Anyway, apparently Thorne is pretty full up at present, so all cars are currently entering the UK in Southampton, then going on to Oxford for prep. The dealers are then often arranging their own transport from Oxford.
So, I'm assuming Cuxhaven-Southampton; sales manager at my dealer reckons it will be on a boat on Friday, 3-4 days to UK (landing Tuesday), then on to Oxford and up to dealer. He's aiming for me being able to collect 21st/22nd.

Just spoke to BMW and NO cars should go to Oxford unless they are BMW cars ( for their use) or MINI's, and exceptional circumstances were dealerships can not PDI cars.
All dealers PDI their own cars as thats money to them.
Southampton would only be used for cars north of the country if Thorne was over loaded, in any case from their transported direct to dealers
Sounds like a bit of BULL coming from that dealership.
