Thank you, I have not been able to find this information. Im glad to hear this as it seems sometimes cars coming from South Africa seem to take a little longer for delivery due to wait time at the docks.

I just called up my dealer, they said my car has already been built and is being shipped to Halifax and its going to take about 3 weeks to get it to vancouver by train. So I will end up getting my car Mid-March

if you get the VIN# of your vehicle, then you can track it down. Well, first you have to know which production date does your car go to? So lets say it goes under the March production, your looking to about 2 months b4 its ready. That would including shipping it to your dealer. At least that was my case.

One thing I found in researching the shipping companies is that it takes 23-24 days for one of their vessels to travel from Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme, CA. Looks like the rest of the time would be the time to unload at the port, shipment and prep time at the VPC, and then shipment to your dealer.

I spoke to my sales agent today, and unfortunately he had no new information, so I didn't make it on any of last week's vessels. There's three leaving this week, so hopefully it will be one of those.

Wow Mantis. I thought I was anxious. I seem tame compared to you.
So you have went from Blue, to Black to a M3?

Does anyone know what date week 9 production starts? That is when my car is scheduled for production. Depending upon if you count the first partial week of the year which started on Tuesday as week 1 or if week 1 starts the first full week of the year. Thanks

Thanks Mantis, you the man!! I somewhat enjoy the process of waiting for my car as it drags out the excitement process but it also is going to kill me. Sometimes I find myself getting a little weak and thinking maybe I should just call the dealer and have them trade for that car that is not my favorite color with several unwanted options that costs more. Then I could have my car now but I know that in several months I would regret it so I wait. I think we both just need a good helping of patience. If you wait for that M3 it will add to the validity of that old cheezy but true cliche, " patience is a virtue".

I just thought what the heck, I will go ahead and call the bmw production status line even though I was sure nothing had changed. I am glad I did, the automated line was not working so it transferred me over to a cust rep. He looked up my car and told me my car is scheduled for completion on February the 24th, this Sunday!!. This is a week earlier than I expected. I only hope the rest of the process goes this good.

i dont know if you've missed my story. but since i saw 335 i wanted montego blue. i ordered one but couldnt wait, so i got a car off the lot, black. every time i saw a montego i felt really sad, until i couldnt do it anymore and had to get rid of my car after 4.5 months.

do not do my mistake man. hang in there bro. patience has its rewards
