i'm like a little kid at Christmas, I swear, the wait is killing me

My 435i xDrive arrived in Halifax this past Monday onboard the Morning Concert as well. I am at a bit of a loss on how to track it by rail to Vancouver. I have been trying Hansen's but with no luck. However, I did read an email from someone in Alberta whose car arrived on the same ship that his CA said his vehicle should be ready for pick up on November 12th. I expect an update from my CA on Monday.

WOW that would be about 3 weeks from port to time of delivery!!

that sounds a little off. i'm thinking the CA is playing it safe with that kind of time line that way when it arrives early he's golden

Not really. CJack in Vancouver had his 435 arrive in Halifax on Sept 9th, but he didn't get it from the dealer until Sept 30th. I think they end up in Halifax for up to a week before being loaded on a train. The there is another 8 to 10 days by rail. Then prep before it arrives at the dealership. I hope I am wrong and it gets here sooner!!!

Ouch…

My car was on the Morning Concert too - hope it'll get here before the end of the month!

My 435i arrived in Halifax this past Monday onboard the Morning Concert as well. My CA does not have a date for me to pick it up at the dealership. I hope it is soon since my current set of snows from my e92 will not fit (7.5x17). Have not found a good deal in the GTA yet, so it looks like a trip to the US get them installed at a Tire Rack approved installer. If anyone knows of any deals in the GTA for a complete set of rims and tires let me know (225/45 - 18) Tires and 8x18 Rims.

Just recieved confirmation that my 435i xDrive departed Halifax by train on Oct 24. Estimated arrival in Vcr area is Nov 6. Hopefully, I will get it the following week. They gave me the number of the railcar it is on (TTGX 997136), but I can't find any site that will allow me to track it. Anyone have any ideas?

My 435xi also landed in Halifax on the 21, Morning Concert. I am the guy from Alberta the you are referencing above. I emailed customer service with my concerns since I ordered this thing is June and missed August build, my car was completed Sept 19. Anyway they dug around and told me all they know is it is in Halifax and will depart by train on Oct 28 (today). I made an account at CN Rail and have done the VIN search but nothing has shown up yet. I will keep trying and if it does I will definitely update this post with locations and eta's.

Sounds like a lot of F32's came in on the Morning Concert. Congrats to all, I am definitely like a kid at Christmas!!! tough wait!

I hope this Oct 24 date is for real. I am sure my CA is playing it safe with the Nov 12 date but this would mean my car should be arriving early next week. That would be awesome.

Sorry so many responses here. I searched that equipment tag on CN Rails site and it tells me its location is Hornepayne Ontario.

Yes, the ETA is for real. My CA emailed me a copy of the "Release (Vehicle Shipping) Details" which he is able to access from his computer. Thanks for tracking my shipment with CNR, you obviously have an account with them. I tried, but no luck.

I just made an account with my companies name and it was approved even though we never ship rail.

I want to think since yours is on this train, mine would be too. I have MPPK 2, which may be installed at the port in either Halifax or Germany, not sure. If mine isn't on the train with yours this could be why. I am going to phone CA and find out.

Did you get MPPK 2?

[gonein10]

so i got a call today from CA
" car is on it's way should arrive this week and delivered early next week"

[SaliceSalentino]

Thanks again for checking! No, I didn't go with the MPPK 2. This is my 3rd BMW and given that I'm retired now I didn't feel that I needed the extra horsepower, etc.

It sounds like your dealership could have treated you a bit better. I was originally promised my car by October 31st. Then BMW Customer Service told me that I wouldn't go into production until week 45. I raised a bit of a fuss with the dealership and they were able to expedite my order. My details are as follows:
• Placed order August 16
• Went into production September 30
• Left factory on October 6
• Left Bremehaven October 11
• Arrived in Halifax October 21
• On train to Vancouver October 24
• ETA Vancouver November 6
• Pick up from dealership November ???

Your car must have been on the same train. I would think it would be on a truck now.

Congrats on the car!

[gonein10]

Went by the dealer today to pick up some parts for my wife's X5 and figured while i'm here i'm gonna take a look around the lot.
i did notice a new shipment had arrived over the weekend. 4 new 4series, and noticed the production shipping sticker "production date Sept 28" on one of them, others were similar.
My car is is probably closer than i think. Most likely at the rail yard just north of T.O and just waiting trucking to dealer

I checked your container tag again this morning and its at the Winnepeg Syming yard, arrived at 8AM.

Still hoping mine is with it, getting closer.

I didn't know how brave I needed to be, first car I have ordered. It is definitely tough!
