Port to dealer

After a long wait, my car (24M4) is on the brook something scheduled to arrive in Georgia on the 23rd. Of course I'm going on vacation first week of August. How long does it usually take to get from the port to the dealership? My car is arriving in Brunswick and is going to South Florida. Any ideas

My car hit the port and then was put on a truck within 3 days and arrived at the dealer on the 5th day. My port was Baltimore and the dealer is in IL. I was shocked at how fast it moved and the 4th of July holiday was in there.

BMW has been prioritizing getting sold cars to the dealerships, mine was three days. 3-5 days should be your expectation.

Someone recently had their m3 delivered in 4 days from port to dealer, roughly 1,000 mile trip.

There are many, many threads on this topic and there's no one answer. If yours is the third ship into port in two days, there'll be very a very different processing time than a lone ship this week.

I hit the jackpot in many ways last year with my M8 (59 days from order to delivery). That car arrived on a ship that docked in Brunswick on a Tuesday morning and the car was delivered to me in South Florida two and a half days later, on Thursday night. I gotta say though, I'm not counting on that ever happening again!

Very nice! I think I may beat that record — car is on track for 50 days from order to delivery. It’s still possible, the stars just have to align.

So, of course, my car is still at the port on Brunswick. Expected to arrive here on Sunday, the day I leave on a seven day cruise. You can only imagine I will be going straight from the port to the dealer when I get back...

Bummer. Sorry to hear that. But none of it will matter an hour after you have your car. Have a great vacation!
