I have my Chassis number, my status is 9000 departed plant. It's just the short 3,000 mile hop across the pond now.

Bustofa · 05-20-2011, 11:19 AM

Brilliant!

sfax · 05-20-2011, 11:38 AM

Nice one. Wait a week and then try your VIN on the WW website (if you get bored waiting!)

AJWilson · 05-21-2011, 12:35 PM

Pugger, I'm hoping mine is on the same boat.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Also have the Titanium grilles and Chrome exhaust ordered and ready to go.

I have tried it out, no luck as yet. The Car must be on one of two ships, either the Faust or Courage as they both arrive well before the end of June, which is when my car is due.

When did they sail? It takes a few days to update sometimes so worth trying again

I think I would prefer mine to be on the Faust: "the chief character of a medieval legend, represented as selling his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge and power."

Pugger · 05-25-2011, 10:52 AM

Courage set sail from Brunswick yesterday for Antwerp (stopped in charlston on the 22nd), due in Southampton on 11/6. Faust set sail from charleston on the 24th and is due in Southampton on the 7th/6

sfax · 05-25-2011, 11:59 AM

I reckon wait a couple of days and then check again. It's still too early.

I have been given a delivery to dealer on 23rd June. Does this mean our cars are boat buddies?

Bimmer Bertie · 05-25-2011, 05:08 PM

Congrats Pugger...

Went to dealer today to service my coupe and got an update on mine...didn't get the status number but dealer had look on screen and said car built, sitting in plant awaiting dispatch!! So July 18th delivery on course..

While there I did have a chat regarding delays due to Japan situ. His take on things were there was a shortage on DAB components and interestingly mentioned 2 exterior colour/ paint shortage as well ????

And the best bit is the waiting list is over 9 months now and there are currently taking orders for next MARCH!!!!! So x3 will be a rare sight atleast for next 6-9 months me think..

Must be on the same boat. Where you collecting your car from? I vaguely remember you said you went to Swansea as CArdiff wouldn't budge on price. Hopefully be picking mine up from Newport on the 26th although they have told me it looks like it will be here earlier than expcected.

Yes that's right, but mine us supposed to be delivered to me, actually waiting on reply as to delivery date... Counting down the weeks now

It's good to think that the cars are probably built by now- just wished we could get the build video

robwoods · 05-26-2011, 05:32 AM

Can't believe we have to wait 9 months in the UK and about 8 weeks in the US! Mine took 6 months ordered back in November arrived 2 weeks ago!

Sytner Nottingham said that DAB was not orderable currently due to component shortage across the whole range of BMW's. Wierd.

Pugger · 05-26-2011, 06:29 AM

Rob, I think I saw the picture of your Car, looked great. T he lead time is beyond a joke now, I was at the delaership last week finalising payment etc and he said the same, they are quoting March next year at this point. He told me that letters that had gone out from BMW UK to the dealers indicating that they had made is clear to BMW headoffice that they were now losing sales due to the lead times.
