Is the VPC in NY/NJ closed due to Sandy????
My car is supposed to arrive in port 11-1 and I wondering if it will be delayed because of possible damage from flooding at the VPC. My dealer showed me a bulletin that that all BMW group facilities were closed today.

Latest update from BMW NA
Jersey City Vehicle Distribution Center • These facilities are currently without power and will remain closed, Wednesday, October 31. Utilities are working to restore power, however, they are unable to determine when power will return due to the widespread affects of the storm. At least out cars safe and sound on the boat. Hopefully no cars at the VDC have suffered damage (as most cars are in a parking structure/garage only a few should have been exposed to the elements) . Also the folks from the VDC have likely other things on their mind than our cars and I hope they and their families are safe ! we'll get our cars eventually and still have plenty time to drive them.

At the expense of sounding like a jerk at this point there are bigger fish to fry then delivery of a car. Please dont take it personally but the destruction and loss of homes/property puts things into perspective. I feel lucky to have my M5 but also feel luckier that I have a home to go back to today.

Looks like the port of Baltimore has resumed normal operation as of Wed morning.
They must have dodged the bullet with "Sandy"

This is all true. The Turandot is going currently off the southern coast of NJ heading to Baltimore's VPC. My car was supposed to arrive in NY today. Now it will arrive in Baltimore between tomorrow and Saturday. Mt dealer is 1 hour north of NYC so I wondering now how long it will be until the car goes from Baltimore to my dealer.

Pretty sure BMW NA is closed too (they're in North Jersey also), so that would make sense.
