So anyone else here on the "Antares Leader"?

philthy84 · 08-16-2011, 09:36 PM

Looks like it left San Diego earlier today and is now making the short trip up the California coast to Port Hueneme. Should arrive at Port Hueneme around midnight from what it says on the tracking site. Can't believe the wait is almost over been waiting since June 6th. I just hope my 335is wasn't damaged during transit and it can leave the BMW prep center ASAP. Trying to keep my fingers crossed for a Sat. delivery up here to Portland but I doubt that will happen and it's mostly likely going to be a early next week delivery for me.

Anyways, just trying to see who are the other anxious new BMW owners on the same boat as me.

My 335i is on the Antares Leader (ordered June 28.) Looks like the ship will dock at Port of Hueneme around 1:00 this afternoon.

Brent13 · 08-18-2011, 09:11 AM

I read somewhere that it's probably 2 days at Port Hueneme VPC, 2 days transit by truck and 1 day for dealer prep. But I'm not certain that's the case. I'm thinking we should see our cars the beginning/middle of next week if that's correct.

philthy84 · 08-18-2011, 08:06 PM

I was having lunch by Kuni BMW today and decided to stop by the dealership afterwards. I asked them what was the status of my car and they pulled it up on the computer and it said that it was already released from the VPC and given to the transporting people already. So I was told there might be slight chance it arrives on Saturday but mostly likely Monday.

Brent13 · 08-18-2011, 11:21 PM

Thanks for the update. I gotta admit, I think this has been the longest 7-8 weeks of my life . . .

philthy84 · 08-22-2011, 11:33 AM

Did you hear anything from Kuni, Brent? I'm hoping today will be the day.

Brent13 · 08-22-2011, 04:33 PM

Nothing yet . . .

Brent13 · 08-22-2011, 09:19 PM

Just got the call . . . I can pick it up tomorrow after 3:00!

philthy84 · 08-23-2011, 06:34 AM

Wow congrats, if that's the case I'm calling them first thing in the morning when they open. I figure my car has to be there also if yours is, unless of course they used more then one truck to deliver to the same dealer.

philthy84 · 08-23-2011, 06:53 PM

Let me know if you were able to take delivery. I'm being told my car hasn't arrived yet.

Brent13 · 08-23-2011, 11:10 PM

Yeah, I picked it up tonight . . . incredible car. Sorry to hear you're still waiting. Hopefully you'll get good news soon.

Brent13 · 08-24-2011, 11:50 PM

Any word yet?

philthy84 · 08-26-2011, 01:18 AM

Yes I just took delivery today finally. I'm loving every minute so far driving her around.
Here are some crappy iPhone pics.

Brent13 · 08-26-2011, 09:43 PM

Very cool! Glad your car finally came in.
