How long did it take at the VPC?
I have a 2011 E90 at the VPC since last week. The wait is killing me. How long did it take for you all to get your car from VPC?

4 days... and it was excruciating. Made me wonder if anything had happened to my car on the ship.

Don't know exactly but took six days from landing in Brunswick, GA and getting to my dealer in New Orleans, so call it 4 days as well...
To the OP, love the screen name! Great book which I just re-read after many years..

Understood, but cars coming back from European delivery get stuck in customs, a step the new cars avoid. Having already taken delivery, the Feds want to make sure you're not smuggling heroin into the US in your new M3...

I called Customs at Port Hueneme this morning and was told that my car had already cleared customs. I then called BMW ED and they don't show it at the VPC yet, I don't know where my car is?

Are you letting them do wash, etc. at the dealer prep or telling them to bag it before delivery? With color like JB, I am nervous about the dealer wash crew and their buckets of dirty water and rags on that pristine paint.

Even with a shaky picture, car looks great. Going to have to remove the fingerprints and nose marks on the windows from the car after being in the showroom. Good luck picking her up!

I found out this afternoon from my CA that my car made it through customs and is now at an agricultural checkpoint. Who knew that cars go through an agricultural checkpoint? Is this just a California thing? I guess that I will get the car sometime next week.
