How Many Days from US Port Until Delivery?
My car arrived at port (Brunswick, GA) 11 days ago and my dealer still does not have it! How long has it taken for your guys? I'm thinking there's a problem...like damage during shipping which happened once before and took an extra two weeks to repair at port.

Took mine only 2 days from landing in NY to being delivered to dealer in Ma! Way quicker than I expected. The dealer said 7 days is more normal.

I'm in the same boat. Mine arrived at port (Baltimore) last monday on 5/26 and dealer still hasnt received it yet. I was sort of thinking the following - 1-2 days to clear customs; then it goes to bmw vpc location for inspection and any mperf parts i heard this takes 3-4 days and then get shipped by carrier. I'm in the midwest so maybe another 3-4 days. All in all that makes 7-10 days. If i dont have it by this weekend i will start to worry.

Geez, sounds like a common theme here with port delays. I can understand NYC/NJ port having serious delays (where mine is going to) but would have thought Brunswick would be quick turnaround. On the bright side, it should be any day now since it has already been 11!

Mine arrived at brunswick yesterday and is estimated to be delivered to the dealer on 6/10. I'm also getting the Perf Exhaust installed there also.

mine came from brunswick. it took about 6 days in PDC and it was ready to go. however, my dealer did not get it after another week because transport doesn't have enough load yet. i had to get the trucking company info from my dealer and call them myself. i asked the truck co. to mark my car "hot" for delivery. got delivered the next day. overall wait was about 14 days from the day the ship docked.

Maybe there is damage that need to be repair. I would suggest have the CA find out the details.

That's the thing, my windshield chipped in Europe, but they say no work is being done other than emission testing etc.

My car was unloaded at the the port in NY/NJ this morning. Dealer called me to let me know the eta of delivery could be as early as Saturday, but more then likely next Wednesday/Thursday.
I am actually super excited but would like it to be delayed for another week or so. Our new driveway is being poured tomorrow and we wont be able to drive on it for a few weeks.

Three days later (14 days since ship arrived) and still no word on delivery status.
This is ridiculous. How hard can it be for the dealer to find out what the delay is and communicate. I just sold the '11 328 coupe and now have a rental.....tick tock. |

Sucks to hear that. I wonder what the issue could be for you. The experiences you are having (as well as others) has prepared me to not expect mine in until July since it's due in port at the end of the week. I too sold my only car, but did so the day before I left for ED when somebody offered my full asking price. So, it has been public transportation for me mostly with an occasional rental here and there. |

My car arrived at Baltimore port last Friday - 6/6. I am hoping my car gets here the end of this week. If you call BMW CA they will know if it was released to carrier/loaded on the truck? It seems once they are loaded on the truck they get to the dealership pretty quick, long as they dont stay at the arrival port for very long.

ugghh that makes me sad. There was no damage or any reason for them to hold it at the port for so long?

Did you car show up on the 6th at your dealership? I hope mine takes 8 days! That would mean this Friday. I will probably call my dealer today and see if they have a status.

If your CA doesn't have info on a late arrival you can call BMWNA (800-831-1117) and they can give you status.
Arrived Brunswick 5/25, Released to shipper 6/9, projected delivery to dealer 6/14 = 20 days. No reason given for the delay. Last edited by oscr972; 06-09-2014 at 12:14 PM.. Reason: typo |
