Late Jan-Feb orders

Waterloo · 03-04-2011, 01:13 PM

Has anyone who was on the Fidelio heard when they can pick up their car? My Silver 6M 328i xDrive Touring was unloaded in Halifax on March 1 and my dealer in Waterloo keeps saying it should only take a week or so. That is not nearly specific enough for me!

As an aside, do I always have to write out 328i xDrive Touring? Can I say 328ixT? My fingertips get sore from the excess typing.

Thanks,

W

My car was unload in NJ on March 4 and dealer says it is scheduled to be at the dealer on March 7th. But I'm only 90 miles from the port.

Im on the Fidelio, as well. Not good at this tracking stuff. My car is going to a dealership in Baltimore. Does anyone know what day the Fidelio docked in Baltimore. Also, are there any ways to track it through customs (I did an ED), AG check etc...Thanks in advance!

Yes today or tomorrow. I don't want to rush the dealer's guys doing the prep. Thanks.

That's fast. My car was also unloaded in NJ on the 4th. My dealer told me early next week and I'm 50 miles from the port.

My dealer said he emailed the port to put a rush on it. But we will see it didn't arrive today. They are extending the lease at no charge so I'll wait.

oh ok.That's nice of them. Let me know how it goes.............. I saw that they unloaded 800 BMW's so I'm sure mine will take forever. Good Luck!

It has been a week since my car was unloaded in Halifax. No word from my dealer as to when I will be able to pick it up. The lack of information from them is really annoying.

That sucks. Have you tried calling your dealer? ..... Most of the forums say that it shouldn't take more then 10 days.

Btw guys...if your MSRP's dropped due to the March changes...My dealer passed along the savings to me, because they aren't invoiced until the car hits VDC...So my window sticker will actually reflect the March price changes.

I would be if it would stop raining!

reborn · 03-10-2011, 10:14 PM

I picked up my car today. The dealer told me it's good luck to get your car when its raining.... Definitely not in my case..... i drove the car home and on the way I realize there is a problem. I need to bring it back tomorrow. I cannot put my car into 4th gear without grinding unless i pause for a second or two.

Aw that sucks sorry to hear that. Talk about starting off on the wrong foot. I would never have taken delivery in the rain LOL. I already told my dealer that I need to see a sunny forecast for 3 days straight to pick up LMAO

330maybe · 03-11-2011, 11:51 AM

I've picked up all three of my BMWs in the rain. I never wanted to but it just always seems to rain when I get there.

I hope it is good luck.

reborn · 03-11-2011, 06:45 PM

I brought in my car today. They thought the problem was that the transmission fluid was very low. That didn't fix the problem so now on Monday they are taking out the transmission..... I just leased a loaner car. Lol

phy · 03-12-2011, 04:47 AM

Do you guys take the car for a test drive before officially purchasing the car & driving it off the lot?

I don't either. You probably should. The last 3-series I test drove was a 2006 330i.
