I bet it's in, if not now, then Monday for sure. On Friday my MA told me the delivery date was March 27. Of course as I was on my way out of the dealership yesterday morning (March 26) a truck pulled up with my MINI on it! I'm confirmed for pickup tomorrow around noon.
Right now my OL shows my vehicle is at the VDC, with an Estimated Delivery Date of March 27
. A little outdated now. Anyway, my MA did say once there is a Delivery Date that usually means delivered to the dealership. He didn't think they would do a Sunday delivery in Cincinnati since both the MINI and BMW are closed on Sunday and nobody to take delivery from the trucker, so Monday might be more likely. He also said who knows it might even show up today (Saturday), and 10 minutes later, it did!

There are some good things to look for, but don't do like I did when I picked up Lil Guy, I forgot my list. Anyway, there was nothing wrong with the car. No rattles of any kind, no noises, extremely quiet it was and still is. I do have a paint imperfection on the bottom of the drivers door, and I really, don't think that it was there when I got him, but it sure is there now. Another thing, I asked my dealer NOT to do a thorough prep, just to give it a good wash and forget the polishing. Paint, in my opinion, is or was too new for applying pressure on the buffer. If it was to get swirl marks, I was to put them on it.

Fortunately, Maxx was not on that train and nobody was hurt, but they did have to evactuate some people living nearby as one of the rail cars had jet fuel and another had propane and one was on fire! Nothing untoward happened and all is well now, they are just clearing the line. They say they should be up and running again tomorrow.

I'm hoping to pick it up on Monday. I've been reading the owners manual online and it keeps referring to a separate radio manual. But I can't find this elusive radio manual!? I want to be an expert by the time it arrives

Maybe you can check the shipping company's website? If it sank, maybe they'll say something about it?
