Hurricane--The New Orleans ports are shut down and the over flow of imported materials will be re-directed to others like Charleston,SC-New York ect... where BMW cars will be coming in. Even thow my car will be coming in Charleston, this overflow might delay customs from getting at it as quickly as they have in the past due to all the extra work. I am counting on a Mid October delivery as my car is due to a Sept. 6th production start. I hope I am wrong.

PS- I remember when a hole ship sank with BMW's on it in New Orleans a couple years back before they started building the x5's here.

not to flame, but, please really, do you see what is going on down there? I think that the delivery of your car should be the last thing on your mind when you see the devistation that has taken place in the region. There may be thousands dead just in New Orleans. Be lucky that we can look on from a distance...

I have helped 3 unknown families move already, was out till 11:30 pm moving them in to a temp rental, as I am in real estate here in FL. I have donated all of my commissions of the rentals back to the families ,so yes, I am well aware of what is going on in New Orleans. But, thank you for your thoughts as people should know what is going on there.

But people will ask when are they getting their car? I am telling them why there might be a delay. Oh, and I still want my car ASAP.

I would agree with M5floyd - it is a reasonable question to ask.

Guys, the cars will probably land in NJ or SC, depending on your location.

An interesting article about the port situation from today's New York Times (September 1st) at http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/01/business/01cargo.html

New Orleans, LA, USA is not the only place on Earth that has experienced some catastrophic event...even as I type this! theres always groups of people suffering in this world- and as sad and horrid as the suffering is, it doesnt mean we have to stop being personally excited about our cars..nor is it a crime to ponder the hurricane's effect on U.S. deliveries. If BMW had to stop selling cars everytime someone suffered on Earth, BMW wouldnt exist.

Feel bad for those suffering, do what you can to help, but dont lambast someone for asking a legitimate question. My 2 cents. :nono:

So, are you helping or feeling bad for those suffering?
