My car is Colorado bound

Wally5280 · 09-19-2012, 01:56 PM

Just wondering where I can expect my car to get unloaded. Galveston or Port Hueneme? They're about equidistant to Denver so I wasn't sure what port it would get dropped at.

My car finished production today so it looks like my options for shipping are either the Fidelio (Port Hueneme bound) leaving on the 24th or the Endurance (Galveston bound) leaving on the 27th. In the end I suppose it doesn't matter since they'll reach their respective ports within a day of each other. Are my odds good for making the Fidelio if my production finished today (the 19th)?

Can any other Colorado owners chime in on what ship they were on? Thanks.

Murray Motors of Denver told me all of their cars come through Oxnard (North of LA). My 2013 328i M Sport was built September 8 and I'm still waiting at port for a ship. Hate waiting!! I ordered 8 weeks ago!!

I'm going through Murray too. I placed my order on August 24th and my car finished production today. After hearing about people's delays sitting at the port I don't have a lot of confidence getting on the Fidelio leaving on the 24th.

I just found out that my car is "en route" to the USA. Apparently, my CA at Murray will be able to tell me which ship. I ordered mine on August 24th also. It was completed on September 8. I'll let you know if I get time to call him. By the way, their website says they are having some event today that we'll get a free ipad or $500 in accessories if we buy by October 31. Wonder if we can push for any of this stuff (I sort of hate to ask as I already beat them up on price and discounts).

My car is on the Antares Leader and listed as voyage 10. I hope your car got on there too!

My car arrived in Port Heuneme on October 9th. I just received word today (Oct. 18) that it is on the truck and headed to Denver. It seems that it really does take two weeks to get here after getting off the ship. In total, it will be 13 weeks from order to delivery.

Good to know. I'm on the Cepheus Leader which is scheduled to dock on the 25th. Waiting another 2 weeks after that is going to suck.

On another note. How did Murray do with preparing your car? I'm wondering if I should tell them to leave it alone and do my own detailing rather than risk them touching it. I've already told my CA to have them skip putting on the dealer badge.

[edit]Just realized you haven't actually received it yet. But please let me know how they do.
