Ive only had bad experiences with Freehold, despite getting my E92 there.

My current order is in with Circle, but I've still been waiting for over 5 weeks.

My car scheduled for week 19 production started production today with a May 6 completion estimate, about a week early. I heard some others with CB seats like me started today. Might have been a CB seat delay that is now available.

Sweet - you got the two tone AW/SPY option with the Spiderman wall sticking tires.

. Does it get a lot of attention while driving and parked and gas stations?

My car went to status 152 yesterday and I keep checking for the next step. It's about exciting as watching paint dry.

how long did status 150 to 151 and 152 take you ... I have been in 150 for 3 days now..?

My car went to "production started" yesterday. Place the order March 13th I believe the FPB paint delayed the build date by a 2 weeks.

Nice to see someone with Frozen paint going into production. I placed my order on April 9th, Frozen white paint should be going into production sometime in may

Well it's been 25 days since my car was built and it's still sitting at the port waiting for a boat. I'm super disappointed but nothing I can do. I stopped checking so much and have tried to not think about it as I thought for sure I was getting this thing early to mid May at the latest. At this rate i might not get the car until late May first of June.

This is what's frustrating, I placed my order the same day and it's not even in production yet.

I placed my order 2 days before that and still have a June production date for FDG. You're in great shape....

So after this original message this morning I contacted my salesman and he gave me great news! I'm on a boat as of yesterday the 23rd! It's the Hoeg Autoliners carrier which I hadn't seen mentioned in any of the threads in the forums. I typed my VIN in their search engine and it came up to arrive in Baltimore estimated May 6th!

DandyDan · 04-24-2021, 10:56 AM

Status just changed to “In Transit” and on its way to the Port of Baltimore.

I've heard that once it gets to Baltimore that it can easily be 5 days or more for unload, customs and to get a ride to your dealer but I guess someone else that has maybe gone through this recently can chime in with a better estimate? Congrats on the new job and new car!

Uh, yea. Mine has been "at the port" for 13 days now.

I called the Genius earlier in the week and she said it was supposed to have left the port 3 days ago and arrived at the PC yesterday. I know the website can lag behind actual life a bit and I suppose in the end for me it doesn't entirely matter as my PCD is 18d from now so they just need to get it there for that. I'd still just like to see some movement on it though.

Just confirmed with VIN that my M3 IOMG/Tartufo is on the Hoegh Bangkok headed to Baltimore- eta 5/6/21. But its headed to the Performance Center after that- no date yet scheduled there but they had said it had to be on a ship first before they schedule.
