I am trying to figure out? how long it is going to take to get my car.
Thanks,
Leonard

[/quote]I made a MS Project schedule to track your car's progress. It seems that you beat the estimated 53 days that was given in the FAQ section for West Coast deliveries.
I made this chart so that it would help others estimate their delivery dates. If others on this forum could post their dates from order to arrival, I could post more of these charts to help us gain more confidence in the delivery dates.
Enjoy the car.

[/quote]I ordered it from Sterling. Get this, I talked to a BMW NA guy yesterday and he checked with his contact at Oxnard. The story he got was they had to replace the visors in the car because some of the cars come over with the visor warnings printed in german. So they are holding up my car to replace the visors. Hell, I know a little german and besides I hardly ever read the caution signs on visors. First the SMG software upgrade -- now new visors. I don't know what to believe anymore. Well anyway, he said I can expect my car next week after the New Year. Truth be told, I've been expecting my car for the last two weeks.

Ha! German visor text. That's a good one. I'll bet they hove some guy up there working full time making up delay stories for us. I am now at 10 weeks since ED drop off and still nothing but promises. Supposedly "awaiting transport" to the dealer. Good luck.
