Teamsters picket Annacis Auto Terminal - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

DerekS · 10-14-2006, 01:01 PM

For those of you in the Vancouver area expecting delivery of a new BMW this month, you might want to check with your dealer. Since last Thursday, the Teamsters have been picketing Annacis Island. This labour dispute has resulted in no trains coming into or leaving Annacis and no auto transport trucks leaving as well.

Yea I heard that from my dealer also, but i am lucky that my car is already sitting in my dealer's place.

treublue · 10-14-2006, 09:50 PM

don't all bmw's come through Halifax?

eagle1 · 10-14-2006, 11:38 PM

I was told my bimmer has arrived on Annacis Island! I've never been a fan of unions, and this won't help changing my view of them. Thx for the info.

btw - True bimmers come thru eastcoast but transported to westcoast by rail. Annacis Island is the depot.

argh, can't believe it, ive been waiting for me car for soooo long, stupid stirke.
anyone know if i can just go to Halifax and drive my car back over to vancouver here? lol

i'd gladly do it

I just took delivery of my '07 328i sedan today!

I kept following with the dealer and they sent a truck to Annacis Island pick it up.

Work around the problem (aka unions) and find a way to deliver the car! Now that's custom service!

eagle1 · 10-28-2006, 12:15 AM

Thanks. Our dealer saids the new cars may now be shipped to the Okanagons and then down to the Lower Mainland. In any case, shouldn't be too much longer.... hang in there!

e90sexion · 10-28-2006, 01:09 AM

Hey Eagle1 just wondering which dealer you're at? I want to know if my dealer is doing the same thing as well. thanks.

eagle1 · 10-30-2006, 02:36 AM

It's Parkshore. Pretty positive experience with them so far. Thx

wc19 · 10-31-2006, 02:31 PM

thanks for the info eagle1, asked my CA today and found out some of the cars either go to okanagon or edmonton and mines at edmonton whooT!! but they said they aren't sure when the car is staying in edmonton and don't know when to send it due to the strike.

borsalino · 11-03-2006, 06:39 PM

strike is over....

tokion · 11-04-2006, 03:53 AM

I also heard that the strike is over... my CA told me. It was over as of yesterday afternoon.

But the wait continues for anyone with a car still sitting in Halifax (like me). CA told me could take 3+ weeks to get out here.

Same date... 10/10. I guess mine got left behind.

wc19 · 11-09-2006, 12:03 AM

any updates if anything happened? i'm not bothering to call my dealership anymore they don't know jack squat, its really pissing me off. :mad: :mad: :mad:

wc19 · 11-09-2006, 06:30 PM

Well finally my CA says that my car will be here on nov.20 which is strange because its coming from edmonton shouldn't be earlier than that? just wondering if anyone whos cars is in halifax how long did your CA say it'll take for the car to arrive to vancouver?

You're lucky if yours is arriving on the 20th.

As I mentioned earlier, my CA said it may take 3 or more weeks to ship my car from Halifax to Vancouver. So I anticipate I won't be getting mine until very late Nov. or even early Dec.

that sucks but i don't know i called the park shore dealership today and asked how long would it take from edmonton to vancouver and the dealer estimated it around max to be 1 week. Oh well i should be able to wait out another 11 days. Are you going to try to get anything extra when you get the car for the long wait?
