My Ride: On Order for European Delivery
550i SilverGrey Sports, Winter, Prem Pkg, Prem sound, NAV, HUD, comfort seats
My european delivery 550 is arriving at the port in New Jersey today. I live in the Boston area.
Letter from BMW gives a cover our ass response that it my take up to 20 business days to get to dealer.
Any idea of the *ACTUAL* wait time. Anyone with experience with this
Thanks

Mine took 20 business days ... with no explanation. 
I would guess that most likely it will be 7 to 10 business days for you.
Which is worse?
1) the long wait for your new BMW with regular delivery, expecting it to be a great driving machine, OR
2) the long wait for your new BMW after you have driven it in Europe, knowing how great of a driving machine it is.

It was fun to drive the autobahn. The car will most likely never see those speeds again (sigh!)
