135is at VDC - Performance Parts Being Installed Now

Just like title says, CA said it SHOULD ship out this Friday. Would it be reasonable to expect a Saturday morning pick-up?

If your car cleared customs before it went to prep center you are good. If it has yet to go through customs, it is any body's guess. Hope you get it home this weekend.

Depends on when it gets to the dealer. It usually takes about 3-4 hours minimum for them to then process the car at the dealer, do the PDI, and clean it up and detail it for you. And that's if they don't then find something. During my PDI they found a leaking/cracked radiator so had to then put a new one in, delaying things another half day for me. Glad they found that BEFORE I got it though, even though it stinks to have to have a radiator replaced on a brand new car.

So, if they get it in the morning, might be able to get later that day, but if it comes in on the truck in the afternoon, you may have to wait til the following day.

No, honestly that doesn't sound reasonable. It's happened before, but I would not count on it. I'd plan on Monday-Tuesday-ish depending on how many new car deliveries your dealership has on their docket.

However, I will have my fingers crossed for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are all pulling for you... we KNOW how it feels to be waiting for your new 135is!!!

For me, the car was worth the 10+ week wait from order to delivery. When we arrived at the Performance Center last Thursday and walked through the entrance doors, my car was sitting in the main atrium with a sign on it that said "PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH". I was ready to ditch the PC agenda and drive the car away on the spot! I'm glad I didn't, it was an AWESOME day!!!

Thanks everyone, it's just annoying the car arrived at VDC on the 12th but they waited so long to install the IS parts. When my CA first found the car, he said it was at the port so he didn't think it'd take more than 7 business days to get it (I'm in NJ) - this was Monday, the 22nd.

Unfortunately it's a real crap shoot. Some people have made it out of the VDC in 7 days, some take 2 weeks, and one forum member took over 3 weeks to finally escape. Makes it a real pain to plan much of anything. All those times by the way are also for the west coast VDC for IS's.

They might have delayed the install since "sold" cars probably get priority. CA told me this but no idea if it's true. My car was only at the VDC for a few days I think. Took longer to get to dealership and for dealership to prep than anything else.

Once upon a time I had a set of winter rims/tires waiting in my garage as my 1 slowly made its way across the ocean.

A $15 BMW keychain waited with me and helped me through the journey.

I'm surprised you didn't throw it against the wall when your ship decided to make circles in the ocean for days on end before finally deciding to cross through the Panama Canal.....

Who's to say I didn't and then just bought another one? O=)

As punishment, I kept telling Kouper I was going to force him to use THIS keychain for his car, with what I swear is a terrible BMW Motorsport mascot:

I didn't really inquire/find the car till 19th. And since it didn't sell to anyone, it just get kept getting pushed back in the queue in terms of delivery to a dealership.
