I think I will actually have the map update as the car travels by truck to my dealer as well. Why not?

Thanks again for the tracking info. It's great seeing it on the globe.

How long does VPC normally take?

umm the tracking guide states 4-10 days but that was from a east coast poster, and my guess is that they have ships constantly coming in unlike us every 7 days...
our cars come in every 14 days (my guess)
I think we can fly through VPC in 2-3 days (praying to god)

how long will it be to get our cars off Tarifa? and to VPC?
how far is the trip from the port there?

The port is about 1.5 miles from the VPC and they enter it almost immediately. Based on the fact that the last BMW ship to arrive was back on the 18th, I think the VPC should get through them pretty quick. And the Priority 1 (Customer Sold) cars go first. My ZHP only took 2 days to get onto a truck and on the road from arrival at the Port. I had it in my hands (in Phoenix) 4 days after it got to the States.

Confirmed. The Tarifa has discharged its cargo and has left Port Hueneme.

Now, thru the VPC and onto truck to the dealers! Be here in no time!

Finally!

My dealer just called to say my car arrived today and I can pick up tomorrow! It must have flown through VPC Monday and then been shipped up to Marin overnight. Will send confirmation soon!

I ordered mine at Sonnen too, but I changed my order 1/2 way through this torture chamber process. My new car is waiting in Bremerhaven. I still have 4-5 weeks of this torture to go!

I hope you enjoy your new car.

Are you having any work done at the VPC? Rear sunshade, CD changers, Aero lip, anything?
