Yeah, that is a good point. Of course, having enough time to burn a 100 song CD is a luxury...plus I'm lazy and like the idea of simply plugging in the iPod and calling it good. Guess I will pay for that laziness.

It supports ID3 Tag version 1.x. Song title and Artist are what will show up in iDrive.

Wow. That's fast. So did he say that it was already through the VPC process and ready to load on a truck?

san123 · 11-12-2006, 01:13 PM

Nope..He didnot say that...he said that ETA is 15th and he will call me as soon as the car is here, so that he can schedule a time for delivery.

Thanks for the information...that is a fast turnaround. With any luck, we may all be driving our cars next weekend!

Which dealership?

edit: nvm, you already said you're from Berkeley

therealm3 · 11-12-2006, 11:10 PM

Wow! the 15th! That is awsome. Hopefully mine is here around then too.

san123 · 11-12-2006, 11:15 PM

I got mine at BMW of Fremont

Kablemodem · 11-13-2006, 03:25 AM

OC now says my car is at the VPC. If you guys up north are getting your cars on Wednesday maybe I'll get mine on Tuesday. Can we pick up our cars the same day the dealer gets them?

tibbz · 11-13-2006, 03:26 AM

My status on OC went to "at Perpetration Center" today.....only days now....damn I can't wait

edit: damn Kablemodem beat me to the punch....lol

JW28 · 11-13-2006, 11:45 AM

Its a damn good thing I found this forum...OC still says mine is in transit. 800 number says still sitting at the port. BMW should just link OC directly to E90post and save everybody the pain.

tommithy · 11-13-2006, 12:02 PM

w00t!! Mine says at prep center as well.

san123 · 11-13-2006, 01:02 PM

mine too showing at VPC!!!

JW28 · 11-13-2006, 01:39 PM

Well, mine remains unchanged. Probably left the car on the boat and are taking it back to Germany....

Kablemodem · 11-13-2006, 02:54 PM

They always keep one car to race around the empty decks. You'll probably get it on the next trip.

Well, at least I won't have to worry about the break-in period....

That is some funny $hit.

OC shows me at VPC and 800# says awaiting shipping vessel. Either way, I am hoping to have it for the weekend. Lets all pray to the rain gods for good weather this weekend.

tommithy · 11-13-2006, 04:45 PM

I'd love some good weather up here. All I'll see is rain for the next 6 months. I'm still waiting for my sales associate to get back to me with any info he may have as to where my car is in the VPC stage of things. I'm thinking it's going to be next week for us northwesterners.

tommithy did you buy from Portland or did you head up North? I lived in Vancouver for 10 years. I don't miss the rain but I would take it over the snow for the next couple of weeks until I get my car and I can put the Blizzaks on.

Funny until you find out some merchant marine drove your brand new BMW off the deck somewhere around Greenland. Probably landed right on top of the Titanic with my luck. Hopefully he is screaming "I'm the king of the world!" on the way down.

Seriously...my CA is awol now and both OC and 800 # are unchanged. Does everybody's info reflect being at the VPC?
