I don't know how they can dig out the cars that were already there... we had 60cm of snow. My bet is they load the fresh ones on trains first but I have no idea what their protocal is... hoping that's the case for your car!!

My Audi guy tells me the cars on the ships arriving now were loaded directly on the train.They were told to expect up to a month for cars buried in the yard.

They are putting that quattro system right to work even before it hits the dealers

I hope they push some BMWs along the side Audis right on the train. Mine arrived on Tosca carrier too.

My CA stopped telling me exact info and now asking BMW Canada for updates.

My dealer tells me mine is 'on rail', and E92LNGCGY (big thanks to him for the info!) has confirmed that it is indeed on a train, just still in Halifax, so I think those of us that came in on the Tosca are "skipping the queue"

Now of course I've got it in my mind that I could have the car as early as next week, so time has come to a crawl

My 9-year-old has already proclaimed that he will be in the driver's seat for the first photo at the dealer when we pick it up.

He also told his 11-year-old sister that she's not allowed in the car for the drive back from dealer... "it's boy's only for the first drive"

My dealer just got back to me, he said the car already left Halifax on rail, bypassing all the port delays and should be here in few weeks!
