I need to trade in my car and it hasnt been priced or appraised yet, so he told me to come in anytime this week except for friday.. If I want to kill 2 birds with 1 stone he said come saturday for the best chance! I think we r on the same truck!

dealer says my car will be there monday morning and i can pick it up tuesday

matt_435xi · 04-06-2007, 06:27 PM

well boys, my car never made it. she was released to carrier a long time ago, sitting on some truck. there is an outside chance she is delivered tonight/early tomorrow and i pick her up before Easter. but it appears i am picking her up next week. it sucks being let down...as Zep said its all about expectations.

Hey me too matt... Called my dealership and they are clueless. My CA is off today, but it doesnt seem like they got any deliveries today. I've been checking OC and it STILL says 'En Route', while everyone else that was on my ship 'Courage' has had their status changed to 'Preperation Center'... Their OC even gives them an estimated delivery date! I have a feeling my car is still at the docks or stuck at customs

Hey, I think I saw that you ordered from WG in Ft. Washington. So did I. I have an appointment to pick my car up on Monday b/c our truck is coming in on Saturday... BUT look what OC says--I am driving there RIGHT NOW (the ambler location is where they get their deliveries) and going to find it... If it is there, I am going to the dealer tomorrow and demanding to take delivery... I don't want to wait until Monday, like my CA wants me to...

matt_435xi · 04-06-2007, 11:28 PM

good luck temple, my OC didn't update yet. i told ya one of use would get it this weekend!

TempleBoyJM · 04-06-2007, 11:34 PM

GUYS!!!!! I found all the WG deliveries in the Ambler location... and the best part is -- i couldn't find mine... then i looked in the garage and there she was - OMG, what a beauty. they removed all the plastic, the battery charger thing, the door protectors, and shined the wheels!!! I have a feeling that I am taking delivery tomorrow--my car was the only one in the garage that was new and was already prepped!!! And krapnoj, i checked for an E90 335i in white, but couldn't find one. just blue 328xi's and E93's.

Oh, I hope i take delivery tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now that i saw the car, i think the color combo is GREAT!!! i'll let you know what happens tomorrow!

Hey thx for checking and looking out for mine TempleBoyJM, I had a bad feeling that I would not see her just yet.. Too good to be true! But hey congrats on yours, hope you do get it tomorrow. Let us know what goes down.

no prob! i didn't check the Ft. Washington location (where we ordered from) - maybe it's there, but i can't confirm. my CA told me the deliveries are made to Ambler and I saw them all there, lined up with battery chargers and plastic and all... but... my car wasn't supposed to be there until tomorrow and came a day early... yours may show up tomorrow. i will def let you know what happens tomorrow--but i think it would be pathetic that they already prepped it on Friday and would make me wait until Monday.... we'll see.

I went by the ft. washington & ambler locations earlier around 11 and didnt see my E90, but I didnt check the garages. I did see the new E93's and some new X3's. I'm actually going to head there in the morning myself to get a trade-in-value on my current car. I will definately get some answers then, as my CA will be back from his day off.

DUH CAR · 04-07-2007, 08:05 AM

My car is now at the Car Yard north of Toronto. Should take delivery this week.

matt_435xi · 04-07-2007, 08:22 AM

good luck to those trying to squeeze in a delivery before Easter. my CA said he would call at opening (9am) in the outside chance they received mine last night. looks like i will be taking delivery next week.

Apparantly the new cooling system that BMW has started including in the sport package model vehicles are causing inspection failures upon arrival, and they've already sent back a handful of vehicles (due to the steady flow of incoming vehicles for summer orders, they can only keep them at bay for so many days) to have them disassembled.

I don't know, I have a sport package and the numbers dont seem right. I'm putting my seat belt on, grabbing a bag of popcorn, and getting ready for a ride.

This was a post in the "Courage Thread" by someone thats waiting too.. I dont know how true it is, but my car arrived on Monday the 2nd and OC still says its 'In Transit' so i'm starting to believe its true..:mad:

TempleBoyJM · 04-07-2007, 10:19 AM

oh well, i have to wait until Monday. even though the car came in a day earlier than scheduled (FRIDAY), and started the prep process on Friday, my ca told me that:
"There is a lot more involved than just taking plastic off of seats and washing the car--That's why we made an appointment on Monday. This final inspection is a two-day process, and my finance guy isn't here today anyway."

what does that sound like to you guys?

matt_435xi · 04-07-2007, 12:33 PM

sorry to hear that temple, my car never made it to Ottos?! they were expecting about 15 different cars and none of them made it. i am looking at Tuesday delivery at the earliest, what a let down!

matt_435xi · 04-07-2007, 01:30 PM

just talked to someone at Ottos my car was relesed to the truck carrier on April 3rd!! And it still not here?! He said because this is a holiday weekend they have not recieved many cars, and Tuesday would probably be the earliest.

javabmw · 04-08-2007, 11:17 AM

Status is now "in transit" which I hope means - on its way to RI..

Of course, the OC say at VPC..

Last few days..

scb · 04-09-2007, 02:08 PM

picking mine up at 4pm tuesday

javabmw · 04-09-2007, 05:51 PM

Of course, it is ready for pick up on Wenesday. As life has it, I am traveling until Sunday! So Monday afternoon pickup! Can't wait!!!!

TempleBoyJM · 04-09-2007, 09:18 PM

guys... i took delivery today. all i can say is that this is my 1st bimmer and will NOT be my last. it's even better than the test drives--and the leather is so intoxicating. i can't even describe it. all i want to do is keep driving. the bluetooth is incredible. those 6 new buttons are touch sensitive. just put your finger next to it and the shortcuts just appear in the bottom of the screen. the seats heat so fast--the fastest i've ever used. adaptive xenons-awesome. unlock and the angel eyes gradually increase to full brightness, lock and they slowly dim to off. the engine--it's like it sings to you as the RPM's near redline. here it is, the icon "officially" saved for taking delivery:
