Your sales person can tell you the name of the ship and ETA at port.
Yeah, I got that info....and I check in with me dealer once a week....but it sounded like someone was getting that info off the OC, which would surprise me given how far behind the OC info is!!

My 530i is also on the Integrity. I'm having a hard time waiting for the 28th, when it'll dock in Charleston.
I expect it here about a week after that.

Lawprof and Teckel - Here is the status of our ship as of 4/20/2006 at 12:23AM Central Time. It is getting close!!! It will now arrive in Charleston on 4/29 vs. 4/28. One day late!! ARRRGGGHHHHH

That delay is not my only frustration. Right now we have a mechanics strike going on at my BMW dealership. If that doesn't end, I may never get my car. Or do you think they'll try to have someone from management do the prep? I can't imagine driving my new car through a bunch of teamsters to get out of the lot.

See you've specced NightVision on your 550i.

You might like to look at thread http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...t%20vision&st=0

I've got a 535d on order with Night Vision, originally scheduled for week 12 production, now gone back to week 19 because of NightVision problems.

You can see an estimated delivery date on your OC?? My OC just says, "en route" As a matter of fact, my cars options still don't even show up on the OC site......are you calling BMWNA to get your estimated delivery time? I can't find my ship......don't know where it is, but I sure hope it's on the Pacific Ocean by now!!
If you click on "review order details", it should give you an estimated delivery date.

when I click on the "review order details" it's all blank!! My ship should be to the west coast port any day now, if it's not already there. Hopefully my dealer will call soon and let me know the car is at the VPC!!

It's not like I'm anxious or anything......

Mine is at the VPC now. It took Owner's circle 2 days to update, the stupid 1-800 number still says the car is in Germany awaiting shipping.........

Well, I am less than impressed with the whole Owner's Circle website...especially the order tracking feature. As I mentioned in my last post, none of my vehicle details show up. Except for the fact that I have seen my dealer's order sheet, and invoice, I would be worried that my car didn't get ordered correctly!! I can, however, understand that no one really has a handle on the ships at sea, and that doesn't really bother me. I am content to wait a "reasonable" amount of time!! I was told 28 days to get from Germany to west coast VPC, and that's tomorrow, so I have to guess I'm close......still need to sell my '04 530 so if it's another week or two, I can handle it......I'll just enjoy everyone else's car vicariously!!

So, you are a short timer....maybe sometime this week you will take delivery?? Are you sleeping night?? lol

FWIW, I've had better luck with OC this go around. It's been within one or two days of what my dealer has been telling me.

Now if they would only update it to have pictures of the E60 and current manuals.
