my 08 550i sp is stuck at the vpc with a "recall" on the rear glass due to a problem with the antenna. Anyone who alredy got their car been advised of this recall. Or has anyone heard of this

I'm a bit concerned about this since I have an ED scheduled in five days.

My car was stuck at the VPC for about 3 weeks. After CWG's post, I asked my dealer point blank if my car was damaged or if there was some issue with the car. His answer was that a ton of cars had arrived at the port and it was simply an issue of getting the cars through EPA, prepped, etc.

That being said, picked up the new ride yesterday and have been loving life ever since. Thanks to all on this board who answered my questions and thanks to all posters in general--was able to pick up tons of useful info in just a few weeks time.

How long does it usually take for a car to go through the VPC on the west coast?

It usually only takes a few days to a week at the most...

Send some pix of the headliner when you get the car. I really went back and forth on it and didn't pull the trigger on it--I'd love to see how it came out. I'm sure I'll kick myself when I see it!

I ordered my E61 on March 28th here in Portugal and it will be delivered to me on May 8th. Can't wait.

Will try and snap some pics this weekend...

Now I just need to find a free weekend to put on some 35% tint and the look will be complete.
