My salesman is on Paternity leave, his boss is now dealing with my car.
I have been told my car has cleared UK customs and I have been given a registration number.
Naively I thought that this meant that delivery was imminent. NO. Apparently the dealer said delivery would be by a week on Friday - another 10 days away. Moreover he didn't think this was unreasonable - until I objected.
If my car was in Germany on the 8th, then it was at Southampton two/three days later - say the 11th latest. That means it takes from the 11th to the 24th to clear customs and get from Southampton to Norwich - that’s longer than the boat took to cross the pond (just 11 days Charleston to Germany).
I suggested that BMW could sharpen up their UK delivery times and to be fair, he is trying to get the car early next week.
