Cozza mine is sitting next to yours on the TARIFA. We're going down together either way! As I said earlier the TARIFA was fine on the 8th. It left Savannah and will meander its way down, cross the Panama canal and across the Pacific. Bloody hell! That's a LONG way.

Sank! That's so mean.

I just called them up and now the ship is apparently docking on the 18th.
First it was, the car will be here early June, then it was docking the 12th, then the 16th, and now the 18th... Those Brisbane BMW ppl are starting to piss me off. The sales guy apparently looking after me, is never there, never returns calls, and can't give me any definitive answers about time frame.

Got my VIN number though, it's TZ95570, now what? how can i track where the car is? I would like to see if they're pulling my leg.

hmm correct me if im wrong but Ive never seen a 1 series with the last 7 digits beginning with a T. Could it be a P?

Just out of curiosity, where/when did you folks buy?
I ordered my car in late February and first got told late May, and now late June.
I really ought to chase the VIN from my dealer and see exactly where my car is!
Supposedly there has been a delay on 125i models. I still havn't even had a drive of a hard-top one yet!

I ordered around Mid May, wasn't even a custom build and it has still taken 2 months

Oh well, next time I'll just do a custom build and wait the extra 2-3 weeks.

Just checked on the website and our cars were unloaded at 23.15 last night from the Don Carlos aedeau.
My Dealer has advised I should have a delivery date shortly.
Going on others here should be around 5-10 days.
Saw a silver convertible oner yesterday in Compton road around 11 am-looked very nice!
