Well, I guess I have good news and just news. It appears that BMW will not hold back the cars until June 19. So when my car hits the soil I can get it. News is just that the dang ship mine is on, the Curitiba, is a "ghost ship" and only shows up every 5 or 6 days for a couple of hours and then disapears again. It is also going to be 3 days late to the first US port which puts mine landing off until 5/7. Man this is worse that waiting for Christmas when you are 5!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would be more concerned about Flat-Spotting of those tires on the BMWs waiting at the port for 1 month.

I doubt that any flat-spotting will occur in that short a period of time...

That was the point of my post. If my dealer is telling me correct I will not have to wait to get my car. BMW has relaxed the June 19, 2010 release since so many are already on the road.

I am 1 and 1/2 hours away from my new car. I will be soooo upset if I have to wait over a month to get it. My salesman is still saying I wont but he will not give me a delivery date which is starting to make me worried. Normally a car only spends 2 days at prep center. That will be up tomorrow.
