Arrived at the port!

It is a shame that the car has to be introduced to the USA in New Jersey.

Lmao, I like this.

Mine is there as well....but I live in New Jersey so I am expecting it soon. Not sure what you are ashamed about as the Bayonne port is just like any other port and NJ really isn't any different than other states when you're not right near the river to NYC, but I hope you enjoy your car when it gets to you.

My car arrived at the port yesterday (the 29th) on the Faust. Was that the ship for you guys as well?

So, what problem do you have with New Jersey ??

delvec03 · 03-30-2015, 04:43 PM

mine also met the USA in Nj. it's my home state tho, so I'm ok with it.

unfortunately it's been there for a week due to a scratched wheel....waiting for another wheel. maybe one came in on your boat? Hah hope so.

let's race.

I'm from the Island, not a fan of the midwest.

Called customer service and was told that my car has already cleared customs, went through the VPC and been released to the carrier! They told me that it's due at the dealer by April 4th. My CA had said last week that it would arrive at the end of the month, but the Faust was one day late, so I'm hoping it's going to be April 1st rather than the 4th!

When did the Faust make port and how many days from port to "released to trucker" ??

It arrived in the wee hours of the morning on Sunday the 29th. It was released to the carrier today. Sounds incredible that all this happened from Sunday to Monday, but that's what they said. But then again the ship was scheduled to arrive 24 hours earlier and the dealer thought they would have the car by the end if the month, so maybe it's not so crazy.

This is amazing news for me. My ship seems to be ahead of schedule as well and bmwna said today on the 800 number that it takes 2 to 3 days to be released to trucking.

My car is right with yours, but I do not know if mine got through customs yet or is on a truck. Did you speak to someone on the phone at BMW NA, or did you go through the robot options stuff? I have been tracking everything on marine traffic and watched it creep across the atlantic, but I was not sure on how to track it once it hit port and got off the boat.

Mine was also on the Faust.

Sabjimenez · 03-31-2015, 10:42 AM

How long did it take from the ordered date? I ordered mine last week and want a rough estimate...

2yo · 03-31-2015, 02:02 PM

Mine is officially at my dealer waiting for me, so it went through customs and was trucked in a day
