LDitty · 02-28-2008, 08:55 PM

wondering how many days in the VDC?.we should have our cars by next weekend though...right?

335xi2k8 · 02-28-2008, 09:33 PM

yeah im thinking by thursday..but thats just me guessing..my dealer had told me before that the car will be available 4-5 days after going to the prep center..

DISCHARGED NEW YORK, NY 28/02/2008 13:00

Does anybody know how long it takes them to transfer the cars to the prep center? I can't wait!

2manycars1 · 02-29-2008, 11:02 AM

I picked my car up from a dealer in NJ. It took 8 days from vessel discharge until receipt at the dealer. I would imagine adding a day or two for Va. would right, but it depends on how busy the port is, as well as what route the driver takes (do they start at the furthest point and work their way back, or the other way around.) The toughest time for me was after it got to this country. The dealer has virtually no control over the port, so it is a matter of being patient-perhaps impossible

At any rate I have had my 335 convertible since October, and this far, no issues. Of course now that I said that the problems will start.

Good luck and enjoy the vehicle.

Anyone hear anything? This sucks...

jnickel · 03-01-2008, 07:48 AM

This am owners circle finally shows up at VPC... the online system is always a few days late, so our cars must have been there for a few days. Ironically, the 800 number says my car is still at the port awaiting a shipping vessel... in the past the 800 number was more up to date. It should only be a few more days now!

What specs did you all order? I ordered spark graph, beige leater, nav, bt, heated seats, sp... Cant wait to get it here

iDrive335 · 03-01-2008, 08:17 AM

335i Coupe, Sparkling Graphite Metallic, Brushed Aluminum interior, Steptronic, Premium, Sport, and Cold Weather Packages, and iPod/USB. Owner's Circle still says en route for me!
