Independence II Official Tracking Thread

My dealer informed me that mines been released to a carrier but would not give me a date yet. Really wish there was a way to track the VINs on these carrier trucks. lol

My CA called me today and said my car has arrived at the dealer! I can pick it up Monday afternoon!!!

Though it feels like its been forever today is exactly 6 weeks from when I placed the order. All in all, that's pretty damn fast.

How's the car? My car was not on the same truck. It's needed some paint touch up that delayed it so its due to show up tomorrow. My CA said I should be able to get it tomorrow afternoon hopefully.

The car is gorgeous! I plan on taking some photos today so I'll get them up soon. A few minor things to complain about, the most pressing is a vibration I can feel through the shifter. (I got MT) Both of my previous manual cars didn't do anything like that, I can't imagine that's 'normal'. I'm concerned about if/how they will fix it.

Congratulations. I was a bit upset when I saw your post about it arriving Saturday and that you ordered yours only 6 weeks ago. I ordered mine 9 weeks ago and this wait has been grueling.

Can't wait to see the pics. I drove by the dealership on the way to work this morning and didn't see a truck yet. Luckily they are only a 1/2 mile down the road so hoping it does come today.

I actually called the Barvarian Motor Transport company and asked kindly if they could track a VIN and they said it should arrive today.

Great, I hope they will get it cleaned up and ready for you today. I was at the dealer FOREVER yesterday because they had ONE final sales guy there, and some old lady was in there with him for almost two hours. Ugh.

It seems I got pretty damn lucky with how quickly mine arrived, but I assure you it's worth the wait!

Good documentation Anderson!

You're getting me psyched for delivery a few months from now. The whole process really creates a neat bond with your BMW.

Still no word from the dealer. My problem is I can't pick up the car Wednesday or Thursday as I'm in meetings all day at work. This is really going to suck if I have to wait till Friday.

Thanks, I'm actually a photographer so I would hope they are decent.

jhillnpcola · 06-26-2012, 01:52 PM

Finally. Just got word that a truck arrived and my dealer checked the shipping log and it had my car. They are going to run it through the service department ASAP. I'm scheduled at 4:30 for paperwork. So excited.
