looks like we are just getting offloaded now since Morning Lynn was moved in port to where Arc Honor was yesterday.

Yeah the tugs came out at like 10pm EST to start moving the Morning Lynn and when I woke up I saw that it was where the Arc Honor was docked for the past two days. Well at least we are here! Hopefully things move quickly at VPC and we get our babies soon!

Yep mine just switched back to "At the Port" meaning it was successfully offloaded. Now just need to get my MP HAS suspension installed at the port and get it on a truck to come to its new home!

X3Bimmer22 · 04-23-2024, 09:08 AM

i called genius to see if there were any updates. She said all she sees was it was scanned at the port but no other updates as of yet. now that i can see the finish line the angst is serious hahaha i just want it!!!

My car (M2) was offloaded at the Newark port on April 8th and has been sitting there since. The only port-install I have is the MP HAS. Neither the geniuses, nor my CA know why it’s not moving. My guess is a back order on the suspension parts.

I’ve been looking at other forums (which is why I’m in M3/M4), to see if anyone else has answers, but no luck. As much as I hate to say it, you might have to temper your expectations. It’s very frustrating.

Yeah when I got my F82 it sat at the port for a couple weeks because of a couple port installed items. Hoping both you and I get outta there soon!

jbirb305 · 04-23-2024, 02:21 PM

Hmm my guess is they order the parts for port installed options once the car arrives which is the reason for the delay?

Mine was delivered at the dealership today, estimated pickup is Thursday.

Agree - that must be record time. Congrats!
Gives me some hope Because Genius told me today that I got to the port in Germany last week and to expect to be there 4-6weeks and to call back late in May to find out if I made it on the ship. 😱😱🤷&zwj;♂️

Don't believe the 4-6week line that has been told to many of us by the so called Genius. It's a line that they have to say to you just in case things get messed up. Most seem to get out of Germany in 2-3 weeks at most, not that there aren't outliers. Hopefully you get out soon!

X3Bimmer22 · 04-23-2024, 07:02 PM

heck yeh thats fast. they got our cars processed fast. I am also in transit as of tonight.could arrive at my dealer tonight since im only an hour and a half from port. Hoping to pick up tomorrow or Thursday !!

Yep - I recognized the genius statement as covering their bases in case things get delayed. I’m also spoiled because my last car in 2022 got to port may 6 and was on the ship in transit 5 days later. Of course I was unrealistically expecting the same thing to happen this year 😂
