I'm currently out in Ireland and I have never seen so many new reg cars as this year the "151" reg cars out here in Galway are everywhere.

He did however confirm it had been built .. But that was it ! He seemed to think it was awaiting loading at the factory ... After all it was only built three weeks ago

Just spoke to another guy that was a little more helpfull. He said the car left Charleston on 9th April and will be in Southhampton on 21st April which doesn’t quite add up because the Idependence 11 sailed on the 9th but docks on the 25th April

It depends how long the vessel needs for the trip, this can vary from 10 days (Boheme / Faust) till 30 days (Freedom). Yours must be arriving soon.

Andy - I wouldn't be surprised if your's in on it's way already. Three weeks at the factory doesn't sound right - they haven't the space for three weeks' worth of cars for a start. Mine was just eight days from build (2nd June) to leaving Charleston (10th June).

I'll catch up with him next week .. He seemed to think last time I spoke to him that it should get across the pond pretty quickly But it is a great big black hole ... Lack of info is just a tad frustrating

Mine was built on 12th March and left 9th April so just under 4 weeks. According to BMW's customer service guy this happens all the time! The reason they are giving long lead times I suppose.

Can't get my head round it If yours was built on 21st March and is now in Southampton and mine was built 12th March and was put on a ship which only left on the 9th April
Mines Space Grey maybe them are loading red, white, silver and black etc first and leaving the Space Grey till they've got room later in the month |

BNW CS were still saying it was in the US but with a delivery date that didn't fit so I assume their coding doesn't work too well after it leaves the plant. |

I've done all that ... But still p***ing in the wind for all the info BMW gives ! Still BMW customer services told me on Friday it's still at the factory ... I await a call from my dealer on Monday to tell me it's in Southampton ! See I was right just to get a 20d .. It is likely to be far faster than a 35d

But what will you do if you cancel your X3? Keep your X1?
Order an Audi or a Range Rover maybe ? How long would you have to wait than ?

1. Vehicle VIN number against the ship it's been loaded onto (anybody can then lookup sailing dates if they want to) 2. Date the cars unloaded at the destination port 3. Date it left for distribution Not difficult Last edited by Sparky14; 04-13-2015 at 02:48 PM.. |

They do like to drag things out, the guy at BMW CS said they had a delay on one consignment because they couldn't find the keys for the lead car and it delayed the unload a day. you couldn't write it could you!!
