It would be interesting to see some actual numbers to help us assess, but I'm sure their first preference (easier/faster/cheaper) is to send the cars by train straight to B'Haven and get them shipped ASAP.

Agreed. Keeping the cars moving means keeping the line moving which keeps the money moving!

It is very cool to think that my first BMW has finally been born!

My current M440 is called Lady Z, mainly because of the individual paint color Zanzibar 2! Have not come up with a name for my G83 PB tartufo interior yet. My red M240 convertible was easy, Little Red Riding Hoodless!!

I'm going with "Vesper" ... as in Vesper Lynd (James Bond - Casino Royal) for the IOM Green and Kyalami orange combo!

Orion Highway and Arc Integrity both (finally) left port this evening. With any luck, some of us will flip to "in transit" in the next day or two.

As I think Mark Kez once said a single time: Keep hope alive

All of us coming to east coast?

I'm actually headed to Charleston for PCD.

Both these ships are heading to Baltimore, Charleston, and Brunswick, with Arc continuing to Galveston. (Sorry, no NY/NJ).

You're single handily saved me so much time researching ships and schedules. Thanks for ur help my dude 🤝

Just switched to "in transit" over night. I'm right around the 12 day mark at port. Hoping it doesn't just mean I was at Krefeld. I'm headed to Baltimore and must have made one of those ships that just left. Did someone on here say to "keep hope alive"?😆

Here's to hoping several of us made these boats that just left!

Happy for you, but looks like I'm still at port (since May 9). A couple more ships leaving this week, so there's still hope...

Monday I went into "Transit" and Tuesday I went back to "At Port".

I'll be doing PCD delivery...whenever it finally hitches a ride.

Damn no way, what a tease from bmw. Hope We all get on a boat soon.

I am guessing that your vehicle was moved alongside mine on Friday the 27th. Are you coming to east coast?

I agree bro, I don't think "at the port" means what I think it means either. I hope I get on a ship soon too, thanks so much. I am in fact coming to the east coast as well. My dealer is in SC, but the car is coming home to me in FL. Genius confirmed my car is going to Brunswick, GA

Exactly! You'd swear they were building a G82 mansion with all the time they're taking. I'm keeping hope alive, but I'm exhausted and pissed off. My build is as follows:

M4 Competition RWD
BSM/Fiona Red full leather
825M bi-color wheels
Red M brakes
Exec pack
Park assist
Laserlights with shadowline
CF trim
CF buckets
Exterior CF pack
M Drive Pro

The manuals and rear wheel drive cars have been the slowest builds. It’s what i’ve noticed since I joined this forum.

The Don Carlos is leaving tomorrow with stops in NY, SC and Brunswick. I got a feeling!!! Keep hope alive!!

I guess they’re getting low on Germans who can drive stick

I haven’t noticed a lot of those being delayed, but I’d say mine definitely doesn’t seem to be too slow compared to some other peoples’ wait time.

I ordered a manual G80 rwd. Got allocation March 2nd, car produced May 2nd, offloaded in Charleston May 27th.

Take a look back at week 14-21 build week threads and stuck in purgatory thread and you’ll see the trend I speak of, it’s documented there.

Status just changed to port, you guys think I would I be able to catch Don Carlos right away?? 🤡
