morning on its way to the Port of NYC. Hopefully it will only be another few weeks.

My dates appear below. I was fortunate and I asked about how quickly my car would get into production. That was a key deciding factor in who I purchased from. The dealer, who turned out to be closest to me, had a coupe scheduled they could switch to my convertible already close to production.

It will be on a boat very soon if it is not already. Assuming it flipped to production ends.

Go to this link:

http://www.2wglobal.com/www/WEP/index.jsp

Click on track and insert your VIN in the Cargo ID. Once loaded on the boat this site updates in about 24hours. Keep checking daily. Your dealer has your VIN if you do not know it. The site will provide ETA in NYC and figure about 5-7 days after that. Also the dealer can request faster shipping (48 hours) to his lot once it hits the VPC. Basically prioritizing a sold car versus one he has to put in inventory.
