Ahh okay yea, i'm not too sure on that. May have to look into that for my car as well.

On the Glovis as well! Hopefully the car does get to NY on the 6th but not getting my hopes up. Who would have thought our cars would have been stuck at the port for 13+ days.

I think it's the 10th for NY.

That's correct ^, I'm mistaken, was so hyped up I misread the ETA

Intrestingly enough, when my car first left the plant for the port, after speaking to the genuis he told me typically it takes at least a week to 2 weeks to be assigned to a ship unless its a rare circumstance. So unless he was clueless and just blowing smoke, 13 days isnt too bad all things considered.

With my car a week from delivery, I decided to stop by dealer as I wanted to add a few things once she hit the port. So while going over the numbers, I felt my monthly payment was a bit higher than the expected, come to find out my msrp was bumped to the current msrp as oppose to what it was when I ordered my car back in Feb.
It was my understanding that once given a set price and the paperwork was signed I'd be locked into that price. Now there telling me that due to "inflation" and because my car wasn't being built at the time, they cant change it but are willing to split the additional cost with me.
As im sure most of you ordered you cars prior to that price jump, has anyone else experienced this?

[Camo435]

That's really strange??? I hope my dealer doesn't play games like that when the time comes... If papers were already signed, I don't see how they can do that. What dealership if you dont mind me asking?

Habberstad in Bayshore. And yea I know, its a little funny to me as well. I kinda wanted to speak to speak to someone higher up about the situation but at the time I didn't feel it was necessary (at least until I did my own research first).

You don't have many options if you want an M2 to your specs and it's really not that much money. Sure, there's the principle of it but at the end of the day it really wouldn't be worth walking away from the deal and more than likely this was just a misunderstanding.

If it were me, I'd ask them to cut margin on the Performance parts you want if you're willing to agree to the additional MSRP. Everybody wins.

Yea I know, I never planned on walking away from the deal as the price jump isnt really a big deal to me either, but as you said it was a principle of the matter. Because I was told initally i wouldnt be affected by the price change it was just strange to me that all of sudden I am. But anyways im expecting a call from my ca later today so ill mention that him and see what they can do.

I picked up my week 17 car on May 23rd and my dealer honored the $51,700 MRSP when I ordered it back on February 25th. In fact, my salesman, Troy Willoughby at BMW of Asheville brought up the fact that MSRP had increased, but they didn't think that was fair to charge me since we had an agreement (MY window sticker shows the increased MSRP, so I guess I got for under). The guys at BMW of Asheville have been so awesome to work with too, including regular text messages during steps of the manufacturing and shipping process. I never had to call the Genius. Maybe it was because I"m a local and I always serviced my 135 there.

Seems like the ship carrying some of our cars has hit a part of the Atlantic where tracking isn't available.

Mine did as well. The ship doesn't show up, but it shows a new area of the Atlantic every time. So I just assume it is in the middle of the screen lol.

My app just says "not currently tracked" for that ship.

[Kid Eh]

The ship is due to arrive in Halifax tomorrow yet it's still un-trackable. Surely it has to show up on the radar soon. Starting to get really excited now. Can't believe it's almost time.

Yea man, maybe its because i've really busy with work and school but time has been flying expecting to have her in my hand by this time next week
And yes by now I woulda expected to get a reading on the boat by now, its pretty strange but yea hopefully it updates soon.

[Camo435]

CA just called to inform me that car will be available for pickup next week (God willing). So excited, it's becoming somewhat reality now!

[Kid Eh]

Looks like the Glovis Conductor is now scheduled to arrive a day later in Halifax. New ETA is June 9.

Where did you find that? I'm still having trouble getting a reading on the boats location.

If you go back to the WWL site and enter your VIN the ETA date has been changed.

[Kid Eh]

Well the car is finally on my soil. It's saying LINER RELEASE and DISCHARGED. Hopefully it's not much longer before it's on a train to me in Toronto. The journey is almost complete

You're probably looking at another 2 weeks before your car arrives at the dealer.

I've been tracking previous shipments to see how long it typically takes once it lands in Halifax to the dealers. Looks like it's about 2 weeks for Halifax to Toronto and about 4 weeks for cars going from Halifax to the west coast.
