Vessel Freedom departed 4/2/07 to NY

ballzo · 04-21-2007, 12:28 AM

Wasn't expecting my car to deliver to the dealer on Wednesday the 25th, but got a call from my CA yesterday with good news that the car would be ready for delivery tomorrow. Talk about surprised! It was discharged the 14th from the ship FREEDOM and thought it would be seriously delayed because all of the rain in NJ the first of this week. Will be picking it up tomorrow in the am. Will post pics soon.

which dealer did you purchase from?

I am happy for you that you do not have to wait any longer.

Thanks. Got the car yesterday from Checkered Flag BMW Virginia Beach. It is everything and more than I expected.

Virginia requires front license plate. Notice the CA left the front end plain (no mounting holes drilled) for me to decide if I wanted the dealership to add front plate. I really appreciated that. No holes drilled for my baby... IMO ruins the beautiful front design. Pics attached...

Find a way to "tape the plate" SOMEHOW!!!!!
I don't know how you gonna do it; just don't drill this beautiful car!
Get tickets, if necessary...use delay tactics...get the law changed...do whatever it takes!

You gonna drill aren't you...? You probably already did; you chicken!

Well, congrats on your car, man! It's beautiful!

MIKEHUNTSKI · 04-23-2007, 02:58 PM

6:30 tonight! I might be the last off the boat . . . .

kdjohn72 · 04-23-2007, 03:02 PM

Im hoping for a Wednesday AM pickup.....the wait is torture!

How is everyone liking the new cars??

iatacs19 · 04-23-2007, 03:05 PM

what car? I am still waiting.

mags · 04-23-2007, 03:19 PM

KDJohn ( I think you are the only one in this group who did ED)
do you have a pick up date?
It seems to me that ED cars take a little longer than non ED ones
Let us know
MK

MIKEHUNTSKI · 04-23-2007, 03:20 PM

Damn sorry guys, I thought I was alone in the wait.

4 hours left . . . .

kdjohn72 · 04-23-2007, 03:39 PM

I highly recommend Euro Delivery...however, it makes the month or so after drop-off very difficult.

Picked up car in Munich 3/21, dropped off in Frankfurt 3/26. My car was ordered approx. Dec. 20th and built end of Feb. I could have picked it up earlier, due to weather waited until end of March.

Picking up car at dealer this Wednesday.....or so they say.

mags · 04-23-2007, 04:33 PM

I did ED too, except I dropped off my car in Munich on 3/22 and you got on Freedom and I had to wait for Toledo and like you I am waiting and waiting and waiting
My Dealer said Thursday or Friday. But I would be more confident if I saw you or someone who did ED around the same time get their car.
I will let you know if I learn anything and you let me know when you get "the call"

obscura · 04-23-2007, 07:12 PM

Another ED here as well. Dropped off in Zurich on 3/14. Have not heard from my CA regarding a date, however i last spoke to him last week when my car was discharged from Freedom, so who knows. He talked like it was more likely i would get it next week, but then he also thought my car would go through South Carolina... Like the rest of you still waiting, this is pretty agonizing!

Congrats to those who took recent delivery and those who are about to. I took delivery Saturday the 21st and the car is everything I expected and more!! If you are like me, it definitely draws a lot of attention. I love it... it truly is the ultimate driving experience.

Phil G · 04-23-2007, 10:50 PM

I also did ED, drop off in Munich exactly 1 month ago today (3/23). It is hard to believe that even EDers are getting their car this week, I talked to my CA on Friday and he doesn't even think it will come in this week. Talk about torture!

iatacs19 · 04-24-2007, 10:33 AM

I am dying here!!!

I got everything ready to go: added car to insurance policy, secured loan, have rest of cash ready in bank, and sold my old car.

BUT, the 335 is nowhere to be found!!!

edit:

just got the call, it's here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kdjohn72 · 04-25-2007, 08:46 AM

Torture!! Car not in until Friday or Sat...pickup Monday...ouch...

Upstate328 · 04-25-2007, 09:15 AM

kd - which dealer?

kdjohn72 · 04-25-2007, 12:36 PM

Upstate328 - Keeler

Upstate328 · 04-25-2007, 12:38 PM

Keeler here too. Maybe we are on the same truck. My 328 is at the VPC, arrived there 4/21. This last week is the worst...
