I finally heard back from someone at BMW and they said it is still showing as going through customs. I am supposed to call back tomorrow to find out more hopefully.

I suspect it's the same deal as mine (customs). Good thing I didn't try to smuggle those Cohibas back in the trunk or it'd take even longer.

Looks like I still have a few days to wait. Apparently my car is still going through customs which means it still has to go through the VPC and then wait for a truck down to San Diego. Glad at least some of you guys have gotten your cars off this boat. =)

It's not lower priority. Apparently, if they have been driven, they are considered "used" and go through different import requirements and actually require an inspection whereas the new cars are bulk approved. I may have the exact details/terminology wrong, but it's something along this angle.

Interesting explanation and makes a lot of sense. Something to not for ED'ers..
Wait an additional week for a car you have paid for or have been paying for the last 2 months

How can you tell? All my CA tells me is that it does not that VPC got it. I am assuming it is stuck in customs. What is there to inspect on a car that has 9 miles on it... hehe

My CA did tell me that it takes 1-2 weeks to clear customs and get trucked out. At first I thought he was just giving the worst case scenario, but it looks like he was somewhat accurate.

That bites...my CA informed me a couple of days ago that the car was released to a trucking company. Should arrive today, with pickup likely tomorrow am!

I guess it is going to be another week since we (ED'ers) get our cars since we are 2nd in priority from BMW's perspective (car already paid for) and also customs takes more time since they have to do their due diligence on cars that have been delivered in EU.

Something to consider in planning your ED...

I called my dealer today and they said my car was finally admitted to the VPC this morning. This is ridiculous. In fact, just today I received in the mail a letter from BMWFS stating that I needed to send them proof of insurance for my lease because I hadn't done so yet... Uhh, DUH! I don't have the friggen car! I also got another letter from them asking why I hadn't activated BMW Assist yet.

It's been two months to the day since I dropped my car off. I'm as patient of a person as anyone I know and even this is trying me...
