They told me my car is at Bremen, not Hodenhagen, for repair.

I called BMW Belux. They told me they have no clue where my car is, well that’s a comforting answer for a so called premium brand about my 100k+ car.

I got same answer.
Let’s find a contact email from BMW Germany , Bremerhaven or Munich etc and ask them what is happening with our 100k order delays that we don’t have any feedback… |

It most probably arrived at Bremerhaven on September 20th… and has been sitting at Hodenhagen ever since. |

+1 for me. I'm awaiting an X7 which was build 08/17. Delivery was planned today but I received a cancellation 2 days ago. Yesterday I got the info that it has this stop code STOP025076 and it's storm/salt water related.
No other information unfortunately. Could be everything (I assume rust related) from wheels, brakes, engine parts or worse. BUT vehicle was driven on the vessel, off the vessel, on a train, off a train, on a truck, off a truck afterwards. Didn't sound like a desaster. Last edited by solberg; 11-21-2023 at 06:20 AM.. |

I tried to mail the BMW dealer at charleston, just to know how bad the storm was at the Charleston port.
But I did not get an answer. BMW has the whole thing sealed 😅 |

I know the frustration is huge and everyone wants his car to be in good shape and delivered asap!
But, have a little confidence. Do you really think that BMW will deliver a bunch of +100k cars without thoroughly inspecting them? As a premium brand they cannot afford that. Sea water on paint is not a good idea. But we don’t know how long they have been submerged + maybe they hosed them down afterwards? All we can do is wait, check, keep each other informed when you receive a status change. And then show off!! 🤭 |

They are referring to the area next to the public pier and yacht club (actually King St., that's pretty much next to the ocean) not the port (industrial). The later usually has a quay wall for the big ships which is higher than a typical seawall. The Columbus St. Terminal is ~3.5 feet higher in elevation. If the moment in the video was hide tide I'am not that concerned anymore.
Anyhow even if it's just a rusty bolt, if there is a possibility a carrier or insurance is paying it's just a business decision. Last edited by solberg; 10-21-2023 at 06:29 AM.. |
