COOL! I raced moto-x and did some good fishing in Rivers! Good Ukrainian/Polish food in that area. Fill my trunk please.

Quick question. Would cars coming from Halifax to Ottawa typically use rail for transport? or trucks?

This depends on dealer. Some members received their car in Toronto via truck while others receive via rail. I would double check with the dealer.

Yes trucking will be quicker for sure. However I am not sure if the dealer is willing to do that because the cost is significantly higher.

And I'd encourage you to keep on top of your dealer - my delivery experience hasn't been great - car landed in Halifax July 8th and just got onto CN late last week - that's 4+ weeks of sitting...

PS - I'm in Victoria

I email my SA every 2-3 days for an update. It's been about 2.5 weeks and he can't get any information on where my car is. Is your dealer able to tell you where your car is? My SA says the computer just shows the dates of when it left Bremerhaven and when it arrived which is information I already know....

I suspect its still waiting in Halifax for a rail car, as E92LNGCGY has been kindly checking to see if my car is on the rail and he hasn't seen it come up on the system yet.

Correct and I just checked your car it is still not showing on CN. I would guess it would be soon though because it's close to the 3 weeks average layover in Halifax.

Seriously? 3 weeks? Is there anything the dealer can do to make sure it goes on the train asap? I asked my sales guy to see if he can request that my vehicle be trucked over instead.. don't know how that would go.

Dealer can request urgent loading onto rail car but at the end it is up to the logistics company. If you are in the west then the chances of trucking may be very slim.

Couple of suggestions:

• make sure your dealer has marked your car as a "sold" unit. I believe this helps priority
• have your dealer contact LHF (Hansens) and ensure your delivery is marked as a rush / priority delivery. It seems Hansens is BMW's logistics manager for both rail and truck delivery across Canada - I saw the emails between my dealer and Hansens asking for priority and status.

And PS - what I heard today from my dealer on the car's delivery status was exactly the same as the information provided by E92LNGCGY - many thanks to him for the valuable service.

And PPS - E92LNGCGY - let's hear about your new car!
