How long to get my car?

parrida · 05-28-2008, 10:37 PM

I ordered my AW 135 Monday and have been told I will get the car in Texas by July 15. Is this reliable? What have others experienced?

It all depends, on a lot of variables. But mine took 10 weeks.

jeremyc74 · 05-28-2008, 10:42 PM

I think 8 to 10 weeks is the norm, but it depends on when the car actually goes into production, and then how long it sits at the dock waiting on a ship.

mine took 10 weeks too... longest wait ever

goodluck

At least you get better informed than we do in Canada, I'm three weeks in and have no idea where mine is up to. It's horrible, I've never waited this long for anything I can remeber.

Average for West Coasters is about 8-10 weeks...East Coasters probably 6-8 weeks.

coco_m3 · 05-28-2008, 11:33 PM

im getting close to 3 months.

Saphire1 · 05-28-2008, 11:40 PM

I ordered mine April 5th and was told end of June or first week of July..

Lucky for you Texas is considered East coast.

Mine is looking like 9 weeks... East-coast car.

The most grueling part was the post-build wait, which has been 5.5-6 weeks.

From when the car started being built to arriving to my dealer I think only took 5 weeks.

I'm in Hawaii and I'm told my car will take the West Coast delivery time PLUS another 3-4 weeks! So long, in fact, that I changed my order to a 2009 deposit rather than get my car a few weeks before the 2009's arrive.

I think that was a smart move unless you could have gotten some $$$ off.

Hi I ordered mine in Houston on Tuesday. My dealer said it will take from 1 to 2 months to get the car. Also did u sign for Performance Center Delivery. Can anyone explain me what it is ? and what are the things I need to do?

Thanks

It does vary, but to see my case, read my signature below.

Hang in there:wink:.

I did PCD. You just have to tell your sales person to book you. They pay for everything except for your transportation to SC.
See this thread.

Here is some info about PDC...

http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte.../Delivery.aspx

the program is free and is basically an exchange for the shipping change they would have paid to get your car to your dealer. To do PDC you have to tell your dealer and then once your car is produced and ready to be put onto a boat they will schedule you an actual date for the PDC. Just be warned though that doing PDC could potentially add weeks to your delivery time unless your schedule for doing it is very flexible.
