According to the WW site, it's already sailed from Baltimore, but I can't find it anywhere on the map.

WHERE THE F*** IS THE BOAT?! I'm getting way too anxious. It's like every Christmas when I was a kid combined, but worse.

All, my CA just told me that my car has arrived (dealership is Passport in MD)!! I'm hoping I can pick it up this evening before it gets dark but figure I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow.

The schedule is usually pretty accurate when it gets to the US. So don't worry it will be there!

SS32 · 04-09-2008, 01:44 PM

I know, but I want to watch it on its way there. It'll give me something to do.

Congratz man! My dealer called me and told me my ETA is the 12th, and I told him that it's way too long since I know the car has been through the VDC. He said he's going to call them and get the rush service for me.. hasn't called me back yet, but hopefully I won't need to wait until next monday.

its killing me for everything move so slow !!!

ARRRRGHHH! I just heard from my sales manager. My car is still on the Independece II, headed for Port Charleston (est. arriv. 4/10 - tomorrow). I thought it would unload in NY/NJ!?!?!

Anyway he says it is always 7-10 days for arrival at the dealership once a car is unloaded. So, I return from a trip on 4/20 and will likely take delivery on 4/21.

If you do not hear from me for a while, it is because I will be doing everything in my power not to think about this for 12 more days!!

Cowmoo32, here is something to do...but it may make the wait more painful:

Have a good trip and when you get back you pick up your car. Not too bad

rzm3 · 04-09-2008, 09:48 PM

leaving to pick up my car in 7 hours...

SS32 · 04-10-2008, 10:16 AM

Did you pick it up yet?

hogtownm3 · 04-10-2008, 11:44 AM

According to the Port of Charleston website, the Independence II docked at 06:00 today and began unloading at 07:00. Hope they get through the VPC fast!!

hogtownm3 · 04-10-2008, 02:20 PM

And BMW OC already has my car listed as at the VPC!!! That was fast. Maybe there is hope for delivery next week.

JPH · 04-10-2008, 02:20 PM

Nice! My sales manager also told me that sold cars get priority for processing at the VPC. Should not be long now!
