Who's on the Maersk Teal?

ss42 · 10-02-2005, 11:29 AM

So with my 330xi /SG/Terra "discharged" from the Maersk Teal yesterday at 10AM, I wonder if it will arrive at my New England dealer by Wednesday?

Way too eager!

1. Welcome to the forum!
2. Doubtful. Not that I don't wish it for you... but it might take until then just for it to get to the Prep center. It will likely be at the prep center for several days before it is loaded onto a truck for your dealer. I'm not expecting ours until around the 12th or later. I'm also having the dealer so some installs before we take delivery (mud flaps and alarm) so that will add at least a day for us.

Good luck though, and keep us posted!

Did you get the "discharged" notice from the 800-number? (mine is still listed as "in transit").

Ans where is the vehicle preparation center?

saalim · 10-05-2005, 04:29 PM

CA told me that mine is waiting for a transport to the showroom. Scheduled on the 7th......its sooo close that I am going crazy!!!

Nikki · 10-05-2005, 04:51 PM

i haven't called the 1-800 number.
i don't know where the prep center is either.

I wanted to let everyone know that the ship docked and left. Anyone on the Maersk Teal should be receiving their BMWs in less than 2 week! My rep said mine is traveling by rail today to the final prep center. Hey, by the way, does anyone have a break down on exactly goes on in this "Prep Center"? I hope not a lot of horse play!!!

Thanks jwocky! That is an interesting read. Too bad so many cars are damaged though, makes me paranoid.

Nikki - I think it is in SC, but inland.

Just got word today that ours has found a truck ride and will be at the dealer on Monday. I figure Wednesday for pickup..
