Of course it shows it still there this morning and apparently does not change status again until it reaches the dealer. Eh, whatever.

The buyer of my 335 is being cautious, so we completed a PPI yesterday and I should get the check tomorrow and it will be shipped Monday or Tuesday, so it will all work out well. I shouldn't have to walk to work (in the rain, uphill both ways) for more than a few days next week.

The BMW website didn't show my car at the VPC until this morning. But agreed, it is improved. For my 545 back in 2004 it showed awaiting transport the day it arrived at my dealer!

What's interesting is that the toll-free "Production status line" is behind. One of the vehicles I'm tracking is actually at the dealership for days now, says so on BMWUSA's website tracker, yet says "This vehicle is in transit" on the phone line. Go figure!

That's nothing! The phone system still says at the port awaiting transport with no shipping information. My car is at the VPC or already on the way to my dealer. CA says he expects it by Friday!

Actually, once the car hits the VDC, the phone message goes to "awaiting transport" when it's at the VDC and "in transit" when it's at the dealer. Very strange!

Perhaps but have been getting the same phone update since 9/9, two days after my car finished production. And believe me, I've checked everyday... Multiple times some days!

Smile 6VC is in my week 36 -- picked up my car today

I am in overload mode with the iDrive but I got my new wheels tonight. My week 36 build has the 6VC combox. It's a long weekend in Canada so after I figure everything out, I'll report back with details.

Pictures! My SA said I would have the connect-drive/combox feature, but everything I see leads me to believe otherwise. Mainly my i-pod cable has two pieces and so does the port in the arm rest.

Worry not! There are still two ports in my car. My SA handed me the BMW double Cable but interestingly, only my white iPod cable worked. I have a Blackberry Torch and I was able to get text to voice to work, but on a subsequent drive, the messages did not load. I need to take the time to figure it all out. am pleased that its a long weekend in Canada. Lots of time to play!

Interesting. Sadly the only hardware I could test with is a bluetooth audio streaming. Not sure my Omnia i8910 is compatible.

A simple test is to play an iPod. With the combox you see the album art on the iDrive screen, as sure give away that you have the combox.

I'm happy for you guys that you have gotten your cars. Mine is... well, we don't really know. It's been "released to carrier" which means from 1 to 7 days to get here. I was hoping for delivery on Saturday, but it looks like it will be next week.

Oh like you wouldn't take off mid-week to take delivery.

And I ain't got no stinkin iPod. Will have to find a friend who has one to test with. Up till now I've only used AUX IN, MP3 CDs or most recently, a USB Stick for my automotive music needs.

Just picked up my M3 and the combox appears on the window sticker along with the rest of the options. If you had it I would think it is on your sticker as well...

Finally got my car yesterday! Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Thanks to all in our little week 35 support group. For those of you further West, have patience! It's worth the wait.

Sorry, no pic, it was dark by the time I got the car and still dark here now (early worker am I).
