Hmm...Orderd my 328i Coupe, Black on Black, Titanium trim, 6 spd. sports pkg, heated seats/ on April 26th. Im being told i should have the car by the first week of june. It was completed and shipped to the port of exit on May 13th. Im located in CT and this is my 5th BMW. Past experience has been the car takes about 5-6 weeks at the most....any one have any imput?

Hmm... completed and sent to port yesterday? I don't think you'll quite make Courage leaving Friday (my car left Tuesday and didn't even make the boat the next Monday), I'd guess you'll be on the Integrity leaving next Wednesday. Hits port on the 2nd and will probably take another 3-5 days to get to your dealership assuming all goes smoothly. The first weekend of June sounds about right to me.

Haha, sounds like you're ready to go. I guess I could have listed a few other things like you have. Painted reflectors, coilovers, etc.

ZTZ1010 · 05-14-2008, 10:23 PM

i wanted to do coilovers.. too expensive for now

gravediggingaditch · 05-14-2008, 10:32 PM

Production complete TODAY!
So anybody a clue how long this is supposed to take now from here on out? What boat am I looking at?
Final Stop = Miami

I think FL cars go through Charleston? If that's the case then I'm guessing you'll be on the Integrity next Wednesday, scheduled to arrive in Charleston on the 7th of June. My best guess would be that it will hit your dealer roughly one month from today.

gravediggingaditch · 05-14-2008, 11:01 PM

The countdown continues. . .

johung · 05-15-2008, 02:01 AM

dang.. my car has been sitting at the port waiting for a shipping vessel for like 4 days.. how long does it normally take to find it's way onto a vessel?

Justin_335i · 05-15-2008, 03:07 AM

hey guys mine says its En Route? getting close or what?

I waited about 12 . . . .

Cool. If it's en route, it should be on a boat. Call your CA and find out which boat. He should also be able to tell you to which port it's headed and when it'll arrive.

It depends. Mine started saying sitting at port on the 2nd, and didn't change until this last Tuesday. It all depends on how fast a boat ports that is going where you need. I unfortunately don't know anything about the west coast boats.

xraymd · 05-15-2008, 10:23 AM

Alright, I'm on the Sierra Nevada Highway with AJerman!!
Was hoping for a May delivery, but looks like it's going to be June.
Man, waiting at the port was murder.

Mooreski · 05-15-2008, 10:27 AM

You might still be able to make May. Sierra Nevada is supposed to dock the 22nd (according to the Port of Charleston website), but the dealer told me it has been pushed back to the 23rd. I'm guessing it's from sea monster attacks.

Anywho, He was hoping for a 28th-30th delivery for me! Milwaukee and Toledo are both about the same haul from Chucktown.

AJerman · 05-15-2008, 10:36 AM

You should make it in May! It's usually 3-5 days if you're near port, maybe 7 if later. I think you'll make it by the end of the month. I'd be surprised if your car isn't dropping off in Baltimore. Maybe 5 days from there to OH.

xraymd · 05-15-2008, 01:51 PM

I can't wait.

It's definitely going to Charleston. I guess the SC VPC serves the midwest too. I had just assumed it would go through New Jersey because it's closer.

Hmm... I bet Baltimore is some other car manufacturer. I hadn't thought about that before for some reason. Alright, then I may just beat all of you.

xraymd · 05-15-2008, 02:07 PM

Oh yeah, my Benz came through Baltimore.

AJerman · 05-15-2008, 02:12 PM

Ahh, sounds like that's one mystery solved.

If they accidentally mixed up my 335i with a C63 I wouldn't probably complain too much.

Mooreski · 05-15-2008, 02:20 PM

Are you guys getting a little bored now that it's on the boat and you know when it's going to get off the boat? When i didn't know I could call the 800# 3-4 times a day and guess what boat it would be on based on shipping schedules. Now I know what the number is going to tell me and I know when the boat will arrive!

AJerman · 05-15-2008, 02:26 PM

Yeah, pretty much. This is the worst part. Luckily it will all be over soon.
