Sorry to hear about your wait. I’m in Florida and would love to have it right now lol.

Dispatched from factory now, hopefully it sneaks onto a ship soon!!

How exciting!!! I still can't believe you had to wait that long(week 38). I really hope you get on a ship and they ship it straight to your backyard in FL!

I don’t know why I can’t track my M3 on the BMW website. I have the VIN and it keeps telling me it’s an error but I was able to register my car through the US Military overseas and get an insurance through USAA. USAA even saw it as an M3. My BMW app recognizes the VIN but when I try to download the owners manual through Driver’s Guide, I get an error too. Then my sales advisor told me today it’s in a final stage of production. 🤔 🤔 🤔

I think you need the production number to track through the website.
It will show your vin on the web, but It's worthless.
I've been trying to use it to read the owners manual and I too get an error message.

So my dealership sends me the VIN today but my Sales Advisor already gave it to me about two weeks ago. This time I was able to download the manual but I’m a bit worried the color of my car on the app. I hope it’s just the default color of the M on the app. When I had an X1 and X3 it showed the exact colors. Is it Frozen White in the app?

That’s an individual color, so it’s not going to show frozen white , it’s going to show a color very similar to brooklyn grey, which is what your seeing , your all good bro!!

Nice! Mine hasn't changed over yet but we have the same build date. What port are you heading to stateside?

Brunswick. Maybe we can get on the same ship!

Hawaiian Highway is supposed to leave tomorrow or Friday from Bremerhaven, then Donnington is the next one to Brunswick on 2/20. Orion Highway is just after on 2/24. Good odds to get our cars in early March!

M3YEC · 02-09-2023, 04:46 PM

Still dispatched from factory on mygarage, is it normal for it to take this long to get to the port? Production date was 2/3.

It's probably on the train but just hasn't been unloaded and scanned in yet at the port.

Got the message today...made it onto Hawaiian Highway!
Estimated into Brunswick on 2/25. I'm also doing PCD hopefully sometime in March if everything continues to roll smoothly. Post your dates when you get them to see if they are close.

That's awesome, so quick! Hoping us Week 6, 7, 8 people get on a boat quickly!

That's great news!! I'm still showing At the Port but I'll call Genius tomorrow and see if they have better details.

Congrats! That’s amazing. I’m still in 190, dispatched from factory for over a week. Hope they didn’t forget my car or damage it… anyone ever hear of getting stuck in that status code? Usually it’s QC or ACA where people get stuck.

I was "dispatched from factory" for almost 2 weeks. After getting on a ship I saw my G80 was picked up from Zeebrugge Port, usually majority of G80 are sent to Bremerhaven which is closer to factory but few get sent to Zee for whatever reason.

Oh wow. My luck I guess 😭

Anybody know about Zeebrugge ships leaving in February? Do the M4s typically ship from that port?

Yeah the M4s are at Zeebrugge. Ships leaving for Brunswick on Feb 15, 22 & 27. There are changes to schedule sometimes.

Do all the M4s go all the way over to Zeebrugge? I didn't know they have been using that port vs Bremerhaven.
