Question for those who have tracked their PCD Deliveries before:
So I was watching my car status on the MyBMW site and I had gotten to the next-to-last step called "In Transit" while my car was on a ship (Niagara Highway).
But as I followed the ship on the MarineTraffic website crossing the atlantic and making all of its port calls (SouthHampton and Halifax and Baltimore, etc), once it arrived at the Brunswick GA port (and presumably got off the ship), my status on MyBMW site actually went backwards from "In Transit" back to "At Port". Has anyone else seen that before? It's weird that it's gone back to "At Port" even though I guess that's technically true.

It's "at port" again - on the destination side. All is well.
Are you keeping your Golf R? Mine will continue to be my daily when my M2c arrives in May. Should be one helluva pair.

As for the Golf R, I'm selling it to a VW enthusiast this Friday. It was part of the negotiations with the family finance manager that three cars are enough for 2 people, so a car had to go. The Golf R has been fantastic, and if I could keep it I would. Great performance/practicality balance. But just lacks that specialness that I couldn't get out of my head. Also the market for 18+ Golf R's right now is CRAZY. I drove it for 2 years/34k miles, and am selling it for about $5k less than I paid as new. Seemed like a no brainer to pull that trigger while I could.

mwh2009 - did you have any issues ordering or scheduling your PCD? i have asked my CA a few times and it's clear to me that he's being evasive..."yeah, let me check on that" has been his response like 3 times even though i've made it clear that i want to do it.

I found a car through a non-local CA who had one getting ready to get on a ship. One of the preconditions of my signing the order was that we confirmed PCD was possible. For me it was 2 reasons: First because PCD is a blast and I wanted to do it again, and Second because it cut the driving distance from the dealer (that was 900 miles away) more than in half. My sense is that if your car isn't yet on a boat to the US, it should still be possible. And maybe even if it is just leaving there is still a possibility? The ships all kind of do an east coast milk run to a few ports, so logistically it seems doable. I would recommend going up the ladder to the dealer sales manager and tell them you want an answer by tomorrow.

Could be one of those things where it had to be that way because I asked for PCD late In the process?

I know what you mean about current R values - they are definitely a hot item on the used market. More affirmation about what great cars they are.
