Red face OK.. SERIOUSLY WHATS THE DEAL, its here but i cant have it?????

I been tracking my 08 m3 since i ordered it back in august
ANDDD i knew what boat it was on (faust, comming into NY) and it arrived on the 26th..

now the crazy part!
Another person at my dealership ordered a 335 and it was being shipped on the same boat, AND THEY GOT THEIR CAR SATURDAY...

I'm assuming bmw is holding the M3's untill a release date or something, can anyone give me any info about this... when it might be?? what i can do in the meantime??

BMWNA has said no car can be released or officially shown until this Saturday, March 8, which is US Launch day for the M3. So, no, they are not picking on just you, though I unsersand how frustrated you must be.

According to the Port of Charlestown web page the Faust did not arrive until well after the 26th - it was in somewhere around the 1st. These ships do roughly a 10 day cycle - is it possible the 335 was on the previous voyage?

I find out today that mine will not be released till the 8th. That means, it won't be at my dealer till at least the 10th or 11th. I am not sure if that is the case for everyone, or just my dealer. He said it will not be shipped from the VPC till the launch date. Sounds Bull s**t to me, but I have waited this long. The funny thing is, they are getting a demo delivered by Sat. Why can't they put my car along with it, and keep it at the dealer till the 9th or something instead of waiting till after the 8th to ship, I don't know. I am so upset.

I think they already shipped it to the dealer, but are going to take a few days to joy ride in it before calling you for pickup

I don't know if that is what happened or if it was what was supposed to happen. The WW info never even mentions Charlestown yet it clearly went there. Is there any proof the car was unloaded at New York (New Jersey?) and not at Charlestown?. Another member's M3 was on the Faust and it went to Charlestown. You can see the timing in this thread:

http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...=115003&page=4

The following site breaks consistently but when it works you can see a detailed report on when the Faust was there:

that car better have less than 10 miles on it when I get it. I am gonna be at the dealership every day till it gets there. I just got a call that it will be there on the 9th (Sunday), so the earliest I can get it will be Monday.
