That's very quick mate! I will probably be putting a few miles on it over Christmas etc. visiting relatives, really glad I'll have it for then! Dealer has been good in getting it up to them so quickly to be fair. I will make sure to make time to post some pics!

I have just been told by my dealer that my car has left the port.
When i asked how long it will be at sea for she stated that it was due to arrive the first week of the new year!!! Are these cars built in China by any chance?? 2 weeks at sea? That surely cant be right, can it?

Don't worry too much about it; your car will be at sea for approximately 16 hours if it's on the normal UK crossing. So as long as it is on a boat as your dealer says, it should be in the UK tomorrow. The cars coming in to the UK are currently going straight to the dealers; so, I would phone BMW UK tomorrow to check when the status changes to 9630 (port of entry) or anything after that; then call your dealer to let them know the car has arrived at the port (you will likely find this out before them), and you'd really appreciate it if they could arrange transport to get it up to them ASAP, so you can collect before Christmas. Should be just about okay, as you're only max. 2 days behind mine, and I could have collected mine on Thursday. Last edited by MarkW83; 12-17-2012 at 11:42 AM.. |

They don't know what they're doing most of them mate, I spoke to my sales manager today and the difference between him and the sales guy was massive. He knew all about the cars, about the logistics of getting them to the UK, knew what he could and couldn't do, and did all he could to help; really efficient and knowledgeable. On my next car I will definitely try and deal with the sales manager if possible. In the meantime, I would ask to speak to your sales manager for any updates, they're really the only ones who can get things done

The status can either be instantly updated, or up to 2 days behind; doesn't seem to be any consistency to it! Still, if your car is presently at sea (at worst), if your dealer helps you out and sends their own transport to the port, you may still have it before Xmas...

Sounds like a trek! The long drive home will be awesome in the new car though I'm sure

saw an EB touring sport with 19's in my local dealers this morning and would almost certainly choose one over a saloon if I was ordering now. It is a lovely shape.

However, my car didn't go to Thorne and went straight to the dealer, apparently cars often don't go there anymore, I doubt yours will. 9650 means it's waiting for a transporter to go to your dealer I think; have you spoken to your dealer to ask when it will be collected?
