Shipping Options
Hi all. I'm picking up my M2C at the Performance Center next week, but I'm looking to have it shipped to NJ as I want to avoid highway sandblasting before I get PPF. If anyone has done the same and can share the names of a few reputable shippers, it'd be appreciated. Ideally a single or double enclosed trailer without breaking the bank. Thx!

Another option is to put track PPF on the car temporarily for the drive home.

I've shipped twice with brokers, and both were fiascos in their own way. First time I submitted an initial quote request to some carrier, but turned out they were somehow linked into some entire network of brokerages and they all started bombarding me with quotes and harassment for my business. It was a nightmare. Second time the truckers were a pair of Russian guys out of Phoenix who were given a very specific 36-hour period that they could NOT deliver the car during, because I would be out of town. So while en route they inform me that this is exactly when they are going to deliver, and it's my problem to figure out how someone is going to be here to accept the car. Funkdat. Wound up having to meet them 3 hours from home and disrupted my entire weekend away. Managed to get 10% of the cost refunded because they only brought the car 90% of the way they were contracted to. That went over like a fart in an elevator and one of the guys called and screamed at me till I hung up on him. Never again. Next time I'll go with Reliable or somebody actually reputable.

Thanks everyone for the help. I submitted requests from 3 of the names so far. According to my CA, BMW Performance Center gives dealers 3 days to remove car, so its going to be tight.

You could also take a couple days off around a weekend and drive it back. Get your first service out of the way real quick ;-) |

So far, given the date restrictions, only Montway has said they can do it with a guaranteed pickup the day I'm down there. They claim its a 4 to 6 car hard enclosed trailer. Price didn't seem horrible at 1250. Can I trust them?

I purchased my car in Galleria BMW in MS as well, and thought I'd leave my experience here so that others know what to expect when they take delivery of my car. I was out of town from April 24-26. The CA at Galleria said the truck driver would arrive sometime on April 27 or 28. I figured that wouldn't be a problem since I would be back already to take delivery of the car.
On the 24th (Saturday), my CA said the truck driver would actually arrive on April 25 (Sunday), one of the days that I was out of town and was two to three days earlier than quoted. I was not able to pick up the car on that day since I was out of town and also because my wire transfer had not cleared to the dealership's account yet so the earliest the car could be dropped off was the 26th (Monday). The truck driver demanded an extra $200 from me to stay an extra day, but the situation was not my fault because he actually arrived much earlier than agreed upon. So I had to fork over an extra $200 to the driver, and arrange for my girlfriend to pick up the car for me. Point of the story is the driver is not great to work with and is horrible at providing delivery date estimates, so plan accordingly. |

I ended up having to go with Montway. None of the others were available when needed or didn't cover the route. I'm a little bit apprehensive about the whole thing. When I initially spoke with a rep, they said they could get an enclosed trailer to PCD on the date I was there. I asked about it being hard enclosed, as opposed to curtains, and whether it had a lift gate type entry. I was told yes to both and assured that a trailer like this was used for luxury/sports/classic cars. All of this seemed rather certain, so I asked if they had a truck in mind, to which they said yes. So after checking other options and coming up empty, I went with them. I then get a followup call saying that they may have a local pickup the day of to bring it to the long haul carrier and that it may need to sit in some lot until that long haul carrier arrives. This was not explained at first. The last thing I want is my car being load/unloaded multiple times by multiple drivers. |

Also, didn't wear a mask so take extra precaution if you're not vaccinated yet. |
