The ship does not unload cars at Tacoma, WA ?

I thought Port Hueneme does not serve the PNW.

Congrats on the 4er

It serves all west coast and neighboring states, because it's the only VDC here, but I'm not sure where they draw a line between other VDCs.

I am not sure about other brands of cars but I do know that BMW does not deliver to Tacoma (sadly) Oxnard is the furthest north they deliver. When I ordered my e92 I was still living in Seattle and my e92 was delivered to Oxnard. They then sent the car up to Seattle on a covered truck.

I asked my CA to send me some picts when it arrives. I think after waiting since May to get this car these last few days are absolutely the worst!! We need to have a SoCal meet up to celebrate our new cars!!! I have plans to run up on Saturday to take delivery but if it comes in early, I am seriously considering taking a few days off work and taking the train up.

Cloner
Keep us posted! I am absolutely down for a SoCal meet once we all get our cars delivered. A Sunset toast sounds like a fantastic idea!!!

Exactly! It took five days to get my car from Oxnard to Seattle. They got my car in on a Wednesday morning and I picked it up at 4pm that same day

Not sure if you've seen this but it adds a bit of perspective

I live like half an hour away from the road sign on US-101 which says 'this exit to Port Hueneme'.

Is is open to visitors? Or maybe we can sneak in with some visitor pass over there?

The dealership I ordered the car from is the closest one from Port Hueneme, based in Camarillo. Would be miraculous if I could pick up the car on Friday as the ship arrives on Wednesday, quite unlikely..

We are on for some partying when we have our cars in SoCal!

Ya know... After I posted that link, I went back trough it and had the EXACT same thought. I wonder if it is open for a tour. I would love to drive up there and check it out! Perhaps once your car is delivered... How great would that be?

I wonder how long it takes to process the cars? Assuming there was no damage to the car ( and I'm keeping my fingers crossed ) I wonder how long it would take to get the car in and out??

Do you know yet if you or 328AL got on the Carmen ???

A tour would be nice, too bad this place is not in AZ

I don't think we'll know about our cars for sure for another 10 days or . Cars have to be scanned upon loading, then the info would be updated through carrier's DB first and followed by BMW tracking.

It sounded like it would take at least 2 days to process a car through VDC, and then you have to allow at least a day or two to unload cars from a ship. However, maybe Carmen picks up our cars and leaves Bremerhaven sooner, why the hell it has to be sitting there for 10 days

My car was released to the carrier five days after arrival at port and was at the dealer, 45 min away, by the next day. I was told about a week is normal. FYI
