My CA advised that I should be picking it up on the 30th as of now...
That may change, of course!

Was that an assumption or did they actually get feedback on a truck and pickup? My status now shows as "At Port" again so just curious.

How was the payment for this added to the build? Upfront, on the final invoice? How difficult was it to add this with your CA. I asked about adding the MP front lip and I got some confusion from my CA. Any suggestions?

Took my SA some time to figure it out. I had him contact their BMWNA representative, and that cleared things up pretty quickly. They add it on to your invoice/sticker. Supposedly, you can add port-installed products all the way up until it arrives at port stateside.

Hello,

For reference, We are waiting for an I4 to come to Houston (Galveston). It has been at the port since April 28,2023. Still there today. So there are delays.

Mine kept up with the real time, with the exception of a da or so here and there...
Yesterday, it switched "At the dealer" as it happened, and today, it is showing in my garage.

Picked it up 5PM last night.

I was "At the port" from April 11-May 8, so...not unusual wait.
Was lucky to catch a super boat, only one stop, 13-day trip to Galveston, cleared the VPC in 1 day and was on the truck the next day. 2 days in transit, picked it up exactly 5 hours after it arrived to my dealer (they tinted it and did all the necessary prep and wash).

Same for me. Hope it's on the Drive Green Highway, but I read it can be 4 days after departure before the status changes to in transit.

Looks like Drive Green Highway has left port today so hopefully we have an update on June 4th.

I called the Genius line today and they said my car is still at the port and hasn't been assigned to a ship yet, which happens before the ship is actually loaded. SO I'm definitely not on Drive Green Highway

I will say that my car sat at the port for exactly 5 weeks before it was loaded onto the Drive Green Highway yesterday. Hopefully yours will make it onto the next ship.

When did you find out it made it on to DG Highway? I guess its pretty safe to say I didn't make it on. Going to Galveston so hoping for ARC Integrity.

Mine switched to "in transit" early Wednesday afternoon. Then I called the Genius line to confirm the ship it was on. They were also able to give me an ETA into Galveston.
