Quite a bit of backlog.

Thanks for the link. Yeah it's been 4 days now for me stuck in the dispatched from factory spot unless it's just not updating which wouldn't surprise me either. The port does look full although not sure if that's the way it looks all the time? Either way nice weather is here and I'm ready to start enjoying this car so the wait is killing me lol!

I still see it as us that will be receiving our cars in the next month or so as being first to the grid. Not many have gotten cars yet at least on the forums so many will still be interested on our takes I hope. I know in my area it will be like seeing a new vette as the take rates aren't high for M3's around myself.

This seems odd that it's still in this status unless they found something wrong with your car? My car finished the 31st and flew right through the quality check phase.

Mine is on day 12 of waiting at the port. I'm hoping it's just something for everyone where the updates haven't been making it to the site, otherwise this is going to be a pretty significant delay for all the cars that aren't in transit yet.

Do you have carbon seats? Someone else said their car sat in quality check for 2 weeks.

I'm stuck in QC as well. Easy to make yourself crazy overthinking it, is what it is.

My is at day 12 of waiting at the port as well. Just called BMW Genius to see if they possibly have any updates - they don’t

Maybe the Easter holidays had something to do with it in Europe?

Hopefully it gets on a boat this week.

Good to know. I was considering calling them to see if they had any knowledge as to when it might get on a boat. Guess I'll skip that call.

There are a few ships coming in starting on the 7th that are going to the east coast. It's gotta be on one of them.

I asked my dealer to get me an updated date. I don't BMW Genius is going to be very helpful for us until it's actually on a boat.

How do you know what's coming and where they are going?

Any of the ship tracking sites should be able to show you scheduled arrivals, but I like this one because it shows the ship type (vehicle carrier) right away https://www.fleetmon.com/ports/breme...6/?language=en

I also checked the schedules of Wallenius Wilhelmsen and one other carrier that goes to the east coast.

I have the regular seats. I have seen multiple posts about the carbons delaying builds but it would seem odd a car would make it as far as yours without having them available in the first place?

[LuckyBrand]

Just for reference as well because I'm not sure how accurate the Genius and MyBMW site is after it leaves the factory but I was following my local dealers HEA build a while back and it was at the port for 3 to 4 weeks and then all of a sudden it jumped to at the dealership. It just sucks because if things are moving and we can't get an accurate track like in that situation were just stressing out for nothing lol.

My vessel is supposed to arrive tomorrow 4/6 at nj port vdc. I wonder how long it stays there before getting put on the truck and delivered to dealership. Im in long island ny so im hoping it will be quick.

Mine went super fast into, through production, onto a boat and in my opinion across the Atlantic and through to CA. It’s been at the VDC now for a week in Oxnard and it feels like an eternity. Was wondering if the carbon package is installed in EU or at VDC. If the latter, could be there a while. Cant wait any longer. Let’s gooo

The VDC also repairs minor shipping damage

Just checked the online tracker and my just changed to “in-transit” now just gotta wait till BMW Genius opens up today and call them to find out the vessel info.

FYI for anyone wondering how long it’s been “at the port” - 13 days

Same.

I'm assuming it's on one of these two.

It’s due to arrive in Baltimore April 12th.

This is what I've assumed as in the information is behind once it leaves the factory as you just saw on the website that it was in transit but the genius actually said it left a few days ago. That is encouraging that stuff is moving were just not able to see it on the tracker right away.

Mine still is at dispatched from factory since the 1st so hoping for some luck and it's doing more than that, maybe even already on a boat?

I would say that every step on the online tracker is pretty accurate except for the last 2 steps - “in-transit” and “at dealership.”
That’s my takeaway from the experience so far.
