It would be much more likely that BMW NA would make refinements to the VPC distribution system to make a more evenly balanced work load. Closing down the facility next to one of their biggest markets doesn't make sense. (Unless costs associated with doing business at the Auto Marine terminal have skyrocketed.) Besides, the cars arrive with finish protective systems in place. The moment they go through the cleaning machine (see pic of my E46 going through it,) they are driven over to the VPC, where they are under cover from the weather. |

Also hoping for the Integrity, my car was complete 9/14 (ordered May 11th)...so if the Integrity leaves on 9/17, has it already arrived? And when would my CA know if its on the ship? Same day?

I was looking at the ships coming in before COURAGE at Charleston that are unloading vehicles...
PATRIOT - WALLENIUS AND WALLENIUS WILHELMSEN 9/15/2007 EMDEN - CAROLINA SHIPPING AND 9/19/2007 MOSEL ACE - NORTON LILLY INTERNATIONAL 9/23/2007 LIBERTY - WALLENIUS AND WALLENIUS WILHELMSEN 9/23/2007 FRISIA - CAROLINA SHIPPING AND 9/27/2007 COURAGE - WALLENIUS AND WALLENIUS WILHELMSEN 9/30/2007 I would hope the cars from Patriot, Emden, Mosel Ace, and Liberty would be through the VPC by the time COURAGE docks. Should cars from Frisia be through also?

Just a note on this -- my dealer quoted $2200 for full aero kit + install. That's way too much unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket... ![]()

If you are going to get it done by a body shop anyway, you might as well save some $$$ and order the parts from TMS or some other place: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html...ID=51110414371
