Vehicle Preparation Center
I have seen some old threads but was wondering about how much time people who ordered in 2011 had their cars at the VPC. It seems like the ones that are there longer tend to be damaged. How much time was your car at the VPC? Did the dealer mention any damage (only required if over $3600, I think)?

This really doesn't apply to the X3 does it? I don't believe the US built cars will go to the VPC - this is for those vehicles transported on ships. Honestly, I could be wrong, but the main purpose for the VPC is to remove all the cosmolene, do an inspection, repair any damage, and coordinate ground transportation.

My status shows "at Vehicle Prep center", but in fact is in transit to the West Coast (confirmed by dealer). I'm not sure the status bars on the website work for US-built cars. My car completely skipped "In Transit" according to the website.

My CA just emailed me early that my car had finish production and was awaiting transportation. I did ask if the car was going to Port Hueneme(West Coast Prep Center), first as a distribution point, then down to San Deigo. I'll post when I get an answer.

in US, at VPC just means it's on a truck/train and being transported. My car finished production on a Monday and is on a truck on the same day, at the same time, online status changed to VPC. Arrived at dealer on Thursday, I'm on east coast though.
