[QUOTE=KQF;20591509]I also found this again on the main site: If you ignore the travel to the US 2 weeks seems possible for your car maybe 3:

-Build start (150) to build finish (155): 1-2 weeks.
-Build finish (155) to Scheduled for Carrier (182): 1 day.
-Status 182 to 190 (on a train to bremerhaven):1-3 days.
-Status 190 to 193 (at port awaiting a ship): 1-2 days.
-Status 193 to 195 (on a ship): 3-5 days for east coast delivery, 5-12 days for west coast delivery (more detail on this later)
-Shipping time from Bremerhaven to East Coast: 12-17 days depending on the number of stops.
-Shipping time from Bremerhaven to West Coast: About 30 days.
-Offload at port: 1 day
-Processing through customs: 1-2 days
-Process through BMW Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) and onto a carrier: 2-5 days.
-Shipping time on carrier to Dealership: 1-4 days.

Production Plant to Bremerhaven

So if I look at this a week to get to Port now and assume you cana ship within a day another 3-5 days to Southampton about 4 days to clear the VPc centre and customs and a 1 day to the dealer then I guess they need half or a whole day to prep the car for you..

then you just need to collect it

I literally cannot wait I got a 1.5 petrol Ford Focus zetec as a hire
