I suggest the OP threaten to cancel the order and take his business elsewhere.

I just want to see the final result of all of this. I can't wait until I finally receive the car and ask them straight in their faces why it took all this time. My own estimated delivery time is Christmas now lol. I'm assuming if it doesnt come by then, then the carrier drove off a cliff; who knows, they might have already drove off a cliff.

My 335d arrived at the dealer yesterday and I picked it up today. It arrived at the VPC on about October 17, so total time from VPC to dealer was about 2.5 weeks.
The car stank on the inside - not a new car smell, but something like a glue or strong solvent. This was an ED, and the car did not smell like this when I dropped it off. I'd be curious to see if there was something like that when your car finally arrives. Good luck and keep us posted.

At least your cars are in the US. Mine is stuck at the dock in Germany. I have heard a rumor that there is a port authority strike in Germany, so the cars are not getting put on the ships. My car was done with production and at the docks on 10/11 and it is still sitting there. I am getting really annoyed.

Here's my new plan.
I am canceling my order and making them reorder my car. So ridiculous.

As others have mentioned, nobody is required to disclose anything to you as the buyer. The car could have rolled off the ship into the water - if they can fix it, they will, and you would never know. Perfectly legal (for whatever stupid reason).

Ok, so they finally found my car. It was at the port the entire time, collecting dust. I asked about potential damage and the dealer said there was none and there was an error between the port and the truck company. FAIL.
On the next truck out to BMW of Annapolis; hopefully arriving by the end of this week. At the end of this debacle, I am amazed at the lack of communication and organization between BMW, the port, the truck company, and the dealer. But at least I'm getting my car.

Congrats! When you pick it up, make sure you inspect it very carefully. Hopefully they're being honest and nothing's gone wrong, but it's better to be safe.
Oh and post some pics up when you finally get it |

WOOHOO my car is here, picking it up today when I drive back to MD from Pittsburgh! So weird that once you flex some muscle the dealership magically found my car in less than 24 hrs lol.
