You should really try uship.com
I have shipped a couple boats from there and you can get an awesome deal most of the time.
I had a boat brought back from kanas to Ny for 600 and my car from texas to Ny for 500

Anyone ever ship a car across the US? I am using Reliable Carriers (saw their ad on HD TV, while watching the Mecum auto auction) and its about $2100 with 3 week window...seems like 3 years...

Congrats on the MAJOR upgrade. 550s are fantastic cars. They are the perfect daily driver IMHO -- fast and smooth. Beautiful looking one you got.

Thanks! I have honestly built the 550 on bmwusa about 1000 times.... So happy to be getting one and with super low miles.
