Call 800-831-1117 with you VIN or production no. It's more up to date than bmw.com

I think bmw's heading to the East Coast are still waiting for a ship.

Question: Do BMW's delivered to TX get delivered to the W.Coast?

ulrichd · 09-12-2008, 11:06 AM

I thought they might go to Galveston, which may not exist any more after this weekend.

///M Powered · 09-12-2008, 11:26 AM

just got a reply from my CA estimated Delivery is 9/26 in South Carolina on the Caribbean Highway. I guess Texas Deliveries go through S Carolina

ulrichd · 09-12-2008, 12:37 PM

Which shipping line is that?

Steelerbimmer · 09-12-2008, 01:19 PM

Mine was completed on 9-4.

At the dock since 9-8.

May ship out today, 9-12.

Arrive in U.S. on 9-26.

At dealership about 10-4.

And me behind the fat M Sport steering wheel on 10-6.

I just called the 800 number and Eric gave me the best update that he could as of today.

It may ship out today or over the weekend.

those with a 9/26 port arrival date in S. Carolina might be on the same boat as me the Caribbean Highway. Here is the link to track it http://www.vesseltracker.com/en/Ship...y-9243473.html

drewnyc135 · 09-12-2008, 03:09 PM

just spoke with eric at bmw on the 800 number...really helpful guy! he estimates that my car will ship out by monday if it hasn't already (its been at the port since the 10th) and that i should be taking delivery in new jersey between oct 6 and 10... not bad!

drewnyc135 · 09-12-2008, 04:14 PM

just spoke with my ca who says expected pickup week for me is october 13.

instantexpert · 09-15-2008, 11:02 AM

I just checked my car (produced 1st week of September) and it has ticked over to En Route. My CA expects the car in port by the 26th and in my hands 7-10 days after that. The wait is killing me!

BMW_x5_Msport · 09-15-2008, 12:18 PM

cool man congrats!!! mine should be done in about 2 weeks!
