Thorne distribution center

Bmw genius gave me their number as mine has now moved to 9650. I rang them and they only speak to dealers which is fair enough but I am sure I saw somewhere cars went straight from docks to dealers now? Its going to a northern dealer.

I did try and search but its knackered in the app again.

Northern dealer delivery will go via Thorne. Turnaround is normally less than 24 hours - unless it has been damaged on the boat

I have just chosen my number plate which has made me happy though!

She is in "consignment" apparently which I hope means on the back of a lorry to the dealer!

I agreed a deal on a new F31 in July last year whilst it was sat at the docks in Southampton - it arrived at Sytner Coventry 3 days later and I collected 2 days after that.

Mine came in at Southampton and went to Thorne only to be sent back to my southern dealer

Thorne Distribution?

This place had quite a reputation a few years ago!

A forum member had a Google Map pic which showed massive doughnuts in their car park!

Who has a M2, M3, M4 or an M5 out there?

Oh Well, that was a long time ago and am sure they are good boys now!

All to do with transporter allocations and maximising loads
