They made it to Halifax. Is it going to be early? Does anyone know if they unload on a Sunday?

Okay guys here's the update I spoke to some one at Halifax they told me the boat docked at 3 pm their time earlier today unfortunately the schedule will not change due to the fact that tomorrow is a holiday they will not unload and leave halifax until Tuesday I will try to get more info on Tuesday morning I hope this can help a few of us. But for those from NYC waiting well def have our ultimate driving machines by sometime this week.

Thanks for the update! I figured the holiday might affect the process. How many of you are in NY awaiting your new toy? I'm in MA.

I'm in NY...too bad I can't just drive to the port and steal it.

I'll be patient though...I've made it this far another week isn't going to kill me. I'm just wondering if the port installed grilles will put my car into some long queue of cars waiting for the shop or if it's just an extra 5 seconds of work like it should be.

Im having some things installed too like exhuast and grills and i heard it doesn't add much time to the wait.

danbest6 · 10-09-2012, 03:47 PM

And we're off! NY next!

Romeo190 · 10-10-2012, 12:46 AM

NY it is, looks like the wait is almost over ......

.... Unfortunately theres no other way to track It once it hits the port unless any one here knows a way how ?

danbest6 · 10-10-2012, 06:25 AM

No tracking.

we wait...

WhiteCollar · 10-10-2012, 10:48 AM

Ok, so the car made it to Halifax and the ship has left the port. Does anybody know a way to track it after the cargo was unloaded? Do I really need to call BMW Canada to see where it is?

No word from my dealership yet.

At this point, it looks like we've just gotta wait.

What's the average prep time once the cars are delivered to the docks? My dealer is located on Long Island in NY and this boat is docking in NY.

Boat is docking in NJ takes about 2-3 days more or less in customs the a day at the dealership for a detail and delivery you'll probably get it on Monday or Tuesday this week.
