I see the same as what you describe between the app and the website. Of note, the digital brochure appears to show the correct LCI version of the car, interior and exterior. Except for maybe the trim on the steering wheel, but that's a separate question that I've got.

Anyone seen this before? I've only ever seen the steering wheel in gloss CF or silver trim, but this appears to be gloss black. I'm expecting it to be the silver trim; it'll be a pleasant surprise if this is accurate. I'm getting the M Performance matte cf trim kit installed at port, so all the brushed AL in the background won't be there.

Also just clicked over to quality control. Short stay there, hopefully...

My car has arrived at the port. Hopefully I can get on a boat soon to start the trip to Tx. SometimesLuthier, we will likely be on the same boat.

Looks like we'll be grouped with the Week 46 people. It seems like they're "in the same boat" as we are as far as timeline is concerned.

In QC now as well, hopefully will be a short stay (unlike my 2022).

[champagnepak1]

[SometimesLuthier]

Same here - just rocked through the last few QC steps and sitting at 182 as well.

It makes me smile knowing my M3 is a real thing out there now!

I see a lot of info on how to track orders from Germany, but my X5 is getting built in the US plant in South Carolina.

I'm in QC (155). I assume I will skip steps like carrier assignment and arrived at port since it's not going on a ship?

[champagnepak1]

Dispatched from Factory. Honestly... today was a great day fellas. Hope that the rest of our QC/Assembly/Carrier assignments go swimmingly and we're all at the Port by Monday.

Been in paint all day. Build date is scheduled for tomorrow so hopefully breezes through the next handful of steps.

I would still expect to see carrier and transport status updates, just not the port ones as you say.

Yes, this is a dumb and pointless question. Work is slow today.

I see the same as you in the My BMW app (pre-LCI). In Canada, we use BMW Connected Drive to track our cars, and I also only see the side profile of a white LCI M3 with the wrong rims lol. But I checked with my sales rep. and the dealership input everything correctly. Hoping for some movement tomorrow! ����

Funny! I never noticed the pre-LCI headlights on the status screen in the phone app. It felt like it was slightly outdated, but I couldn't point my finger what was off. It shows the right color, wheels and sunroof though. The gallery is 100% correct though.
The browser website shows a generic picture in the correct Skyscraper color, no Shadowline, but wrong wheels and a CF roof. LCI headlights though. I think it's all too generic as long as the car will be coming correctly configured.

[champagnepak1]

Oh yeah, I know the build is right and the apps/websites are just littered with visual bugs. I just want to see the LCI version for screenshots I send to family.. lmao

They won't be able to tell the difference. They are just happy for you.

Flipped to At The Port this morning. For Chicago delivery, I should be anticipating a ship to Baltimore, right?

[drbachata]

Entering assembly line!

New Jersey, most likely, but they stop at Balto first.

[champagnepak1]

See below for a screenshot of boats heading to Baltimore next week. The next ship leaves on November 26th, I believe.

I use the WW schedule here, if you want to do yourself: https://www.walleniuswilhelmsen.com/schedules

As well as the updated K Line RORO Schedule, which you can view yourself here: https://www.klineglobalroro.com/sche...f_schedule.pdf

Your build confirmation sheet should have the destination Port code listed in the top right (Port Loc). Should be able to search the code here on the forums to find out which it is, if it's not apparent.

True, mine has arrived already, picking up this weekend, time permitting. The boat proceeded to New Jersey after Baltimore.

Whoops, apologies! I quoted the wrong post in my reply. Congrats on the delivery!
