The Charleston port and VPC sucks. It is not nearly as quick and efficient as the other VPCs. Congrats on the car though!

Ahh, see, I must have gotten the right person at Leith. I called nearly every dealer in the state and they didn't even want to try to talk to me after I told them what Leith was offering.

Congrats on the car though. Good luck keeping the secret.

Oh, what model is it anyway?

Vehicle Prep Center

Some of the features are installed there, nav discs are inserted there, the cosmoline (shipping protection) is stripped off, if there is any small damage, it's repaired, etc. Just a general cleanup from shipping, then it's on to your BMW center!

This wait is too much. I am not a patient person. I have not been able to find the Sierra Nevada. Has anyone been able to track it?


I found the Sierra Nevada. It is now in Baltimore - docked and on time. Just 2 more days down to SC.
