I believe I am on it too with my M Sport :thumbup:. MyBMW shows the car is en route but 800 number says awaiting a vessel. Was at port several days ago so Im guessing its on the Carmen heading for NY.
We should all show up at the port on the 2nd and make sure those customs officials put the extra-glazed doughnuts down, start working and get our cars out ASAP.
I am going to email CA and advise not to put any badges, stickers etc, that reflect the dealer. I also will ask him to fix my ASS Seems there is a software chg they can make to make it easier to disengage the Automatic Stop Start feature the engine uses for fuel economy. I am not sure how I feel about affixing front plate. I guess I am going to have them do it or get a ticket for not having front plate attached.
All I can say is there is a vin# once cars is produced. I am dealing with BMW dealer. I am sure leasing company is also, but they may not be able to or may not want to take the extra step to get that number from bmw. There is also a production number assigned when the car is started. If you had that number you may be able to go to BMWUSA build a user then ck the production number. If build is complete it will show VIN. Good luck.
- The dealer should throw in the heavy-duty winter mats for free. Best way to leverage that is during the exit interview where they're suggesting you give them "all 5's" on the transaction satisfaction phone survey.
- You shouldn't have to set foot at DMV. The car should come with plates, registration, and inspection all done. A reminder to your CA avoids delays.
- Request the ASS recode permission be granted by BMW corporate before your car arrives at the dealer so you can get it done prior to delivery and not cause a day's delay in the process.
- Download the owners manual and watch the how-to videos here so you're prepared at delivery:
I hope not. Originally this vessel was supposed to arrive at port here on 10-1. I actually cut and past the vessels schedule. If it did arrive on 10-1, good chance of getting cars by Saturday. Now I doubt I would get mine by Saturday if it takes that long to clear customs. My dealer is closed Sunday. I would love to take a long Run up to Binghamton NY area this weekend. It is a 3 day weekend.
At this point I would be happy to have it next Monday. problem is they will need to drive it down for that to happen. I have no issue with that they drove down my X5 and credit me with 350 miles. But if I can have it Saturday i am taking a train up there and getting it myself.
I was tracking mine it also came on the Carmen - no update on the BMW website, however. Any idea when i would get mine, i live literally 30 mins from the VPC

Man i hope not. LOL. I think they need to reset some of the systems as the car is shipped without them on. Jon would be a lot more familiar with the process than I.
After it gets off the boat it's like a 2 day wait till it gets in the VPC, then about another 2 days till it gets to your dealer, then half a day for your dealer to PDI the car.
just got a email from my dealer - this is what he wrote:
"Time from VPC to dealer is around 7-9 days depending on which carrier they use, routing, etc. I***8217;ll let you know soon as the car is here and ready to deliver."
I am maybe an hour and a half away. I received a reply from my dealer that it would be 7-10 days. WTF???!! I asked again any possibility it could be ready by Saturday, was told it is possible but not likely. Who is your dealer ojas? I would consider using them in future.
the ca just sent me this long email - in which it states i can only charge 3500 on my cc - the rest i need a certified check or bank wire....that is crap!
