Yes, due in tomorrow. It didn't really matter that she's one day behind. The port is open for unloading on the weekend anyway. If she docked today, our cars would still have to wait until Monday to get off.

It was actually like that when I got in the car the first time, I guess they did a scan at some point.

I dont listen to anything but local talk radio, or its on SAT radio. I cant stand hearing the same 5 songs played over and over intermixed with 10 minutes of commericials every 5 minutes

I just figured out that my car is on the Freedom too.

I have to wait a few extra days though since it has to be shipped up to Long Island from SC

Why on earth did it get off at SC? Unless you ordered from a dealership in the midwest and live in Long Island, you should be getting your car tomorrow or Tuesday, as it would have discharged in New York, NY.

That's great news! That's where my car jumps off. The wait is becoming unbearable!

I'm actually a technician at BMW of the Hamptons on Long Island and I'm getting it through the Employee Lease Program. We couldn't find many manual 335i's with the options I wanted and we found that one was what I wanted and it was going to Bramen in Miami. We actually found it as it was already being shipped over so we did a dealer swap and thats why it's going to be getting of in SC. I wish there was a way I could of got it off in NY but I don't think there was since it was already set to get off in SC.

Gotcha! Didn't mean to diss your intel, was just trying to scope out if you were not-so-aware of the whole tracking situation so you'd have a nice surprise on Monday/Tuesday, but that wasn't the case. Must be nice to get a new bimmer for real real cheap every couple years! I bet you haven't been waiting long either since the car has already been produced and all that?

drphil71 · 07-01-2007, 05:11 PM

seems like the Freedom has got a good amount of Montego Blue/ Black Int onboard. Makes me feel better in some way haha :rocks:

Nah I didn't take it as a diss, I just wanted to let you know the whole deal. This is the first BMW I'll be getting and I can't wait. I've been waiting for about 2 and a half/ 3 weeks now. They said it should be in by the 15th. It's going to be nice PDI'ing my own car

According to this, they're not. It might just say that because it is docked?

They were probably wishing their owners were as cool as the Crimson Red convertible's owner.

GreyGhost · 07-01-2007, 10:00 PM

Mine is still stuck in Greenville. CRAP! Should get it this week.

HEY32G · 07-02-2007, 07:56 AM

First, to all of you that have gotten your cars, congrats, they look great. Keep the pictures coming.

For the rest of us, how do we track our cars from here on out? How do we find out when it leaves the VPC? Is it all through our CA now?

jimbethesda, thanks for tracking our ship through the journey.
