Would be grateful if you could share your timeline (from “Dispatched from Factory” onwards). Anything you remember off the top of your head would be helpful to us mortals with our cars still sitting somewhere in Germany…

Has it changed to In Transit or At The Dealership now?

Anyone know the typical timeline from Galveston Port to a Houston dealer? My car just landed in Galveston this morning...really crossing my fingers to take delivery this week.

As of now it seems like a crapshoot in terms of when a truck will be available to pick it up.

They also seem to be having issues with updating the tracking info once it arrives. They either update it like an hour before it shows up to the dealer or it never updates at all and then shows up to the dealer out of nowhere.

I had the RAM stop sale and took 10 days from when it arrived in Galveston to get to my Dealership in Austin.

I did. Ca came in on his day off. Got it dropped off to ceramic pro Woodlands with 63 miles on the dash for ppf. Will get to enjoy it in 10 days or so.

My car is done at VPC and Genius says estimated date is Friday 2/4. I wonder if that holds true or these dates have been off.

It didn't arrive but was assigned to the carrier. Supposedly it's on the truck and should arrive Monday. Build was complete 11/26 for reference so about 2.5 months after build was done should be arrival

So, basically, the stop sale took about 10 days to clear. Still, seems your build took a long time between production date and arriving to Galveston. Did you have other delays in QC, or just a long wait at the port in Germany?

Yea no other delays. Car arrived in Galveston on 1/16 or 1/17. The stop sale didn't take too long. I'm anxious for it to get here but not as slow as I thought it would be

Ah! Thought you were in Houston. The user city doesn’t display in the mobile version of the forum (which I’ve been mostly using). Good luck with your car!

M3 landed in Galveston on the 1st of Feb, got confirmation that it will get on the trailer on the 5th and be at the dealer on the 8th (did not change to in transit as of this posting). I guess I got lucky and did not have a stop sale, my SA told me they have a solution for it ready at hand so they can fix them fast. Anyone else have their M3 land on the 1st?

gooshi · 02-07-2022, 05:17 PM

For those looking for information on their M3 being picked up from the port, here is an update on my experience so far. Car got dispatched to the transporter today and the status changed immediately to "in transit". It is estimated for it to arrive tomorrow to Classic BMW in Plano, TX. I was told the transporter usually makes stops at other dealers along the way, so people should be getting their cars tomorrow (fingers crossed) if they were on the ship that landed on the 1st of Feb.

Mine got dispatched to the carrier Thursday last week and it still shows at the port. Just waiting. It was supposed to arrive yesterday.

Called the genius line and still no update since Thursday. Man this slow process is hard to wait even when you expect it to be slow

I feel you brother, should be soon. Car should 'arrive' today, but honestly my hopes are low. Even though the drive from Galveston to Dallas is not that far, I feel like something will slow it down. I tried finding who the carrier is but was not successful. At first I thought it was United Road, but it did not seem like they picked up any cars from Galveston. It sucks not having access to information.
