Alright guys. On more post!

e90fanatic · 04-05-2008, 12:02 AM

guys, dont waste your time. they will not allow cameras at all. they will probably give you a locker like when i was in their munich plant.

JackMac · 04-05-2008, 04:38 PM

From what they told us yesterday, some cars can go into the VDC and leave the VDC to the dealer on the same day.

They process an average of 400 cars per day. As many as 60 per hour. So, whatever cars were there yesterday will be out the door by Monday.

The exception are vehicles that need some attention. All of the incoming 7 Series required a mandatory program update (reflash). Any imperfections found during PDI (scratch/ding/whatever) will require some extra attention and could be delayed a day or so. I think one of the BMW associates stated that only affects 3% of the vehicles.

So you should be good to go. Did you order Jerez Black? I drove an E90 M3 in that color, and it is amazing. I think there was a JB 550i there yesterday.
