Looks like the schedule was finally updated today and it shows Madame Butterfly scheduled for April 22nd arrival.

OMG...these last two weeks have been brutal...about 10 days to go till I drive it. Just think, if Madame hadn't been delayed we'd all be driving our M3s already.

asaulo1 · 04-18-2008, 10:43 AM

brutal isn't the half of it.... it's been a week delayed... I guess we just got an a slow ass ship

.... damn madame butterfly needs to shed some poundage.... oh well..... I guess back to trolling the forums for more pics just to get some relief.....

asaulo1 · 04-21-2008, 10:49 AM

looks like our ship is holding fast, boys.... still looking at the 22nd for port at port hueneme... let's hope it stays that way....

!Xoible · 04-21-2008, 10:56 AM

THAT'S TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats guys..... u should all be bugging ur CA's by now

asaulo1 · 04-21-2008, 11:47 AM

yeah.. but given my luck with this whole fiasco, I probably won't see the car til next week... I'm crossing my fingers just in case there's a remote chance in hell that I get it this week or this weekend.... I mean, my stealership is not more than 10-15 miles from port hueneme.... c'mon, right? oh well, the wait continues

!Xoible · 04-21-2008, 11:51 AM

well bug the CA so you are priority # 1. he has to tell them to get the car out of VPC asap and get it to you too. i dont see why u wont get it this weekend. sounds very feasible

dbacon · 04-21-2008, 03:09 PM

So close. I figure Sat the soonest, Sun most likely, Mon the latest. It would be great if the Madame pulled in late tonight!

+1

I'm guessing I'll get it by Monday or Tuesday of next week but I hope it's sooner. Everyone, regardless of the wait, it's not too much longer.

!Xoible · 04-21-2008, 05:03 PM

let's see.. my vessel arrived on sunday, i drove my car on friday. so that's 5 days. if ur vessel arrives tuesday then sunday/monday is ur day i guess!

but probably doesnt apply to Mx3 coz up norte

asaulo1 · 04-21-2008, 05:12 PM

cool... i thought you guys weren't tracking it as obsessively as I am

well, here's wishing for the best for all of us.... any mods you guys think of doing as soon as you get your hands on your cars? Keep your fingers crossed... as soon as I hear anything, I definitely will give a shout out...

!Xoible · 04-21-2008, 05:12 PM

LOL im even still tracking it every morning hahah

that's funny... are you thinking you have another M car coming off the madame?

Mx3 · 04-22-2008, 12:04 PM

Madame Butterfly is now at port. I called the port directly to get this information.

asaulo1 · 04-22-2008, 01:19 PM

nice going MX3....I emailed my CA yesterday and he did say that it was still on schedule to port today.... he did say, however, that it takes anywhere between 7-10 days after for delivery to me.... I'm just hoping he's saying that for the "underpromise, overdeliver" customer service... since he's literally not more than 10 miles away from the VPC.... i'm praying that I get it this weekend so I can drive it for some time prior to bimmerfest....

getting close, boys, getting close

dbacon · 04-22-2008, 01:36 PM

Finally docked. Now...more waiting for the last leg of the journey. I'm checking BMW OC to see my status change from En Route to VPC. This better happen today.

asaulo1 · 04-22-2008, 01:59 PM

doubt it if that'll change in the OC today.. they're usually a few days late with the updates.. you'll probably be better off calling the 800 no. and talking to a live person... they might have the latest.... Cheers.... almost there

!Xoible · 04-22-2008, 04:15 PM

forget OC make ur CA do some work

asaulo1 · 04-23-2008, 10:24 AM

looks like the madame has left port hueneme.... any news, people? you think we'll be getting our cars within this week? I sure hope so....
