ED delivery times to States??

nosonyxm4 · 08-22-2015, 05:19 PM

I dropped my Convertible off in Vienna 8/14 which was a Friday. Does anyone have any ideas on time to get to Georgia???

Also, how the heck can I track this thing???

RonnyK · 08-22-2015, 05:38 PM

I, too, am awaiting word. I dropped off in Vienna on 8/10. I called BMW on Thursday and was told it was on the water but no details. My CA came back from vacation on Friday and had no other info.

Where is your car being shipped to??

RonnyK · 08-22-2015, 05:59 PM

East Coast -- final destination is Philly area.

It took my car about 20 days to get on the boat (net of Xmas shut-down all over Germany) from drop-off at MUC, then 3 more weeks to dock, clear customs, and show up at my dealer in NJ.

From the day of drop-off to pick-up at the dealer, it was ~6 weeks.
For some other areas further away from the port of entry (NY port is about 15 miles from me), it takes up to ~8 weeks.

Ask the LogInOut (where you dropped off your car) for your car shipping details. Then go to that shipping company site and track your car.

30-40 days is the delivery time on average to the east coast.

Dropped off in Amsterdam on 8/13, not on a ship yet, no info in BMW's system.

As someone who has done this 4 times, the delivery time to the states is just a bit longer than forever... it sucks.

Bluex · 08-23-2015, 08:10 PM

Took me 4 weeks and 1 day from ED drop off in Munich till re-delivery in West Chester, PA just outside Philly.

YMMV

OneRib · 08-23-2015, 08:33 PM

I dropped off in Munich on July 20th. Delivery to Pennsylvania. Was on the Tosca which got to port 8/13. I've been on a truck since 8/18. Still waiting for the truck driver to finish test driving it to deliver it to my dealer.

funk74 · 08-24-2015, 12:20 AM

I think you need to:
1. figure out which boat your car is on or going to be on by either asking you CA or calling the 1-800 BMW number.

then 2. using the info found on this thread: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=967058

I dropped off in amsterdam and I am doing PCD. It's going to be just about 8 weeks between those 2 times for me.

your's should be a little quicker then that depending on how long it takes to get on a boat.

I like this. It's very true. What's even more true is the dealership guys when they see your car......

At my dealership, you'd think this was the first SO M3 they had ever seen before. I had slightly higher PDI milage on my car than expected, and when I picked up my CA said "they've all been crowding around your car".

OP, use the tracking thread found in this forum....you'll be able to stalk to your heart's content (except when the boat is in the dead zone of the Atlantic)

nosonyxm4 · 08-24-2015, 09:46 AM

Just got off the phone with my CA Adrian Avila, nothing has shown up yet

as far as vessel information etc.... It has only been 10 days, and I am going nuts...

A couple things you could do. Try contacting the drop off company in Vienna. In Munich it's loginandout and they will give you the vessel information. At 10 days it should be known. You could also try calling BMW ED or the regular 800 number and ask the rep what boat your car is assigned.

Also the rumor is BMW ED cars get the highest priority boat assignment because the cars have a definitive owner. Even more so than priority 1 US orders, because those potential owners can still back out of the deal.

You should know in a day or two.

Finally got an update on my car (Amsterdam drop off on 8/13), today it showed up on Wallenius Wilhelmsen's tracking, scheduled for the vessel Torino. Should arrive in NYC around 9/9!

Good

Now just make sure your car doesn't get the same truck driver as mine. It adds 2-4 weeks total transit time.

That's Awesome!!

nosonyxm4 · 08-25-2015, 06:16 AM

So I emailed the shipping company, I received an email asking for my last 6 of VIN. I can't wait for the next update.

Expect 6-8 weeks till you're reunited with the car.

guarnibl · 08-25-2015, 12:54 PM

I dropped mine off in Zurich on 8 July.

It hit the vehicle delivery center this morning (25 Aug). My ship (tiger) ported last week (8/20) later in the day, then the car was released from the ship the following day. I don't think they work weekends, as from Friday until this morning nothing happened. Then, this morning, it cleared customs and got delivered to the VDC.

Now according to the BMW customer relations person I talked to on the phone yesterday; as long as there's no damage there's not much done at the VDC -- just the basics like checking for damage, topping of fluids, making sure its running fine (since it was on the boat so long), etc. He said probably a day, or two at most at the VDC before it's released to the truck... but said it can take a few days to get onto a truck.

If I do get onto a truck tomorrow... I'll probably have it Friday/Saturday. Otherwise, it'll likely be next week. That would put me at...9 weeks. As of yesterday we're beginning week 8. I'm expecting to have it sometime towards the end of next week just to keep my mind safe.... the wait sucks.

So yeah, 9 weeks, which is longer than the poster above me said, but that's probably because east coast delivery is said to take 2 less weeks than west coast.... which would put him right at 6-7 weeks if everything goes perfectly!

Enter the VIN for your Cargo ID. It took about 2 weeks (Jul 21 from Jul 8) for anything to even show up on the site after I dropped it off.
