My 550i made it through production very quickly. It went into Awaiting Transport last night. I have not felt this anxious about a car for a long time. Anyone have any idea how long it takes from this point to arriving at my dealer? It is going to OH and will be shipped through the NJ VPC.

I don't want to make you feel worse or anything, but the closer it gets, the greater the anxiety!! :wacko: Hey....tell us what you got on your 550? |
Hang in there ledbettm.
A 550i is worth some waiting... |

1 week to get on a ship (sits in lot with thousands of other cars). 2 weeks to reach Newark (ship hits 2-3 other destinations prior to Newark). 1 week at the VPC and flat bedded to your dealer (VPC can take days or over a week). Ordered cars get priority over EDs. Hang in there. CVT Benhogan :thumbsup: |

Went like this: ordered 3/15, out of production 3/26, at dock by 3/27, loaded on boat 4/4 (so a week or so waiting for ship). I expect to see car in No. VA by week of 24th. Just about 6 weeks from date purchased to delivery. This board will keep you sane. |
I feel you.. the waits killing me too :bash: ... It finished productions on Mar. 17 was at the port of exit on the 19th... and it didn't leave the port until March 29... the eta on mine is April 23rd which is a sunday so i was wondering do they unload on sundays? or they have to wait until monday.

I do believe I read somewhere that the VPCs work on weekends, but someone please correct me if I am wrong.... |
Question - your sig says you have ventilated seats and cold weather package. Rumor has it, ok fact has it, that you can't get both. So which did you get? Or did they really let you order both?

Interesting.....my car finished production the 13th, left the port of exit on the 27th (according to my SA), and from there I was told 28 days to the VPC which puts me in Hueneme on or around the 24th of April. I was told the name of my ship was the Diamond Ray.....are times are so close, and our ships have such similar names that I wonder if my SA is all screwed up!! Have you had any luck trying to track the Orion Diamond?

I had no luck tracking the Orion Diamond ... Go to the dealer and have your SA show you the print out on the status of your car. It'll show your ships name when it left and the ETA this way you can verify everything. I heard VPC doesn't work on weekends. I was also wondering does the VPC unload the cars or the dock people do it? does anyone know?
