Finally you got your baby back here in California!! Looks it takes a bit long from the Port to custom, VPC and final delivery. It is very helpful... Thanks a bunch!

My 545 came in on the Grus on Nov 29th and is still in VPC land. The dealer tells me they have to change the catalytic converter and then smog test each ED vehicle. They are unable to say when it will be loaded on a truck for Santa Ana. Sigh, more waiting!

[/quote]I ordered my car from Sterling BMW in Newport Beach. Crevier wanted a $4000 deposit just to order a car with a color they apparently did not like. My deposit to order from Sterling was $500. Crevier is a nice dealership but I didn't like the large deposit required.
