Ok, so its 3:00....where's the car??? Oh i see, all you can hear is the wind rushing past your head and blowing your hair in the wind.....

fthrower · 06-24-2008, 06:11 PM

I got the call earlier today that my car is in Santa Ana (where it is supposed to be). I will pick it up tomorrow morning. Congratulations to everyone else who received good news. Les - Post those pictures. G

tomshi · 06-24-2008, 07:36 PM

My sales guy told me today that my car is still on the Maersk Welkin waiting to be unloaded!! How can that be???? Dawgdog is also in Seattle (same dealership) and his car was on the same boat, and he is on a truck????? I think my sales dude is not bothering to look up the info!!!!

eluder · 06-24-2008, 07:52 PM

He's an idiot. It's either on the way or close. It's not on the ship.

tomshi · 06-24-2008, 07:52 PM

Just got a voicemail from the sales guy. "The car has been unloaded and is awaiting transport to the VPC. It will be there for 1 or 2 days and then shipped up to Seattle. It should arrive in Seattle on 6/30...but we are CLOSED! We will need 1 or 2 days to get the car showroom ready, so you will most likely receive the car next week Tuesday or Wednesday". WTF!! CLOSED...since when does a dealership close other than a holiday???? Screw this, I am going to go buy the A5 I was looking at!!!!

Haha..no...

exadius · 06-24-2008, 08:17 PM

Well it seems like I am one of the lucky ones. Just got an email from my CA saying my M3 coupe is on a truck and will be in Seattle Thursday night. Ready to pick up late Friday!

azbmwman · 06-24-2008, 08:20 PM

Lucky stiffs. My ED won't be ready for pickup until the 2nd week in July!!! What is customs doing, dismantling the car screw by screw??

tomshi · 06-24-2008, 09:39 PM

exadius...did you buy from BMW Seattle? Were you on the Maersk Welkin???? Who is your CA????

I tired to buy from BMW Seattle but they blew me off so I went to Bellevue BMW. I just said Seattle because no one outside of Washington has ever heard of Bellevue. And yes my car was on the powder blue slow poke, Maersk Welkin.

wikidpete · 06-24-2008, 10:39 PM

Congrats to everyone that got their cars.. I just got confirmed that I was loaded on to the truck today. But still waiting for more cars to load up before they leave and head to the bay area....

But my car has be released to a truck, and may come today, if not it should come in tomorrow.
let's see what happen next.

Congrats! Well, if you're picking it up in the morning I'll be there too. I can't imagine how excited I'd be picking up an M3!

Congrats Leslie! It looks like we might have been on the same truck.

drunkonvinyl · 06-24-2008, 11:46 PM

i got a call from my dealer today saying it should be ready for pick up tomorrow...sooner than i initially thought, but either way by this weekend. congrats to everyone.

richifever · 06-24-2008, 11:53 PM

On the bright side, I just got my welcome package today....anyone get theirs too?

fthrower · 06-25-2008, 07:48 AM

I didn't. Anything of interest? And where is LesLazz? She should be running out of gas by now. I pick mine up in a few hours.

sa88_hooks · 06-25-2008, 08:53 AM

A little late to the thread ... I'm also waiting for my 335 after my ED in May.

I think I'm in the same boat as richifever (hahah lame joke), waiting for delivery to East Bay BMW ...

Has anyone in the Bay Area gotten a phone call for ED redelivery yet?

PoolBoy · 06-25-2008, 11:23 AM

Another get together option since the last date didn't seem to work:

HOW ABOUT SATURDAY, JULY 12 AT NOON @ DOMANIE CARNEROS CHAMPAIGN CELLARS IN NAPA, CA?

I realize not everyone on this thread can make this, but for those who can, it would be a lot of fun. See my last post on this subject for a link to the Champaign place and address.

eluder · 06-25-2008, 11:47 AM

Just let me know when so I have enough time to plan. Once we get enough OKs, I'll mark it. I just hope I can hit 1200 before then as I don't want to during.

Joeyballs · 06-25-2008, 12:06 PM

dealer just called. my car is being detailed now and will be ready to be picked up at 2pm

I cant wait.

richifever · 06-25-2008, 12:43 PM

@fthrower - just a nice little presentation and DVDs about BMW and your BMW card with VIN and Emergency Numbers.

@s88_hooks - who's your CA?
