Teamsters picket Annacis Auto Terminal
For those of you in the Vancouver area expecting delivery of a new BMW this month, you might want to check with your dealer. Since last Thursday, the Teamsters have been picketing Annacis Island. This labour dispute has resulted in no trains coming into or leaving Annacis and no auto transport trucks leaving as well.

I was told my bimmer has arrived on Annacis Island! I've never been a fan of unions, and this won't help changing my view of them. Thx for the info.
btw - True bimmers come thru eastcoast but transported to westcoast by rail. Annacis Island is the depot. |

I just took delivery of my '07 328i sedan today! I kept following with the dealer and they sent a truck to Annacis Island pick it up.
Work around the problem (aka unions) and find a way to deliver the car! Now that's custom service! |

thanks for the info eagle1, asked my CA today and found out some of the cars either go to okanagon or edmonton and mines at edmonton whooT!! but they said they aren't sure when the car is staying in edmonton and don't know when to send it due to the strike.

But the wait continues for anyone with a car still sitting in Halifax (like me). CA told me could take 3+ weeks to get out here. |

As I mentioned earlier, my CA said it may take 3 or more weeks to ship my car from Halifax to Vancouver. So I anticipate I won't be getting mine until very late Nov. or even early Dec. |
