VPC issues. inspections.
said there's fewer trucks with vacations. I asked about damage. maybe they didn't have touch up paint. hard to believe so few trucks going to Chicago in the last 1-2 weeks. I really think "logistically" our cars are way below average for delivery. If I get it next Friday that will be 3 weeks from getting off the boat--way too long. at least I have a 4 day weekend coming up--assuming it really does get here; it's not on a truck yet.

Congrats finally. Looks great. Is it Mineral Grey? What color interior?
We are at the port waiting on a ship. Hopefully this week, maybe on the Independence II or Resolve.

Great looking and really like the black grills. Gives it a different look. Ours is on the way according to both BMWUSA site and the 800 number. Will ask CA tomorrow which ship for sure.

my CA stalked the truck on Saturday morning - he actually thought HIS car was coming when the inventory manager said "your car is here" - he meant mine :-)

just got a call from the guy at BMW NA who I called last week to investigate. my car just went on a truck today. ETD Saturday. I hope my dealer can prep the car pronto. anyone know of a reason they can't deliver it the same day? forgot to ask if there was an explanation; clearly this is not normal. I can only hope it wasn't the stupid SS pedals I asked for. that should be like a 5 minute install and if they didn't have them they should have contacted my CA who would have said just ship the thing.

anyway the ETD to dealer is Saturday. I mean what does the dealer have to do to get it ready. pull off the wrapper, who disengages "transport mode"--not that it can take more than a minute

they do a full performance inspection to ensure you're all set. it's worth it. doesn't make sense to take delivery of a vehicle with damage/not in cherry condition especially after you've waited to long. I know it's painful but worth it.

they know I'm pissed about the delays sad that my CA still hasn't informed me that it's on a truck, not sure what's up with that after they said they were "on top of it"

I finally picked up my car this evening. It is great. I am still getting used to how it drives and all the cool new features. This will be a big change for me because I've never owned a car like this before. Pictures can be found at this link: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...8#post16190328

finally took delivery today. not sure why it was so much dirtier than other cars and why it took so long.
inside delivery area home easily paired the Droid Razr Maxx, programmed the garage door opener and activated the Sirius.
