Shipping delays for cars built after March 9

c56250 · 03-16-2007, 10:28 AM

It seems like my car, which was completed on March 9th, is still sitting at the port waiting for a ship. Has anyone noticed any delays associated with Week 10 production cars?

I had another car built in late Feb which was loaded on a ship in 2 days after production.

Mine sat for a week (3/6 - 3/13). What model did you order? I'm spreading the theory that they were holding the E93's to make sure they didn't arrive before the official launch.

yes my completion was on 15 Feb and the car only began sailing on 3 March ... I think that theory of yours might be true

The cheapest one of course! I ordered 328i sedan.

My car was completed Mar 4 and arrived at the port Mar 7. Since then there's been no change in status until this morning (3/16) when the 800 no. changed to "Enroute". It still doesn't show on a ship, however, on the 2wglobal site.

At least one other person (also doing PCD delivery) who also arrived at the port Mar 7 is on a ship so I have no idea what's happening.

Give it a day or two and then check again. There's a little day in getting it updated. Let's face it, they really don't know who made it onboard until the doors close and off she goes.

Yes, thanks, there are all these delays in getting the various systems updated. In this case, Liberty left last Monday and Courage is the next ship due into Bremerhaven Sat and due to sail Monday so it's strange getting the 800# update in between (and not having it show on Liberty). I've got plenty of time since my PCD is not scheduled until May 2, it would just be nice to know for sure what's happening.

there seems to be delays. a lot of us have been sitting in port for several days. i guess at least our cars are built? (but honestly this blows!)
