Car has been standing at port for over 2 weeks?

Alex@ONEighty · 09-18-2012, 04:40 PM

So my production date is 8.28.12 and the only update I keep getting from the BMW tracking website and BMW NA is the car is at the port waiting to be loaded. Is it possible that the information I am given is inaccurate and that the car actually did get shipped?

My production date was 8/31, arrived at the port 9/4 and loaded on the ship 9/13. The BMW NA updated a day later so I think your car has not boarded a ship yet.

Normal. My F30 was at the port for 3 weeks.

I was at port same as f30xdrive. Got to port the 1st and left the 12th. U should be leaving soon, probably the 19th. Call ur CA.

BMW rents out the back seats of cars waiting at the port to hookers. It keep the owners in suspense and gives the girls someplace to work. Keeps everybody happy.

I'd call my CA if the status doesn't change by the end of the week though. Good luck

I wish BMW would prioritize customer ordered cars over dealer ordered cars so that no car is held up for more than 4 days at any one point after production. Waiting 20 days for a car to make it to a ship and another 8 days and counting to get out of VPC is ridiculous.

In short waiting for our cars, especially ED cars, is painfully slow.

Cars that are customer sold, go to "Priority 1" and get bumped in front of "Priority 2" which reflects BMW dealer stock. Still, a week at the port seems like forever.

I know a ship just left SA on Wednesday... Seems like my F30 isn't on that ship. Anyone have any suggestions who I can speak to regarding this issue other than my Dealer? At this point is 23 Days since production ended and its still at the port.
