My E93 was on Patriot which has long since dropped its load in NY.

My CA today told me that his computer said it was still on the ship !!!

I am hoping that it has just not updated over the holiday weekend yet. He also told me that the port and the VPC did in fact work over the holiday so cars should be moving pretty quickly now.

My CA called this morning and said "it has not been released to a carrier yet, but I would expect it would be by the end of the day".

I'm sure that's what your CA meant.

It's nice to see that my CA is following up often and aggressively (he contacted me this morning without any request from me). He said he's still hoping for "Wednesday or Thursday delivery". Might be a touch optimistic, but we'll see.

At least I had a nice weekend "off the grid" in the woods where I was not obsessing over this stupid car. Got back and next thing you know msimon18 and I are answering EMI questions about grounded hoods...

No, he really meant his system said it was STILL ON THE SHIP. I told him that the VIN showed up on Patriot and it was long gone from NY. He said he would f/u but so far has not gotten back to me.

My 330ci cab is supposed to go back Thursday but he gave me a nice surprise telling me that there is a 10 day grace period on the lease and it does not have to go back until June 10th. At least I can still drop the top while I am waiting for the new 335i cab to finally arrive.

He also told me he made a mistake on the order sheet and subtracted my discount TWICE. He caught it this AM so it looks like the car is another ~$2K with the incremental tax. I checked and he did make a mistake.

I just remived my PhatBox and a few other add ons from the 330ci cab so it would be ready to turn in. Now I have to advertise to sell the stuff - probably on e-Bay. Car is immaculate - someone os going to get a terrific 3 year old / 27,000 mile jewel. And BMW gets to make their profit all over again as the lease buyout is $31,000 against a resale of newr $40,000. If I did not have to re-title and pay the tax (8%) I would have bought and resold it myself !!

haha no way your car is still on the ship that would suck real bad..someone messed up if it is but yeah i think theyre updates are kinda slow this week..spoke to my CA today and he said its at the port but they dont know how many cars are ahead of me and where my car was on the ship..so im just waiting to figure out if my car has gone into the vpc yet..hopefully i get it by early next week the latest!

OC still says EN ROUTE. CA still says "CAR IS ON THE SHIP."

It better all just be some mis-communication or holiday issue. I am expecting to take delivery late this week or early next at the latest. If something happens and I have to wait ANOTHER 14 weeks it will not happen. I will go buy the Lexus SC450 which was my second choice.

dont stress about it man..im having the same problem..im sure its just miscommunication..if you go on to http://www.2wglobal.com/www/wep you go to cargo tracking, then auto cargo, and put in your vin number and it will tell you what youre car is doin..for example, this is what mine came up with:

DISCHARGED NEW YORK, NY 26/05/2007 14:18
LOADED ON VESSEL NEW YORK, NY 13/05/2007 05:36
RECEIVED AT TERMINAL NEW YORK, NY 12/05/2007 05:38
BOOKED NEW YORK, NY 12/05/2007 05:36

notice it says discharged meaning it has been unloaded off the boat at the new york port..they would know because its the shipping company's site so no need to worry..im sure you'll have your car in no time

Thx again for the link. Never thought to check there after it was supposed to be off the ship.

My CA told me today that my order had made it from the Patriot to the VPC, and that he thought we could tentatively schedule delivery for this Thursday or Friday. Obviously no promises, but he thought this was a good bet if everything went according to their normal delivery schedule -- he has been straightforward and reliable throughout the process - great to deal with thus far. I'll update if I get a confirmation tomorrow.
