"Dionysos Leader" headed to Port Hueneme (ETA 2/18)

aftergl0w23 · 02-19-2022, 01:25 PM

As a reference, my M3 CX is going to BMW San Francisco. I just called Genius and they said it’s scheduled to leave the VPC tomorrow and estimated to arrive at BMW SF on Thursday, 2/24.

I hope that’s not true given BMW SF is like 6 hours from the VPC but who knows. The Genius rep also said they have been experiencing delays with shipping.

She recommended to check back on Monday when they will have a better ETA given it has shipped out.

So for anyone waiting, Monday may be good timing to call…

That's interesting, I previously thought the VPC is closed on Sundays.

That’s interesting. They told me 26th for Steve Thomas which is 15 min away from The port. Makes no sense

Mine is going to Colorado. CA said its scheduled to arrive on 2/26 but then said it will probably be another 2 weeks due to delays. Trucking shortage perhaps?

Mine was released to carrier to CO on the 10th. Still showing “at the port”.

Just Called BMW Genius.

They told me that my car has been "released to carrier" and should be arriving at the dealership on 2/26. I am also picking up at Steve Thomas BMW which is super close to the port! I hope I can pick it up then..

baseboy6 · 02-21-2022, 02:49 PM

Steve Thomas guys our cars are at the dealership

Important question for the group! Does anyone have any mods lined up already?

The dealership will be doing PPF and Glasscoat before it ships out to me but I've been accumulating quite a few boxes in my garage throughout my wait

. So far:

R44 Carbon Front Splitter
R44 Carbon Ducts
R44 Ducktail Spoiler
R44 Carbon Side Skirts
Brooklyn Grey Side Reflector Inserts
BMS Cold Air Intake
13mm Front and Rear Wheel Spacers

Waiting to see the clearance with spacers, splitter, and skirts before I pull the trigger on some springs. Salt Lake has some very large speed bumps that I would hate to scrape on

Next mod before springs will likely be the Valvetronic midpipe which from what I can tell (and from the description on the Valvetronic website) will not throw a CEL and does not require a tune to use.

What does everyone else have lined up???

Looking forward to seeing this all together! Definitely need to see some photos once its done. Not too much longer now.

Mine flipped to in transit earlier today, my SA called me today and said it is estimated to arrive Saturday, but I'm pretty sure it will be there tomorrow morning at the latest considering it's only about 3 hours away.

mcar andy · 02-22-2022, 09:19 PM

Mine is still showing at the port, but the dealer called and said the car is being loaded on a transport tomorrow and should be here ready to deliver anywhere from Thursday-Monday at the latest.

byebyem2comp · 02-22-2022, 11:33 PM

Wondering if you could let us know what dealer your car is bring shipped to? I’m expecting in San Diego on the same boat. Called Genius today and was notified my car is released to carrier but hasn’t been loaded. If you’re three hours way just wondering if it is North or South. Thanks!

I was told the same thing by Genius earlier today. Don’t know what access the dealer has to all of this info but Genius said released to carrier but hasn’t been assigned a carrier / truck. What direction is your car headed? Mine is headed for San Diego.

Thanks!
