Sooo... No one knows where my car is. It wasn't on the ship they expected it to be on. The 800 number told me it was last tracked being handed over to a trucking company in California on the 27th of June. The ship for Hawaii departed on the 9th of July... The ship arrived yesterday and there is no 2 series aboard.
I can't believe that no one knows where the car is. And 12 days wasn't enough time for the car to travel 80 miles from Port Hueneme to Long Beach? I'm at a loss for words right now. |

Wow...sorry to hear! So the delay is in the trucking company? Surely your CA should be able to contact them and see? I actually tried calling the trucking company directly myself while i was being impatient but they said they could only release info to the dealer. Worth a shot!

Unfortunately my CA texted me today saying it is at the port in California. The shipping company they use has only one vessel. I understand why they would choose only one trusted transport company.. But still. Haha... The ship is the same variant that W&W use. (with the ramps on the stern and starboard side)
Now I have to wait another two weeks... I have my two wash buckets with grates (I use Sonax wheel spray, so there's no need for a third "wheel bucket"), claybar, sealant, and carnauba all waiting for the delivery day. I'm going to detail it myself rather than let some stranger drive the car from the dealership to their shop and back unsupervised. I think my Griot's Garage 6" random orbital polisher is up to the task... lol |

I picked it up on the 31st of July! Since it was a Thursday, I had very little time to wash and detail before heading to sleep as I worked the next day. Gosh, it was a long journey for the little 2er... I'm completely satisfied with the 228i! Here are some pictures...

Yay!
Oh, I'm SO happy for you! I'm glad our Beemer cousin finally made it home! You must be so excited! We just got back from a 1420 mile Oregon/California Coast trip for our 25th anniversary. It was so much fun in our car, we talked about you often, and hoped it would come in soon. It's a beautiful car, I'm sure you're going to love it for a long time!
I've attached a couple pictures. The nickname for ours is Lil Bus, we found it's Bigger Little Bus brother while in Mendocino, CA. The bus driver said she now wants racing stripes too! haha It's been so fun, being on this journey together with you since Southhampton. I really do wish you the very best! Safe driving and keep smiling! |
