Yeah, it is by rail. Overall timing is similar vs. by ship. It's things like weather and port strikes that mess it up.

did anyone get a chance to talk to their CA? I got sick this weekend and stayed in bed all day today. We'll see how I feel tomorrow but I might just end up calling on Monday to see.

I talked to mine on Friday....he said he had sent the port a couple emails and would let me know if he heard back....of course I did not here back. I'm going to call the 800 # tmrw and keep on my CA till he gets an estimate....they have to install my exhaust at the port so I'm not expecting to get it this week.

Just found out my 235 is aboard the Victory Leader and is due to port in Oxnard, CA on March 27. How about yours?

Congratulations on your car being assigned a ship

I wish I could say the same. My car is still waiting for ship assignment

Anyone on the EQUULEUS LEADER have any luck getting info today?

The online tracking still says En Route (not surprising as it's always way behind), the automated phone said it was waiting for a ship at port (ha!), and when I talked to a rep, they said the system was currently down. So, nothing.

OK, no one get their hopes up toooo much as this info is totally unconfirmed, but according to a moderator over at Edmunds, who are usually very accurate, the March lease rates are *much* improved over previous months. They say the M235i for 36 months, 10k miles is 62% residual and .00129 MF (and no cash back incentives). Here is source: http://forums.edmunds.com/discussion...omment_5070733

I've emailed my CA to see if he can confirm those numbers, but have yet to hear back.

I think that since Dec, the residual has never been higher than 60% and when there was a $500 incentive the residual was 59%. So this is a pretty big bump.

Okay so I have an update.

My car arrived last friday on the ship Equuleus Leader and I called around 5:30pm and spoke to someone who informed me that my car is now at VPC and the estimated arrival to dealership is the 6th. I then called the dealership right after and confirmed the dates and my CA told me that it only takes an hour or two to prep the vehicle at the dealership so I can definitely pick it up on Friday! I asked him to keep me updated via email.

Remind me(us)... are you having a lot of port installed options? How far is your dealer from the port?

Sorry I left out the details.

I don't have any port installed options and my dealership is....3 hours from port.

Ink, if you're car's at VPC, they should tell you the estimated date of arrival (to dealership) if you call them.

They have to process a lot of vehicles at once - look at the satellite shots of the lots. If anything got scratched or dinged, that will have to get repaired as well.

I don't think the whole week is spent at VPC. I think most likely my car got into VPC on Monday and I heard it takes about 2-3 days to clear through VPC (not like my car is the only car getting processed. I'm sure there's a queue) and then it gets put on a truck to be sent down to my area (San Diego) and then once my dealer gets it, they let me know that it's available for pickup. My CA actually said it might even be ready by Thursday and that he will let me know. Who knows maybe I'll get lucky? I already cleared it with my boss just now to let me go and pick up the car in the middle of the day on Friday so I'm good to go either way.

So, I can confirm, lease rates for March are 36 months and 10k miles are 62% and .00129. 12k is 61% and 15k is 59%. This is true for ALL 2 series, i.e. 228 & 235, xdrive and without, and even convertibles.

Those are great terms and this give all of us great flexibility in deciding if we want use previous months 39 month terms or these new 36 ones. Personally, I'm glad to have a great 36 deal because I imagine in three years i'll be itching for an M2.

Got an update, my car is at the VPC, "Work order started" with a hold on it for "Repair".

Estimated to the dealer 3/13, and it got to the VPC 2/26 according to the dealer tracking site.

Does anyone know what the storage locations mean? It went from VP1___ to VB1___ today. Please give me some hope that means Vehicle Parking and Vehicle Bay... aka it might be actively worked on

As to what "repair" could mean - when I dropped it off in Germany there was a tiny ding on the bumper that I reported. Unless "they" broke something, that's the only thing I know was wrong with the car. Strange though, ED insurance specifically says they won't repair that sort of damage so who knows..

Mine was also on the Equuleus Leader...called this morning and found its now at the VPC with estimate to dealer on Sat the 7th. Does anyone know if there is anywhere to see the port installed option (mp exhaust) listed in writing? My CA said they have the order but haven't seen it listed anywhere and honestly don't have complete faith in my dealer. Anyway, starting to get excited now...didn't think I would get it this week. I leave Sunday on a work trip for a week so fingers crossed it arrives Sat as advertised.

Ask your dealer for a "Vehicle Inquiry Report". My CA sent it to me the day I got my allocation from BMW and a production #.

The VIR should have every single thing your ordered, listed.

Called and talked to agent this morning, mine doesn't show it is at VPC yet, just showed arrived at port on Friday. Oh well. I can't pick it up next Monday anyway due to work commitments, so I'm just hoping for Tuesday which should be doable.

I actually saw the initial inquiry report when I ordered it....the problem is that I added the port option after it completed production. My CA had to put the order in directly with the port. He assures me they have the order so I think I'm just gonna have to take a leap of faith that it shows up with the exhaust installed. So far everything has worked out so maybe I'm just being overly paranoid.

Look at it this way ... what's the worst that can happen ? The car shows up without the option ... you ask your dealer WTF ... they install it.
