My car's at the port waiting for a ride to the U.S. What's the longest wait I can expect for the boat to leave? I wouldn't think it would be more than 2 weeks. What do you guys think. Who else is also waiting for the boat and how long have you been waiting. I HATE WAITING!!!!

Production took them so long. It wasn't a wait after the production... The car was built May 10 and I picked it up May 26. 16 days after production, still very long, since I am only 400 Km's away from Munich...
Anyways, I ordered it beginning of the year in January and it was born May 10...

My MY06 530i is also currently at the port awaiting assignment to a boat for east coast US delivery. I've been waiting since mid February. Production was also completed around your 3/17 date.
