I bypassed the CA and went to a sales manager, who pointed fingers and got things done for me. He took me down to the basement where all the new cars are parked. I got to see the whole basement, and there was my car. He introduced me to some of the guys who will be doing my PDI. They congratulated me and said no problem, we can get this done today.

Like Supernaut said (on another thread), you have to sometimes raise your voice to get things done, and I did. Thanks, PHX767 ! Yes, all's well that ends well. Heard about yours ?

True that ! Do call BMW NA once in a while. And, if your wife won't allow booze, take some Advil PMs ... they work for me.

Congratulations!!
You were so quiet I was starting to worry about you--then I went into a meeting for a few hours and the whole world changed by the time I got back. Couldn't be happier for you--and she's absolutely magnificent!
Guess we won't be hearing much from you in the coming days--enjoy your weekend & the wedding. Looking forward to those aerial shots from the wedding videographer! |

I wasn't in the mood to post yesterday, after reading some pretty nasty responses (from some unknown people) to my dealer thread. I was like - this ain't worth my time, you know ? On top of the car tracking crap, I didn't need any more negativity, esp from complete strangers who mean nothing to me. Anyway, our little bunch of peeps are the coolest folks around, and I won't be deserting y'all anytime soon Heard about yours ?

I could go on about the nerve of someone telling you not to post--a post that originated with you, no less--but no point. Now you can bask in the warmth of knowing you'll be behind the wheel in just a few short hours. Yes, I just called. I almost had a heart attack when the automated system told me my car was at the port awaiting a vessel!! WTH? Of course my mind went to the worst possible place--a vessel back to Germany because it was totaled at the port?? Of course that's ridiculous but I'm no longer rational. Once I talked to a real person (thanks to "Tess", a very helpful and enthusiastic CSR) she said my car checked into the VPC this morning. They're estimating delivery to the dealer Wednesday 3/18 so I'll have her by next weekend, hopefully. I 'jacked the hubby's X3 (gave up my car last weekend), so at least I'm in comfort until the new car arrives--though I haven't told him yet it's going to be one more week. Almost there!
