Most likely you'll be picking it up next week.. They go from the Prep center in South Carolina, to the Prep center in Jersey (for some stupid reason), then they will transport it to your dealership, so if they shipped sunday, it'll get to jersey by either today or wednesday, then sit in jersey for a day or two, then head to your dealer by friday or saturday, they have to PDI it (the dealership) so, by monday you should be picking it up...

It's fine... I haven't really had a chance to drive it... I'm stuck at work this whole weekend... The disadvantage of being in the military, you may have to work weekends, occasionally... I want to drive my car, but can't... I need to rack up the miles to break her in... Atleast towards the end of the month I have a 600 mile round trip to PA and back.. Helix is gonna test fit there newest FMIC...

800 number now says expected completition date of Aug 3! How long would you estimate before it arrives at my dealership?
I live in AZ, so I am not sure how they transport to the west coast? (stupid bmwusa.com is still not updated, worthless tracking website)

Thursday Aug 5 awaiting to be released to carrier Saturday Aug 7, released to carrier awaiting transportation Monday Aug 9, Prep center (which is technically in SC anyway, but they will transport it to the prep center over by you, not sure where that is). Friday Aug 14, Delivery to your BMW center You should be picking it up by the week of Aug 17.... Of course this is all a rough estimate... Like i told giant, he would be picking his up this week... So I should be spot on with your estimate too... if I'm lucky

Final Quality Control... Im no expert, so I can't say exactly what they do differently, but lets say that the prep center basically is big brother. The Factory is a peon who, although they are master craftsmen, they may have missed a spot when they were painting, or maybe put the right mirror on the left side (i know stupid example). Well now the prep center goes over the car with a fine tooth comb and finds that spot that was missing some paint, or catches on that the mirrors are in the wrong place. The Prep center also may test drive your particular car to make sure everything is working the way it's suppose to (it's very random which ones they pick).

Its probably still in south carolina or waiting on the train/truck for transport to Oxnard... You may hear something from your dealership middle of next week, maybe you'll be lucky and get to pick it up next weekend...
