Shipping companies...BMW M4

While sitting home quarantined in NYC, made the mistake of going on swap a lease. Ended up finding an amazing deal on an M4 competition package and decided to pull the trigger on it. The issue is the car is 18 hrs away. Have you guys purchased out of state and had a car delivered in an enclosed container, if yes, who did you use and what was your experience.

Where is the car located?

I shipped mine from NJ to CA and used Montaway. I cannot say I recommend them as they are just a broker and the carrier they used had HORRIBLE communication. They are by far the cheapest for a fully enclosed trailer. Cost about $1750 compared to other carriers who quoted me around $22-2400.

I wanted to use Intercity Lines (intercitylines.com) but they were booked out a month and a half with all the auctions going on in early Jan.

You need a transport broker. Call Bob (817) 557-4130. He sent a couple cars to me here in NY. Finds the best possible pricing unless you are in a rush of course.

Have used Intercity before for cross country moves and would highly recommend them.

Thank you for the recommendations. The car is in Iowa and I am in NYC

I used these guys to ship my M3 that I purchased in Chicago for delivery in Denver. They did a great job, they are a broker but very good to work with. The others that are great that I have used before is Intercity Lines.

Good luck with shipping.
