You might be better off. Manon is due to arrive in NY on March 4th. When is Wisdom Ace due?

If I'm reading it correctly, it shows 3/1 for NY/NJ arrival.

Let's hope the weather in the North Atlantic cooperates. When I got my M3, there was a big storm, so the ship had to take a big detour around it. The ship ended up being 5 days late.

This will be my 5th BMW. I got emails from
BMW NA offering me a $2K loyalty discount. That's typical. I think everyone gets those. Right?

In terms of the additional 8% off, I started at 11% off MSRP plus the $2K loyalty discount. I made an offer. We went back and forth a little and then settled at 8% off plus the $2K discount. My target was 7% so I feel pretty good about the deal. Other people claim they get more than 8%, but that's probably only possible if you're getting a car already on the lot. I'm ordering mine. Getting the exact specs I want.

My ship is tracking 2 days behind schedule. I have a business trip scheduled for the week of March 18, so I'm starting to get a little concerned. I should have the car by the 15th, but if there is any more slippage, my car could be ready for pickup when I'm out-of-town.

Yeah similar situation for mine. The ship was scheduled to dock in NY on 3/1 initially but looks more like 3/6 right now.

I was tracking my ship (Wisdom Ace) on it's way to NY (not far now) and I saw your Manon docked in Halifax. Is NY the next port for the Manon after it leaves Halifax?

Yes, mine is in Halifax and headed to NY too. It should be leaving very soon. A tug boat has pulled next to it. So that's a good sign. I'm hoping to have my car by the 15th.

My car is in port.

2 days late. Not bad considering what the weather is like in the North Atlantic this time of year. It could have been much worse.

I'm hoping to have it by next Friday, the 15th.

Nice!!! mine appears to be off the vessel. Have you been in contact with your sales rep on an estimated date or is the 15th your best guess?

Yes, he said I should have it on or before the 15th. Fingers crossed.

My client advisor texted me pictures of my car. I'm picking it up tomorrow. Can't wait!

I'll post better pictures after I pick it up.
