Just received the following email from my CA:
"Your 2012 BMW 550xi is on the vessel Toronto headed to Port Jersey, The vessel left on 02/2/2012 and is scheduled to land on the 15th. I expect your car to be available for delivery anytime after 02/20/2012."
Getting excited! My Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires are here and will replace the banal Goodyear RFTs on day 1. Got my Bimmerzone compact spare for the trunk. Now if only Dinan can figure out how to reflash the 2012 ECU by the time my car arrives...

About the Dinan, please brake in your new car nicely before you start tuning it, just my 5 Euro cents.

My Ride: 2008 550 sport with all the fixins, 07 yukon with all the fixins.
Important news flash!!! delivery will be held off for a few hours due to boots taking delivery and hitting the twisty roads before giving it back to the original owner. Now you dont have to wait for the dinan tune. 
Early congrats to you on your new car.
