Patience is a virtue my friend.

Last Christmas I ordered gifts for my WHOLE family from a website that GUARANTEED shipment before Christmas Day. 1 week after Christmas I finally was able to give my family gifts.

Somethings are not always in our control, getting upset and raging is not going to make it come any faster (unless it's still in their possession), so chill homefry.

Could have waited for the home flash kit... like most of us without a 2nd car are doing.

Hope you get it by tomorrow. I wanted to send mine in too but heard about Shiv selling a in house flash unit for the fueling, so I am waiting on that.

Relax man. USPS / ups is terrible with tracking. I usually get my delivery before it updates and says "item has shipped." like 50% of the time it is that slow. The next day it will update and say "item delivered".

That's what I'm waiting for, flash at home....get it going Shiv.

I had to ship some technical material to a co-worker in the mid-west in June via UPS. Looked at the tracking and it was noted, package destroyed. I am so glad it was only paper. I had the software vendor re-send from their location.

+1 pretty norm for USPS.

I actually dropped my car off yesterday at the dealer to see if they'll replace them. Apparently my vin hasn't hit the recall yet, so they are seeing if BMW will approve them under CPO, otherwise I'll have to wait for the vin pool to grow. If I get them replaced, I'll have a nice set to put back on the car if I sell it in the future...

Try calling BMWNA with your VIN. I just had mine replaced at the dealer, Feb '07 Build. Walked out paying $25.

What did you say when you called BMW NA?

Ok, I finally talked to Shiv and apparently everything is being shipped this evening. Hopefully everything is here by Monday. The shops front office will still be open Mon- weds, so I think will work out....

It may not have been what you were hoping for originally, but it always is nice to have some reassurance at the end of the day no?

rismo · 10-05-2012, 07:11 PM

You know what is anoying... having USPS send your package to Europe, and then have the have it laying around for 3 months till they are able to process it... even worse.. it is less then 5 miles from my house...

But sorry to hear this... Hope you are back on the road tommorow...

Wedge1967 · 10-05-2012, 08:02 PM

Yeah, working my way to the big single... Need an LSD and some suspension upgrades and I'll be ready. Was ready about pre-Turbo water injection and I think I'll be dropping the dime on that before Shift S3ctor. Should be good for a few more HP.

OP, sorry you're without your car for the weekend. I know that sucks. I had a 528i for the past two days because the stealership was looking at my car and they still haven't told me if they would cover my turbo's on recall or cpo, so I want and picked it up this afternoon so I didn't have to suffer a 2L twin power 528i over the weekend. Although it's a big car, the 2L Turbo moves it nicely. But nothing like having your own car... Good luck and I hope you enjoy your flash and flex kit.

IF you call UPS, the automated robot reminds you that they are open and delivering monday.

cn555ic · 10-05-2012, 09:13 PM

Then good for you...If so then monday is a go for you..
