Two questions for my forum gurus..... 1. Other than damage, why would a car be held at port/vdc for almost 3 weeks? 2. If it is damaged, and it is severe enough to take this long to repair, what, if any,recourse do I have? I understand fenders get dinged, or whatever, and am honestly not that concerned as long as the work is well done. But 3 weeks at port/vdc? They literally built the car in half that time.

I'm stuck at the port in NJ as well ('17 340i with some M Parts going on). They started my work order on 6/9 (car got to port on 6/8) and it still isn't finished. BMW Genius guys are saying that it seems that there are a bunch of 340's stuck at the NJ port. Are they waiting on some kind of software update/emissions update or something like that? Per them, it only seems to be 340s that are taking this long right now.

It was almost in my grasp
Ordered 3/17
Production began 3/31 Production complete 4/6 Shipped on 4/22 Arrived at Port 5/30 At dealer 6/7 Still at dealer on 6/16 My car came in and I was ready to finalize the paperwork and bring her home but on a quick test drive I found the clutch was slipping. Dealer is replacing the clutch, pressure plate and flywheel but unfortunately still waiting on parts. BMW agreed to a $500 credit for the delay which is reasonable since I was able to negotiate a 16% discount initially - I don't think there was much meat left on the bones. I'm not so sure I want the car after this fiasco but will take it for a day long test drive to ensure everything is working as it should. Fingers crossed. Here is the link to the thread regarding my situation - http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1392144 |

Had it for European Delivery at the end of April/beginning of May, did an epic 3800 mile road trip throughout Western Europe. Really can't wait for it to finally arrive stateside.

Hey guys, was wondering what's the usual time after placing an order until you get the production number and estimates on delivery.
I placed an order 2 weeks ago and i still have no confirmation over production week or anything. I see some people have had their car made in 2 weeks |
