800 number decoding: Your vehicle is at the port of exit waiting for a shipping vesse

What does this message mean for an X3 built in SC?

Does that mean my vehicle is waiting to get on the train -- or is waiting for a truck to take it to my area from Oxnard?

When I picked up my x3 in march, that was the last message I recieved. In about a week or two your dealer will know when the truck is comming to deliver it. All the message means is that your car is built and on the way to you.

Does anyone know what "Your vehicle is being transported to the port of exit" means?

To answer my own question, apparently it mean's "Your vehicle is on the truck." I just received a call that my car is at the dealer. I'll pick it up on Thursday.

Which dealer did you buy it from? I should be picking mine up around Tuesday/Wednesday from Alex at BMW of Peabody.

I thought that our cars might be on the same truck.

I bought from John at BMW of Sudbury. I could get it on Tuesday, but I'm going down to the Cape tomorrow, and won't be back until mid-day Tuesday. Scrambling to get a check and pick it up on Tuesday might be be unrealistic, John is off on Wednesday, and Thursday actually works better for my work schedule. I can delay gratification.

Mine is an X3 35i, Deep Sea Blue, Oyster White, Fineline Wave, SAP, Cold Weather, DHP, Premium, Technology, and a few other bits and pieces. What's yours?

I bought it from Alex at BMW of Peabody. He said he is going to get it on Monday, but he needs 24 hours to get it registered (I am in CT) and prepped for delivery... So, they might be on the same truck!
Btw. If you get a car that is very similar to yours but not quite what you ordered, our twins might have been switched at birth. Here is why (get this):

I ordered x3 35i Deep Sea Blue, Oyster White, Fineline Wave, SAP, Cold Weather, Premium, Technology, but _NO_ DHP, instead I got: Sat Radio, upgraded HiFi and Convenience. So, if you get mine, give me a holler!

Still no VIDEO for me .

I added in the Sat Radio and parts of the Convenience package (comfort access and power tailgate), but not the upgraded hifi. If they swapped them then do we both get to bitch about the wrong order, maybe get a 2012 for the same price, and drive the wrong car for a few months, LOL?

If I have the Rear Manual Side Window Shades and you don't then we're swapped. If so, enjoy my DHP until BMW fixes the problem.

Still no video for me either.

Were we separated at birth??? Not much difference in our car choices!

I will enjoy your DHP but I will complain about the sound system! Then again, I did not get the DHP because I found it unnecessary (without even trying it, sadly...)

Great plan! Why don't we do that!

Lol, I don't think so. Unless you are 6'4", heavy build. But! We should think about a GTG or a photo shoot!
