Is this faster than normal?

jgprather · 06-13-2008, 02:35 PM

I ordered my car on June 2nd. Called BMW today and it's already awaiting transport! My CA estimated it'd be late July (I'm doing PDC delivery) until I'd have it.

Is this quicker than normal or par for the course?

Thanks.

Nope..sounds about right to me if he got the order in time for that particular building cycle....remember it is still gonna take another 2-3 weeks to get from Bremerhaven to Charleston, and then the vehicle prep. center (~2-3 days depending on how many cars they have)....so you are still gonna be waiting buddy! Hang in there though and use the support threads to keep you from going crazy with impatience!

Its quicker than military sales, thats for sure!

Hang in there EOD! U still here in the sand with me?

It's actually good that it's normal. I need July to save more for my down payment and selling my MINI.

Can't decide if I want to strangle you or choke you. Yes, there is a difference but it's very subtle. You have to be there...

Let's see, ordered 29 Feb 08, $2K deposit was received about 14 Mar 08. Still waiting on a car. Yes, your experience was slightly faster than mine.

Hmm... drives an 03 Mini Cooper, lives in Florida, joined the board in Aug 07. I think I can work with those data points.

Kidding, slightly kidding.

Well the OpSEc version is that I am at Charlie Foxtrot!

I can't wait to go on leave and pick up my new toy! Hopefully I will get mine faster than Jgprather...maybe Florida gets the hook up....where is the luvvv....:iono:

Oh man. You'll get it to drive just long enought to love it, and then leave her again! Try not to get too many tickets while you're home. Of course, if you're like me, you'll be driving 10 under the limit everywhere, and freeway speeds will scare the hell out of you. Mid-tour was the first time I ever heard my wife tell me to speed up, I was driving too slow!
