I'm not saying you aren't in Munich, but you very well may not be either. Unfortunately this situation is so all over the place.


Type M I'm glad you got on with me dude. I'm not sure which ship specifically, but I'm guessing either Wild Rose, or Theben.


kgelfen360 Thanks dude!! Can't wait to join the club. In celebration I orded catless downpipes and midpipes lol

To all 3 of you, I'm gonna be going to Bimmerinvasion LA, on September 3rd, and my car will be part of the "show cars". Hope to see at least one of you there!

I got news for us. I'm on Wild Rose Leader, departed from Zeebrugge. So that seems to confirm to us that the M4s go to Zeebrugge, and the M3s to Bremerhaven! I'd imagine Type M is on the same ship as me then.

We are scheduled to arrived at Port Hueneme August 1st!!

If there's any solace in the situation, it's that Type M and I got on that brand new 2023 built ship! Maybe it's got some turbos 🤔😂

The real question is: does it have carbon buckets? 🤣

Glad to see it's all working out and your car will be part of the show cars. Be sure to take a bunch a pics and post them here. I'm in WA state so won't be able to make it.

What was your Production Date? I'm hoping you get on a ship soon. I'd imagine BMW would want to get all the 23 M3s to the dealers before the 24 M3s start hitting ships soon.

That is good news! I'm hoping I'm on the same ship as you. I emailed Genius this morning and hopefully will hear back from them tomorrow with what ship I'm on. Aug 1st arrival at Port Hueneme would be a dream at this point.

That is so weird and doesn't make sense as both of you have M3s so they should have practically come down the same assembly line. How is one M3 already on a ship and not yours as well? Again, if BMW would just communicate better to their customers people wouldn't get so upset. I hope you get on the next round of ships which should be coming up in about 10 days.

Nice!! Getting close! I think July 19th was a date I saw on one of the schedules for Antares hitting Port Hueneme. Do you have any Port installed accessories? I am curious for the WA dealers what method of transport is used to get from CA to WA and if the cars go straight to the dealers from the VPC or if they first go to a holding lot in WA where then it is moved to the dealerships.

I have the front splitters that need to be installed at VPC so I'm guessing that'll delay delivery. I have a solid rep at BMW Northwest so I've been working with that dealership over the last several years.

Once the car clears VPC and got onto a truck it should go directly to your dealer.

I’m in WA as well but my car is going to a SoCal dealer. Bc I was able to find one in production available there with the exact spec I wanted. Deciding if I should take a road trip back to Seattle or just ship it lol.

Nice. No add ons for me.
My guy at Seattle BMW told me. They get processed in CA then truck up to the dealer. He said up to 3 weeks….. hoping for less but he always kind of gives me like longest time frame for everything and then it’s usually faster then what he says. Lol.

I’ve done the drive from SoCal to PNW multiple times. It’s definitely a long one but I stop at every Target which are conveniently placed every 2.5 hours. I’d do it if it’s not during the winter!

[M4nication]

At least the benefit for me here is I live in LA, so it doesn't have the be trucked far at all. Though I might be at VDC for a bit, as I got the M Performance Suspension and some of that extra carbon fiber, like the side skirts and rear winglets

[FromCamryToG80]

Yeah I have been told the Wild Rose will either be there August 1 or August 2. Hoping to see mine around the 16th or so? I’m in AZ
