Wtf? Anybody else had this happen to them?

Sorry to hear that. When did it reach the port?
Mine completed production on 10/30, and is currently on its way (on vessel "Frisia", departed Bremerhaven on 11/7).

Mine was completed on Oct. 25th and got on a ship Nov. 5th. 11 days. Feel better?

I ordered on the 24th and car finished production on the 1st, so I guess I had my hopes up too much. My CA said I should get the car mid Dec. I just need to chill....

Yep, same thing here (missed the ship that was docked). You might be behind some other cars; just b/c your car is done, doesn't mean you get the first vessel in port.

In fact, if i remember correctly, you still have to be placed on a train and shipped to the docks (although i could be wrong).

If it makes you feel better, at least you're on the east coast...much quicker than us west coasters. =)

i made it to the port on the 31st and was on the ship the next day... strange how they work over there

This is my second bimmer. I had to wait only 3 weeks for my 325i back in '05 because it was not custom ordered. I'm looking at 7-8 weeks now.

My only hope is that it might've made it on the ship on Friday, and website is not real time. I'll be giving my CA a call next week.

Are you using the 1-800 number? It's more up to date than the website.

Brother, I'm using all the resources. 800 number, OC and WW website. They all say the same crap.

I'm in the same position as you man. My car finished production on 10/30 and got to the port on 11/5. Missed the 11/7 boat and now I gotta wait till 11/13 for the next NYK boat. Sucks for us west coasters! :sad0147:

It'll be worth the wait. Get your mods ready. I'm just doing basic stuff:

1. Short shift knob
2. Pirelli Zero Nero tires (RFT suck)
3. Clear bra
4. Alu pedals
