My CA at BMW Clear Lake called me last week and said that they're selling their demo and he won't have one to drive. I haven't checked back with him since then but will do so today.
I called every other dealer in the surrounding Houston area yesterday (the other five) pretending to be interested in putting down a deposit and inquiring about a demo car. I got stories all across the board including: -we are selling our demo if we have one -the only way we'd have a demo is if someone backs out of a purchase -launch isn't until late March or early April -(and my personal favorite) we don't test drive M cars because people who buy them just know they want them Houston dealers never cease to amaze me. I did leave my name with a few in hopes that maybe they are just clueless and will give me a call when they see the demo arrive. I'll report back after I call Clear Lake today. |

Haha. Momentum by far has the worst rep out there. Who do they think they are. A friend of mine purchased an M6 and when it got to the states they gave it to some other guy who liked the options and was willing to pay over MSRP. UNREAL

When it actually gets on a boat your CA will know the ship line and boat name. I was impatient and started to look at the ship schedules for Wallenius Wilhelmsen who traditionally BMW uses to get the cars to Charleston. The Wilhelmsen site actually allows you to enter your VIN to see if your car is on one of its boats. I unfortunately was thrown a curve ball and put on K-Line's Emden which actually is a faster boat but I cannot enter my VIN# nor track the boat very easy. My guess is that from looking at the schedule you may make "Courage" a Wilhelmsen boat that leaves tomorrow if your car is at the dock now.

Mardor,
Once your boat leaves port it will let you enter your VIN so you can track it. It will let you track it from port to port and is typically accurate. Hope that helps. Mine is scheduled to arrive the 11th and Mduval's on the 15th. SOON Baby SOON

Thanks for all the info on tracking the car. I spoke to my dealer yesterday and was informed that they are now supposed to get TWO demos next week that we can drive. A coupe and a sedan. I think I'm going to take a few days off from bugging them. Don't want to wear out my welcome.

One more question on the shipping....Do cars that are destined for Texas get shipped to the port in Houston or are they dropped off somewhere on the East Coast and then transported to Texas on a truck?

So.... any news on any Texas dealerships receiving customer or demo M3s yet? I know East and West Coasts are getting theirs. Trucks just haven't made it to the center yet?

I just got an email from my CA here in Dallas.
"the first M3 did roll off the truck a couple minutes ago." I will try to go by today or tomorrow and snap a few photos. I will post more info as I get it. This was at Classic BMW.

Advantage Midtown is unloading a sedan as well... Ricardo just called. Charging the HD Vid Cam now...
PS. Domer they also told me you could look but not touch... they were afraid you might get too excited and hurt yourself. Matt
