10/23 Entered Production 10/27 Entered Body Shop 10/28 Entered Paint Shop 10/29 Entered Final Assembly 10/30 Final Assembly Complete 11/03 Vehicle arrived at Bremerhaven 11/14 Vehicle loaded onto shipping vessel 11/29 Vehicle arrived at Port Jersey 12/03 Customs/Liner Release 12/14 Cleared VPC and Delivered to Dealership 12/18 Ready for Pickup So realistically it could have been only 4 weeks if it had been sent to the dealer when it cleared customs, but 6 weeks after the holdup. I have an M Performance Black Grille, M Performance Pedals, BMS Stage 1 Tune, and ER Catless Downpipe to install, so technically won't be fully complete until Thursday (or whenever I get around to installing them) |

The ship it arrived on was PORGY on 11/29. It had a customs/liner release on 12/3. From reading the boards, other people on the same ship have gotten theirs last week. Maybe I'm just anxious, but 2 weeks seems like more than enough time to get a Priority 1 car through.[/QUOTE]
My car was on the Porgy as well and I am still waiting for it. I am getting port installed performance exhaust and power packages, though. That is probably the hold up. Hopefully some time next week.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) The nation's economy could take another multi-billion dollar hit if the International Longshoremen's Association goes on strike at the end of this month at the nation's major East Coast and Gulf Coast ports. The contract between the ILA and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which negotiates on behalf of management of the ports, terminals and shipping lines, is due to expire at 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 30. It covers the 14 major ports stretching from Boston to Houston. i would press the dealer to find out what exactly held up your order. the only thing that usually holds up an order aside from software updates or port installed accessories, is shipping damage.

Also keep in mind that sometimes cars leave the factory with minor parts missing if they were damaged during production/inspection or factory had shortage. Car ships anyway and part is air freighted to VPC for install. Any BMW dealer can look this up for you. |
