I am starting to think something happened to my car and they had to fix it before they send it out to the dealer. I mean the web page still says "in transit to VPC" for me. At least your OC reported your car as arriving to the VPC. Oh well, I don't think I will see my car this week. Maybe next week. The bad thing is after over 2 months of waiting, my car is going to arrive when I am out of town for business and it will have to sit on the stupid lot of the dealership until i get back instead of safe and sound in my garage. Isn't it funny how things go down sometimes? |

Still no go for my Maersk car either and im a stones throw (more or less) from both SC and GA. Car's been in America over 2 effing weeks now and still i have no official word, just 6 days in a row of "any day now" I am one impatient SOB and every passing minute it gets worse.

The vast majority of cars are undamaged, so don't sweat it. I saw a nice 335 coupe yesterday in traffic, and I couldn't help but think "hey, I'll be driving one of those pretty soon". Cheers, Michael |

Finally changed to "At preparation center" this morning. Man I was hoping to take delivery this weekend. Hey LuvMyE92, which dealer did you purchase from Leith or Performance? We will probably be on the same truck.

Picking my Maersk today, as it got in last nite and CA says they can get Dinan installed and rest of prep done.
Just for fun, I called the "1-800 where is my car" number. It told me my car was at the port waiting for a vessel !! Gee, BMW, you are making me a little worried about your quality control. |

I guess I should have mentioned in my last post that "sounds like Maersk Wind did arrive in Charleston, however the port was full and only a portion of the cars were unloaded. The boat then went to Brunswick, GA where it apparently sits with my car on board." was merely speculation on my part since I have no idea why my car hasn't arrived. Even today the OC still says "en route" I've no idea when the car will arrive. It seems weird to me that most of the folks whose cars were on the Maersk Wind have received their vehicles, including some who are only an 8 hour drive from my location. Patience isn't a virtue if you have none.

Thanks honky tonk; tried that number but was unable to really get any information. If you follow this link http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...html?call=S6TY and do a look back of 400 hours, you can see the ship in charleston on 2/13 and then in Georgia on 2/14. I guess the VPC is really busy? I'm at a loss....

Yes, Motorwerks; I'm waiting for them to get back to me. Seventeen days between ship docking and delivery? I don't know if this is unreasonable, however the fact that most of you who were on the Maersk Wind have received your cars seems strange to me.

I'd say that those of us who have already received our cars live closer to the VPC and don't live in the snow belt.

I was on Maersk Wind; picked mine up at dealers yest pm late & got home with it about 7:00; have ridden most of the day....woo hoooo.....
If it runs like a dream, drives like a dream, looks like a dream; it must be a BMW...... The ship itself was diverted to Brunswick in the beginning; the cars were all unloaded & sat in Brunswick probably a wk b/4 they got sent to Charleston to the VPC...mine got on a truck Monday but it did not get to my dealer until yest....that ship went on to Calif to further unload...it had already gotten to the west coast and docked b/4 my car got on a truck ????? so I'll bet the remaining Maersk Winders will be del by first of this wk if not the weekend...

MY CAR HAS ARRIVED!!!
This morning when I checked the OC and it had upgraded me to being at the VPC, I had a hunch that my car was probably already at the dealership or would be there tomorrow. Since I live like 5 min away from the dealership, on the way home from work I decided to swing by. When I got there I went straight to the back where they put cars they are getting ready to prepare for delivery and voila!!! My car was sitting there looking sexy as hell.....I couldn't control myself and jumped for joy like a little kid opening his Christmas present and finding the ever so elusive Nintendo Wii. Man, I tell you, the feeling I felt seeing the car for the first made the wait worth it. To all of you Maersk Winders that are still waiting, hang in there you baby is almost here. I went home real quick and got my camera and took some pics. I am having trouble posting them. Is there a special trick to posting pics? |
