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

Cyclist

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!)

My car only took 4 days from when it got to port for me to pick up!! So I guess your mileage may vary... Best of luck and post pictures!
