Agreed. Our Mini Cooper S took 13 days from Southhampton, UK, to Port Hueneme, CA this past April.

OK, sorry, deep breathing, I'm ok now.

Load that bad boy down with a thousand cars or so, and it doesn't look too tippy, huh? :biggrin:

Excellent security with visibility-restricted screening on chain-link and barbed-wire fencing with a manned 24-hour guard gate.
Easy access to I-26.

OK, SO . . .IF WE CAN GET OVER THE BARBED WIRE, OPEN THE GATE AND GET TO I-26, MAYBE THIS MARCH 22ND THING IS THAT BIG AN OBSTACLE. :biggrin:

Izzo, make sure you look for a black on black 135i if you go to the port. Can't wait to get my 1.:drinking:

Hmm. I'm still "Awaiting Transport" - I guess mine didn't get on that boat.

[Yearofthe1]

Oh you guyz are killing me. I'm not gettin mine until AUGUST!! But I will have something to talk about, since I'm picking it up in Munich. My fiance and I are doing this for our honeymoon. Just please don't abandon the forum once you pick up your babies, it'll help get me through the rough times reading how much fun you're all havin.

Wow guess I dont have to wait until March to get my blk/blk!

[peppebmw]

I order tile containers from Italy all the time and it takes about 10 days! Not that it matters since we can't get our cars until March 22!

funny you say that....my uncle runs a granite/marble/tile warehouse in southern nj and all his stuff comes into port of eliz....

and since i help him out with his website and marketing i am hoping to slip in with him into the ports ...but i doubt they park the 1000lb slabs any where near the bmws.....
