I'm expecting 10-14 days. ED cars have to be physically inspected by customs. Non ED cars have a faster more streamlined customs process. I would guess around a week for non-ED car. You can call your dealer to have them flag the car when it reaches the VDC to expedite the processing and carrier shipment.

Is your car a straight Dealer Order or a European Delivery Order?

Congrats!!! Hopefully you wont have to wait for the processing of our cars @ customs or the VDC.

Tonifyd · 05-03-2011, 08:09 PM

My CA told me it could be anything from two days to two weeks.

Yep...the only tracking you have now is the 800# and harassing your CA. I told my CA that I would call the 800# on odd days and him on even days.

Hurry up and wait!!

Does CA = sales associate that handled your order at the dealer? I will send an email their way.

edit: South Bay BMW is my dealer

kimchipopcorn · 05-03-2011, 09:00 PM

knowing the fact that boat is at the port but another good portion of waiting sure is tiring... haha

congrats everyone and let another countdown begin...

conradb · 05-03-2011, 09:03 PM

Also, where is the VDC around here? How long does it usually take to go through that?
