- so basically your saying it takes about a month and a half for the car to arrive at a south African dealership from Germany?
my f32 is currently in production, with production expected to end tomorrow ( 12 - 11 - 2013). assuming production does end tomorrow can I expect the car to be at my dealership in Durban by 31 Dec 2013? is that likely? because on the bmw website they approximate that my car will only reach here by the end of Jan 2014. I hope they are just playing it safe with those dates
If the process of your vehicle takes the exact same amount of time as mine then according to my calculations:
If your vehicle production complete status is: Tuesday 12th November then
your estimated date of ship docking at Durban port will be: Thursday 19th December
Depending on your location, your vehicle should arrive at the dealership by: Friday 27th December and should be ready to collect by Monday 30th December or Tuesday 31st December that's if all of this went according to exactly what I experienced.

But here's the BUT... and in your case there is a BUT. You've got to remember that we've got holidays in between all of this so in my opinion just out of experience of getting hopes up, rather set your mind to take delivery of your BMW within the 2nd week of January 2014.

But you never know with BMW, sometimes they pull miracles out of their ar$es, what you should do is have a chat with your sales consultant and ask if there's a possibility of taking delivery this year.

Keep in mind that you've payed a boat load of money for your vehicle so you can ask your sales consultant as many questions as you want.

I hope I've sort of helped you out If not message me all you want
