Do you guys think that maybe BMW is scheduling re-deliveries based on the drop off to re-delivery time? That way everyone would have about the same amount of total wait & transit time. If Beewang got his car in 57 days, but went through the VPC in record time, maybe it was because his car spent a lot of time waiting to get on a ship out of Bremerhaven or the ship got delayed. When did you drop off your cars? I dropped off my 545 on 11/22. It came in on the Hojin around 12/4 (was supposed be here 12/1), cleared customs & ag inspection on 12/7. My SA says it is at the VPC now with delivery any day. Saturday will be 57 days for me and I'm hopeful that will be it. The wait has been worse than expected. When I first got into this I thought I would handle it a lot better.

Yes, my bad.? 10/22 not 11/22.? 11/22 would require a really fast ship or more likely a plane!

I dropped off my 545i in Munich on Oct 14, and my SA has now received a copy of the work order that says it will be released by the VPC on Thursday, Dec 16, i.e. 9 weeks later (the quoted time is 6 to 8 weeks). It will probably reach Santa Ana on Thursday or Friday.
I must be behind SveaRike at the VPC.
