I just noticed this post... Initially, I could not find the darn thing and it was well out of port before I could, but since then I found that I was on the Titania, which is due in Baltimore on 3/7. I am hopeful that the car will be at my dealer by the 11th or so for prep, and then I can pick late next week. I think that it is usual to take 3-4 days from port to the midwest. Fingers crossed there.

Your car is due to land tomorrow right?

You gotta be close to delivery right? Like this weekend?

My car status on the Willenius web site is "Customs Release" in Woodcliff Lake, NJ. I assume that means it is off of the boat and being readied for transport?

I asked my CA and she said that it will be around March 21st. No idea why it takes two weeks to get from Halifax to Toronto. Also my status on shipping website is still at liner release. Not sure if that is just not updated to customs release unless it means the same thing.

Man, I was hoping on 5-6 days max to the midwest. I think I read someone in Ohio got theirs in 3 days. 2 weeks!?!

Haha sorry man this is what happens when you reply while at work.

I did not get the premium package and I'm looking to gets iris enabled before delivery.

Dealer is trying to charge $350 plus $110 labor. Does that sound reasonable? Or am I getting it stuck to me?

My boat was in Baltimore yesterday. It is listed as being in NJ in customs as of today. My CA said it usually takes a week to get to the dealership from this point, but he has seen them make it in as little as 3 days. I think this last week is the hardest.

Waiting patiently for my boat assignment!!

My CA said that my car will be at the dealer next Wed and I plan on picking up Fri morning.

What is Iris?

Lucky dude, my dealer still saying 21st to get to them. Still don't get why it takes 2 weeks, so frustrating.

It is hard to feel lucky when it takes 3.5 months to get a car, but the waiting gets harder the more time you spend reading about all of the cool new bells and whistles on the F30.

I have never even sat in an F30, so all the more for me to discover. I looked at a snow covered one on the lot after I ordered, but that is it. It will be a total surprise otherwise. The only thing I anticipate being disappointed in are the all season tires. BUT, I would think my GTS-Rs from my E90 will fit the car, so I can switch out to my Dunlop Direzza Star Specs I would guess. Should have a little more life left in them.

I will probably take a pic or two and post them, not because no one else has seen a white F30 with coral red interior, but just for the hell of it. Mine will be photographed with a 5d mkiii though.

Wow man I did test drive one but it was auto and I ordered a manual. Fell in love with it. Don't worry you won't be disappointed.
Definitely post pics once you get it.

Which Dreyer &Reinbold BMW did you go through, North or South? (I figure It's D&R from your sig line). My last one hit Baltimore on a Wednesday and was at the North dealership on Saturday.

If your's is coming to the North dealership, you might head over there and see if it is in. Check the lot north side of dealership on Whitley. Make sure you check row along fence too. (That's where I found mine). My new one just hit port and is waiting on a ship. I got coral red too, but in Sapphire Black.

Looking forward to seeing your pics!
