Jon, you and the other BMW dealers should ask for some C-130's...

Hey, Jon,

I think you and all BMW dealers should call 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and tell the President that if he won't invoke Taft-Hartley in the West Coast labor dispute, then he should send some C-130's to Germany to pick up your cars - they could come into LAX!

Or, I suppose you could call Herr Schroeder and have Lufthansa do the honors! :rolleyes:

Or, Mr. Scott could show up from the future, with some transparent aluminum and dilithium crystals (if he can Transport a couple of whales, a few BMW's shouldn't be a problem! :lmao: )

Seriously - it will be a bummer for everyone if you and all the other dealers start running out of cars!

[Jon S.]

We have already more than started running out of cars.

When I open up this morning, I will have only 11, yes
eleven new BMWs available for retail delivery in
stock.

That's a little more than one weeks' supply...

Actually, regardless of the strike, BMW should offer an airfreight option. I would think more than a few people would be willing to pay, say, $1K extra to get their custom ordered bimmer a few weeks earlier than if shipped by sea.

The Russians are offerin An-124 airlifters for commercial use, and you could probably even set up a standard issue 747-400F to carry cars.

There could be money to be made here.
