I know some people have had to wait longer, but its the expectation factor that kills you. on 10/25 SA tells me an arrival date of 10/26 - my birthday. 4 business days later, nothing.....My car came off the Integrity in NY on October 16th. I know Aero kit takes a while longer but its going on three weeks. Its ironic how many americans (myself excluded) criticize the relaxed european work ethic, when my car was made in europe in just over a week, and shipped from europe across the ocean in just over a week, and then once it gets to NJ fugettaboutit...gone. No tracking, no status information, just hurry up and wait.

Now my SA tells me he is not going to make his bounus because he has to deliver one more car by today to do so. Conspiracy theorist delight.... Seriously, is anyone else waiting for a delivery in Connecticut? If so, what news? I am going to have to take delivery with snow tires at this rate.

I'm not waiting, but my 530XI took over three weeks for the aero kit in NJ and almost six weeks from the time it was shipped to my taking delivery in CT. At the time they had an issue with a suspension recall and if there are any recall issues now they will hold up the cars in NJ and make the repairs. Waiting for your new baby is one of the toghest things but just get ready to enjoy it. I don't like the part about a whining SA. :thumbsdown: Maybe if he worked harder and whined less he would make a bonus more often.
