Well, my thought on the VPC working weekends was that there was no way they would let a ship sit unloaded for a day. So, perhaps you are right...VPC closed for the weekends, but ships are offloaded by the dockworkers so the ships can keep their schedules.

I hear you......I live with three women...my wife and two daughters...they all think I'm crazy......so I just ignore them...that's what this board is for!! I still have to sell my 530, so I'm ok with a couple more weeks....it's been raining so much I can't keep my car clean to show/sell......
and clean out your garage for the 550

My Ride: On order: 2007 550i, silver gray, black leather, anth. maple trim, active cruise, heated steering wheel, sport, night vision, vent seats, heat rears, active steering, rear air bags, folding seats, comfort access, navigation , HUD, black head liner, steptronic, premium sound, sirius and HD radio.
The 'fact' that you can not order cold weather and ventilated seats together is wrong. I saw my build sheet. I shows Cold Weather Pacakge and then shows ventilated seats as a substitute for heated seats included in the package. It has a little * showing the change. I confirmed with my salesperson that the actual build that took place included both options. He said his system shows the car has both options on it. I guess maybe in 07 models you can now have both together.

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.
Anyone want to buy a 2000 E39 540i with very low miles?

Sounds like both of ours may end up on the same ship.

PS - per the attached document, you can not get ColdWeather and Ventilated front seats. This is the 07 options list from BMW. I've always suspected that if you could get them to accept the order they would do it so I'm very curious about your car.

Well that would be very cool then (pun intended). Let us know when you get it and confirm that you got the heated steering wheel and headlight washers. I would have sprung for the Nasca leather and Ventilated seats if I wasn't going to lose the heated steering wheel which is one of the best damn features of the car!
