xDrive Hold up?
I have a 335i xDrive M Sport 6MT on order. It arrived on the Don Juan on Aug 9th. And has been stuck at the VDC in Jersey since. My CA has no information other than they believe its an emissions problem. The only other information I have received was it was supposed to make it onto a truck Aug 13, however that day there was a work order started, but not for damage.
Anyways, is anyone having the same problem or know what the hold up is? Thanks! |

Its going to Tulley. They have been awesome in the past and everyone I've sent up there has had a good experience. So that makes it abet more frustrating.
They have been receiving their ordered cars no problem minus the 335i xDrives 6MT. And haven't been getting allot of information aside from its a possible emissions problem. So with that being said I'm hoping someone will come along and shed some light on why these particular cars are being held up at the VDC. I hope yours gets through quickly and smoothly. |

I also have a 335i xDrive 6MT that's scheduled to leave Bremerhaven on Saturday, so I'm curious to see if I am going to have the same problem. Hopefully, your issue is resolved quickly, and we both get our cars soon. If anyone out there has taken delivery of a 2013 335i xDrive 6MT, that would be really good to know. |

My car is sitting at Bremerhaven as well, and will hopefully ship out on next available boat. How can you determine when a car is scheduled ship from Bremerhaven?
Thanks! |

Of course, it's the only way to drive

Mine has been sitting at the VDC in Jersey since the 9th. It got on a ship quick in Bremerhaven, 3 days or so after production. It was supposed to get delivered to Tulley last Monday (13th), never got there. There's my frustration! When they called BMWNA I guess they were told it was an emissions problem. But clearly that isn't the case. Anyone have any ideas? Last edited by Bosco493; 08-23-2012 at 09:40 PM.. |

I called the BMWNA number, it updated quick. Then once it was on a shipping vessel I checked the W&W website and figured it from there. My CA called me once it was on a ship to confirm it.

Based upon the other people that have already taken delivery of their 2013 335i xDrive vehicles, it sounds like something strange is happening with your car. I have heard that random cars get pulled for EPA testing, but the two week delay seems odd. I'm betting that EPA certification (which is what Frank also said in an e-mail to me yesterday) is not really the issue here. Hopefully you will get a call today or tomorrow and that will be the end of it! |

I don't have a manual transmission but I still doubt EPA has anything to do with it.

I've heard varying things about the EPA stuff. That was more or less my intent with the post initially, hopefully there is a SME on this stuff on here. And if the car was pulled for testing, is there a projected time frame on it etc. I hope you dont run into the same problems! I will keep my fingers crossed |

Has anyone else received a 335i xDrive with a 6-speed? And if not why the car would be held in Jersey? |

My car left Bremerhaven on Saturday aboard the Don Juan, and it is due in New York next Wednesday. I'm excited since this is such a fast run (only 11 days). It somewhat makes up for all of the delays earlier in the process. That assumes, of course, that it doesn't sit at the port once it arrives. Please let me know if you hear anything more... |

Any word yet?
Hi Bosco,
Any word yet? I'm wondering if your car had one of the defective FEM units that people have been writing about. It seems that there were some problems with at lease one batch of those, and cars with the faulty units were having some real issues. My car arrives in NY on Thursday, so I will soon know if I have similar issues. Hopefully, they have it all worked out by now... |
