Here she is. My gloss black spoiler really disappears in pictures, but I LOVE the way it looks in person. Nice accent.

Here is my final time line:
04/26/14 - Ordered 04/30/14 - Production Started 05/08/14 - Production Finished 05/23/14 - On ship from South Africa (Heroic Ace) 06/17/14 - Ship docked in Bremerhaven 07/06/14 - Arrived at port 07/07/14 - VPC New Jersey 07/09/14 - Transported to dealer 07/10/14 - Arrived at dealer and picked up Overall a pretty long wait, but it was to be expected as my dealer did say 10-12 weeks for SA builds (mine came at about 11 weeks). |

2014 428i M-Sport
Ordered - 6/4/2014 Production started - 6/6/2014 Finished production - 6/14/2014 Loaded to the vessel - 7/5/2014 On its way to the West Coast... ETA to port - 7/30/2014 Question for all you fellow bimmer addicts! How long does the car usually takes from the time it arrives to US port till the dealer is ready to sell the car? The port my car will arrive is port Hueneme and the dealership is Steve Thomas BMW. Thanks to all of you!

I ordered my BMW on 8/16 and it was documented the same day. It's awaiting production still with no production date ready.
I was told 6 weeks so I should have it by beginning of October but I'm hoping sooner. |

I got a production number from my dealer and registered on the bmw website. The website basically says that there is nothing related to that number. According to my dealer I'm scheduled to begin production the 1st week of September. Is it normal for the bmw site to not have information this far back from production date? Order was placed August 3rd

"Originally Posted by GOLFFRR View Post for the best up to date info call BMW direct at 800-831-1117 when the voice comes on say "production state" then enter your production number or vin and it will give the current status of your vehicle. Or you can ask to speak to a rep. This is the best and most accurate way to get your current status other then checking with your sales rep the online (BMWUSA.com) is always delayed" |
