I keep seeing people ask the same questions about PCD, so I thought it would help to post the FAQ from BMWNA. Maybe make this a sticky?

thx, quite clear.
Questions I have: How is PCD reflected on one's order form? Is there an BMW option code applicable? Will it show on the build sheet under option code or otherwise? |

My car took 10 days after unloading at port to clear customs and VPC. The PCD dates are running about 2-3 weeks from that date. It's a pretty brutal wait from ED drop off to PCD redelivery. My drop off was June 9th, and PCD will be August 11th. |

Sounds about the same for me. I have ED September 7th and was hoping to be doing PCD in October but I guess not.

This thread deserves a pic of 1M in front of Performance Center. It was an excellent day at the PC. No shortage of 1Ms at PC. There is one in every direction you look.
1M has amazing handling on slalom. BMW Spartanburg factory in the 3rd pic background. |

Hi all, I've elected to do PCD for my coming 1M. Had a question about the delivery aspect of the car.
I'm assuming this a true delivery, in that the car goes from the docks upon arriving stateside straight to the performance center? Or does it go to the dealer you purchased from and then sent to the performance center closer to your scheduled attendence? What I'm getting at is, will I avoid all the dealer "prep" stuff (i.e., tagging the car with dealer logos, drilling for front bumpers, etc.)? I'd like my baby to be as unmolested as possible when I take delivery. |

I believe the vehicle comes thru New Brunswick, GA for the port of entry. If doing ED first, it comes thru the VPC in New Jersey. From either VPC, it goes to Spartanburg for PCD. Depending on when your PCD is, the vehicle may sit outside for a bit at the VPC.
The PCD will not drill one hole in your bumper unless you're physically present and give them verbal permission to do so. No dealer prep crap will be installed, since it won't see the dealership. If anyone is gonna be molesting this thing, it's gonna be me!?!? ED deliveries require the vehicle to clear customs before PCD can be scheduled, where as, non-ED PCD deliveries can be booked when the vehicle enters production-ish. The PCD will go thru the ins and outs of the vehicle with you, unless you've already done this with ED. I found this out today--->no kids under 12 for the driving courses or the factory tour due to ins liability purposes. I plan on bringing a shit load of blue painters tape or track tape for protection for the drive home. Last edited by mikewills; 08-14-2011 at 07:14 PM.. |

When my car came in back in 2008, it went through the port of Charleston before heading to the PDC, that may have changed since then. My car is on the Asian Emperor and has stops in both Charleston and Brunswick so I cant really tell where its coming in this time.

Did any of you with PCD dates soon also do an ED?
My car just cleared customs and VPC on Friday, but still haven't gotten my actual delivery date yet. Trying to figure out when I can expect to get a date in SC? Last edited by VPI2000; 08-15-2011 at 02:01 PM.. Reason: Spelling correction |

My 1M is finally home. Euro delivery on June 8th, drop off June 9th. PCD redelivery on August 11th. What a great time I had at the Performance Center!
You are reminded that it is NYC "Not Your Car" and ok to drive very aggressively I was able to break my car in on the Autobahn and the Dragon |

Around 2 weeks at the earliest I believe. I got my date the same day it cleared the VPC. They will email your CA with first available, so check with them.

So, knowing that the Performance Center is backed up (well, currently. it could get back on schedule when the summer ends) and the car could sit at the VDC/VPC for a bit, say for a month. Are the cars covered, enclosed or otherwise protected from the elements prior to prep and shipping? Or do they wait to do all the prep closer to time of actual delivery and the car just sits out there with the wax on it?
