Also..... (posted this in week 21 as well)....

Has anyone's MA given them an official "ETA"? I'm not sure if it has to dock before they can do that, etc. etc.

I was walking in NY last night and I saw a BRG MCS w/Navi and many of the other options I selected for my Clubman. Was a good fix to help for a few days....

On the ww website, the Rigoletto is now showing as arriving at Port Hueneme on the 24th of June (was the 25th). There's hope...

Arrrrgggggg!!!!!

Talked to my MA today and she told me my ship wasn't scheduled to come in until June 18th! She told me the 12th a while back, and I didn't know that there was a delay until today.

I just checked the "ships" pdf file, and there aren't any ships scheduled for the 18th. And I went back to WW and it isn't tracking my VIN, so that means I'm still a K-line, and there aren't any coming in around the 18th (17th and 19th, but not the 18th).

So my guess is she's just wrong. Unless she's confusing the 18th for the day it leaves Charleston. Could it be sitting in port that long?

Any other theories?

Thanks all!!

OL.MINI finally says I am at the VDC. I am taking that to believe that my Mini is already on a transport truck headed this way. Hopefully get her this next weekend or shortly after that.

Yee ha?

My MA appears to be wrong about my shipping delay. OL shows that it's at the distribution center, and since it lags by a few days, I'll assume I came in on the 12th per the original schedule.

Too much reverse engineering. I'll call my sales manager on Monday...

Which ship were you on, and what dealership. I was on the Caribbean highway and I bought from Moritz. Mine is still showing in transit as of yesterday

turbodeez- I never received any confirmation about a boat, but since the WW site never recognized my vin and the history of putting Texas destined cars on K Line, I assumed. I bought from Mini/BMW of Dallas. Previously John Roberts on 635 and I-35. Maybe I'll get a surprise call a few days early but the last time I spoke to MA #2 which was about 6-1, he mentioned about 3 more weeks...

Well, that's a lot better news.... My MA was talking about a rough estimate of when it's getting to the dealership, NOT off the ship.

So I'm still on schedule, pending no truck breakdown or anything. I may see delivery this week!

Time to bump the thread- who else is out there motoring now? (Or at least close enough to know when they're taking delivery?)

My pickup is scheduled for 2PM tomorrow! OL shows that it's at the dealer as well! Woo hoo!

My wife is threatening to video the entire thing since I've been so crazed over the past two months. If she does I'll post it
