The ship arrived yesterday, so my M3 should be at the port now. No word yet on how long it will be at the VPC or when it will ship to my dealer.

ahh, i see. the issue is that all ships that make it to new york also stop in the uk and another spot i think before they make the crossing, whereas that is not the case for ships that head out to MD for instance. so, east coast "shipping" times might actually be pretty close. if you look at the schedules, you'll be able to pin down any differences if any.

Duval you are killing me. I will not probably have a nightmare about the gypsies! But really, I hope it is still there and not being driven around Bremenhaven

Awesome, which dealer are you working with in NJ? Let me know if you need a photographer for delivery day.

This turned out better than I though. If we adjust for the person who misclicked, we have:
less than 1 Week: 6 1-2 Weeks: 9 2-3 Weeks: 2 So, it seems unlikely that a car will sit at port for more than 2 weeks. I hope mine makes it in less than a week! |

Great information here. I am still a bit unclear on how to best determine when my car is scheduled to ship; it left production on Friday. Should I just key in my vin on the shipping site each day until it shows, call the BMW 800 number or is there a better way? I am trying to get a handle on delivery date to determine whether I need to extend my 550 lease or not. Also, am I correct that in understanding that a car destined for Tampa goes into Charleston?
Thanks, Steve |

Hey lucid, our cars should be rolling off the production line soon, no? 800 # tells me it was supposed to be done yesterday while reps last week said either march 2nd or 3rd. How long does it take to actually get to the docks before it even starts waiting for a boat?
Hmm, going by the shipping schedule we could realistically catch boats leaving on the 10th - arrives 24th 13th - 27th 19th - 1st 20th - 3rd Counting 7 days at the VPC after that and 2-3 days shipping to dealer, I think first week of april is still realistic? If PCD is still a possibility - it would be required to catch the boat leaving on the 10th to get to SC from NY on the 29th (the next one arrives the 6th = PCD closed) Last edited by nechronics; 03-02-2008 at 10:23 AM.. |

I'm buying my car through DeSimone. If you'd like to come down there and take some photos, that would be great!

Ships scheduled for NY: Liberty: 3/4, ETA: 3/16 Boheme: 3/6, ETA: 3/20 Integrity: 3/10, ETA: 3/24 Elektra: 3/13, ETA: 3/27 Independence II: 3/19, ETA: 4/1 Manon: 3/20, ETA: 4/3 I really hope my car makes it to one of the former, but realistically, it'll probably be one of the latter. Most likely Elektra. |

Ya, elektra certainly sounds more badass than manon, i want that one.
That ship will kick poseidon right in the nuts. 2 days is crazy tho - if we're that fortunate then delivery in march would be mad

Domer's and my car have been at the docks now for over a week.. my guess is there is long line to get onto one of the ships... On a better note there appears to be two ships Liberty and Courage due into port in a couple of days and maybe they will clear a large amount of the line so the rest of you will board more quickly.

I'm not buying my car there because I can save 4% in taxes by buying in PA. Long story. I'm also a Delvalbmwcca member.

If hopping onto a ship in 2 days is a possibility, we would be burning rubber at the end of March indeed! |

Sounds like a plan. I'll let you know when my car arrives. By the way, are you a professional photographer, or just an enthusiast?
