Transportation is a problem here in the US also. The transporter picked my car up on the 13th of June, 60 miles from my Mini dealer and decided to deliver it on the 17th.. I can't complain too much due to the fact that I ordered my car on the 9th of May and it hit the port here in NJ\NY on the 11th of June.. Now I'm waiting for the dealer to program and PDI the car..
