It is possible that I'll be one of the very first people to get it, but I'm guessing that someone in NYC will be ahead of me.

Here's today's (Sunday's) info on the Patriot, from the W&W website. Does this mean that the Patriot actually arrived on Saturday the 19th, instead of the 20th as expected?

I was expecting the Patriot to arrive at Port Charleston on the 26th but this has been changed to the 25th. Maybe they don't drive around in circles in the Atlantic after all!

There is no update on the BMW customer service number for my car.

I have no idea where it is at this point.

I am getting really anxious.

I would bet... my car... that you're at the VPC now! Cool! The W&W site shows that the Patriot has left New York, headed next for Baltimore, and the expected arrival dates for Baltimore and Charleston are now a day earlier than I had previously expected.

Which means they snuck into NYC/NJ and off-loaded your car on Friday, and now they are doing the voodoo that they do to make sure it is perfect for you.

What day did you expect to see it in Buffalo? Maybe that has moved up a day now too...

I haven't been given an ETA for delivery to Buffalo.

I really would like it for the Holiday weekend though.

Apparantly, i have been mistaken the whole time,
MY SA said that the car will be in S.C. in two days and it usually takes about a week for Basney BMW in South Bend to get their cars from S.C. so that puts me at the end of next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I thought my car was on the atlantic companion, which doesnt even get to NY till the 30th.

That fits exactly with what my dealer is saying, we will probably be on the same truck from NC. He thinks next Friday, perhaps even Thursday. Either way we are going to Chicago for a long weekend and have already decided not to risk driving and parking the new car in downtown Chicago, so we probably won't see it until 9/5.

I can only imagine leaving town while the 335i sits in the garage. I would put forth the argument, that people from Chicago know how to drive while poeple from South bend (and from what i can assume F.Wayne) dont know what "right turn only" means. I see ferraris bentlys, BC, BMW, Aston Martin all the time in DT chicago, i think if you pay for parking in a "decent" garage, you car will be more than safe.

My 0.02.

P.S. Cant wait though, can i?

Hey MrSilver, I know you're anxious but I bet your car is off the boat and mine is still on the water, headed for Charleston later this week.

I've been bummed by the lack of updated info since the Patriot arrived in NYC. I guess it is still in Baltimore today because the W&W site has not changed that port entry to red yet. And http://www.sailwx.info/ hasn't been any help since August 19 when the ship is shown approaching NYC.

Does anyone know of another website to track ship location?

My dealer says my car, which arrived on the Patriot on the 20th, is at the VPC currently. Is scheduled to leave the VPC on the 25th or 26th and is supposed to be to my dealer in Columbus, Ohio on Monday the 28th. I CAN'T WAIT!

That's great! You'll have your car a good week before I do, I bet.

Mine is still on the Patriot, and should be in Charleston on Friday or Saturday.

How long did (does) VPC take?

After that, transport to Texas, PDI, then the call I've been waiting for!

Well, from what I can tell, it was about 2-3 days once it got to VPC... but it took 2-3 days to get it there in the first place. I've heard as long as 2 weeks at VPC... I think it's quicker now, as they're not putting too many 2006 models out at this point.

My dealer said that when a vehicle gets to a VPC it takes them a week to get the car, which puts me with a new 335i in 8 days!??!

Agreed.

The W&W site says it will arrive Charleston today, August 25.

http://www.2wglobal.com/www/WEP/index.jsp

This site has it arriving on Saturday, August 26.

Picky, I know, but some folks have already gotten their Patriot transported cars. The rest of us wait...and wait...
