What do you mean MIA? My CA said that the Cepheus Leader cars are still in customs as of this morning. Don't worry you Cephues Leader guys are going to get your cars back before the Fidelio guys do anyway.

RPi I have it on good authority your car was spotted at various socal clubs last night. The unnamed VDC employee wanted to say thanks to you, his love life has never been this good.

My CA told me the car was released to VDC last monday. So the car has been at VDC for a week now.

BMW site tracking also shows the car is at VDC.

But call to VDC and BMWNA have produced no other result. The way this is going, I won't get my car back before my business trip to china.

I am leaving next monday and won't be returning until mid december. So, it will take 3 months after drop off to be able to drive my car.

Have you called BMW special services for an update? The office is now open after being closed for most of last week due to Sandy. 800.932.0831

So that's why I got those weird phone calls this weekend, telling me thanks for the good time.

Haha busted!

BMW is saying my car was "released to trucking". I may call and bug the Waggoners dude and see if he has any info.

Same as yours, BMW of S.B. I got that $ over ED invoice deal you hooked alot of us up with.

hsiaochinsan · 11-05-2012, 04:35 PM

Just picked up mine. Here is the news thing I learned. Originally the oil bump was supposed to be installed in dealer. It actually was done in vpc. BMW has called dealer to return the bump they have received. I am happy owner now. Hope your cars will arrive soon!

I did. I spoke to Jimmy Laski. My BMW oil pump case specialist.

He is totally clueless on where my car is. He just got back into office today. When i called him, he forgot who i was. Then said he will try to find out where my car is and call me back.

Well- he never called me back.

sdheadhunter · 11-05-2012, 06:19 PM

i was told last week my car was scheduled to be delivered to the dealer on 11/1. today i've been told that the oil pump still needs to be replaced and they don't know when that's going to happen.

Ugh. OK in that case I may not be seeing my car as soon as I had hoped.

sdheadhunter · 11-05-2012, 07:02 PM

i just wish they would be honest and say that they don't have enough oil pumps or whatever the real issue is and just tell us the truth.

I finally got hold of BMW today.

Here is what i know so far

1. My car arrived at VPC on 10/30- which i think its BS. Because on the website showed the car at VPC on thursday.

2. Oil pump had been replaced. But strange thing is they did the 1200 miles service on my car even though it only had about 700 miles. I think they may be changed that by mistake since i left my car in KM, which is about 1147km. So i think BMW screwed up on that.

3. My car rear bumper needs to be replaced. So its waiting for that.

Now I am concerned that BMW screwed up my oil service.
