That's because I understand the car has to be transported a distance from the plant itself before getting to the port meaning build dates must start surely at least a week prior to the car arriving at the port. That's fair enough but I've heard that the Germans/Bavarians have some of the best working conditions around and I figured they probably have a considerably long break over Xmas/NY. Anyway, my sceptisim is pretty much unfounded if yours is also a 2010 build from around the same time. I guess they just have a pretty smart logisitics system in operation. You're pretty lucky too as I reckon all the stars must've been aligned just right with your car being built as early as possible in 2010, got straight on an express ship and made it here in next to no time! Let us see some photos once delivery is done and dusted.

I'm still waiting for my car! This is bsh*t. Something seems fishy - do you think dealers can, or are, dodgy?
BTW - What's the maximum km on the odometer that you guys would accept for a car just off the boat? That's the first thing I'll check together with the build/compliance plate!

Nope, my dealer aint dodgy, as far as i know. Given im going to pick my car up on Thu next week....
My order was placed on the 2nd Oct 2009, i specified i wanted a 2010 BUILD and complied (didnt want Dec 09 build) even thought its the same spec. In me doing that they said they could guarantee me the first 135i build for Jan 2010, and it looks like they have delivered on that...
My car is in the Mel docks this week and pickup has been organised for Thu next week
Pics soon to follow!
