I just called BMW and according to them my car finished production today and is awaiting release to the carrier. I live outside of Boston and am wondering approximately how long it should take before I can get my car. I know it varies depending on where the ships are, etc. But am I looking at more than 4 weeks? Sorry if this has been asked a million times before.

Oh yeah I ordered Orient Blue, Auburn interior, Navigation, HUD, Premium sound, cold weather, automatic and most of all the sports pkg. Right now I'm driving a 98 Chevy Suburban with 120K miles. To say I can't wait any longer is an understatment. Hopefully the 545 will corner a little better than my Chevy.

Thanks. I'm new on this board and enjoy reading all of your posts.

Should be around 4 weeks, as long as you don't have the misfortune of some delay. And I made the same move from my GMC Yukon XL (same as a suburban) to my 545. I can't tell you how much fun it is to get back to a driving machine like this car after years of manuvering that tank around! I know the wait is painful, but it is well worth it.

Welcome to the board!

Patience is a virtue (or something like that) I once heard.

Thanks all I really appreciate your responses. Frankly I'm too excited and keep looking at the gallery. When I do get it, counting the days, I'll figure out how to post some pictures.

And oh, I know patience is a virtue, but that's one I don't have.

Download some wallpaper from the BMWUSA site. It will give you aid and comfort during the trying days ahead.

Just to be a little more specific, at least in my situation. Mine was completed on Oct 8. It was finally on the boat on Oct 17. Mine is being shipped to CA through the Panama Canal, and it'll take 23 days. Due to arrive on Nov 10. I think it is 11-ish days or so to the East Coast instead of 23. Maybe you'll get lucky and catch the boat sooner than mine did.

But I can sommiserate with you...the wait is terrible!
