Great Link to the schedule!
Which port do the East Coast (MD) cars arrive at?

RoundTwo · 04-19-2011, 09:46 PM

Vehicle Distribution Centers for the east coast are in Baltimore or Brunswick, Georgia.

RoundTwo · 04-20-2011, 07:04 AM

Curious if anyone has gotten any updates from their CA about VDC status. You guys hear anything?

jnolla · 04-20-2011, 07:09 PM

CA said he was expecting the car to arrive at the dealer by the end of this week!

RoundTwo · 04-20-2011, 07:29 PM

gahhhh I'm only 5 hrs away from Baltimore. Lucky you!

Here's where tracking your car gets a little shaky. I was on the Taiko, here's what BMW is saying now

1-800 #: "Your vehicle is at the port awaiting a shipping vessel"

BMWUSA.com: (I'm actually getting an e92 M3)

murmur · 04-20-2011, 08:52 PM

same here, 800 # until yesterday was saying "in transit" and today its back to
"awaiting a shipping vessel". OC indicating in transit.

Mine said the same when I called. After the message, I selected to talk to a customer representative who informed me that it was at the VPC

Prophizee · 04-21-2011, 12:46 AM

Man congrats everyone who's
Car is at vpa the wait is almost over for you gentlemen a well deserved applause is in order for all you lucky sons of bit^hes.

RoundTwo · 04-21-2011, 07:49 AM

cleared vdc and ETA at dealer 4/24

Hopefully the same for all of you guys too! All you New York guys, I'll be working in the city for the summer if you want to meet up and let the girls see each other I'm up for it! Everybody enjoy your break-in

Justin(OKC) · 04-21-2011, 07:08 PM

Like you guys I am officially at the VPC after being on the TAIKO. I'm relieved that my 135i sold this week and am ready for a trip to IND!

Money2536 · 04-21-2011, 07:51 PM

This blows. I'm at VPC with the rest of you but don't take PCD until May 23rd. The car is going to be sitting there for four weeks.

PCD will be worth it! I won't get my car until May 16th most likely. Luckily it coincides with big meeting I'm going to in Chicago. I'll fly up and drive back. Not quite PCD but it will be a nice trip.

murmur · 04-21-2011, 10:10 PM

what are your plans with IND

RoundTwo · 04-21-2011, 11:05 PM

Gahhhhh I am so jealous. I got little goodies from the IND guys this week, but I so with I lived near chicago so I could have them do a challenge boot and VRS front bumper

I bought the car in Chicago so that the roof/engine could be done and I could fly up and get the car. Likely going to do some 20" LM-R's for summer wheels as well. When the coupe came out with a CF roof, I was really hoping they would do the same for the sedan. When the sedan didn't have it, I decided to buy a 135i to drive for a few years until they did the LCI on the sedan. IND totally came through with doing the roof!! The cost of the roof is basically the cost difference between the sedan and the coupe.

Money2536 · 04-24-2011, 08:58 AM

Anyone's car left VPC yet?

RoundTwo · 04-24-2011, 09:18 AM

Mine did. Should be at my dealer tomorrow. Have you not cleared yet according to your CA?

Money2536 · 04-24-2011, 05:54 PM

I haven't checked, but I guess it doesn't matter. I was just wondering how long my car is going to sit in Spartanburg.

I guess you are the first one to pick it up,,,lucky you,,,

my CA is off on Monday and it looks like either ways I wont be able to pick it up before Friday, need a ride to the dealership 90 miles from home (did not order from local dealership). I did get it added to my insurance starting from Friday.

I read some where that if the insurance companies are informed that the car has a Sat recovery device installed (aka BMW Assist) than they give an additional discount, When I was talking to my insurance agent tonight, I forgot to mention that

!!!! FYI for all new owners.

I was also trying to come up with the list of things for pick up day, this is what I have come up with so far,

1, No front plate drilling
2, Close inspection for ext / int damage / scuffs / swirls etc
3, get BMW assist activated
4, Mats ??

thoughts??
