On the BMW tracker it goes from at port to in transit when it leaves Germany then back to at port and then in transit when it leaves the arriving port?

Also not sure about when I’ll be doing PPF. Hopefully I get the car in the earlier part of December. Immediately taking the car to get hand controls and after thats done I can get PPF and my parts installed. It will take over a week to get full PPF on the car so I may install all my parts like exhaust, lip, side skirts and suspension then wait till after Christmas and New Years to get PPF done.

Correct. The tracker will show At Port when it hits Bremerhaven, go to In Transit when it has departed Bremerhaven on a ship, go back to At Port when it is unloaded at the destination port, and then once again back to In Transit once it is loaded onto a truck and on the way to the dealership.

BMWRacer523 · 11-22-2021, 10:14 AM

Status changed back to At Port. Hope it can be at dealer by end of week.

I still have a hold; STOP SALE. The car was received at VPC (ATI) today.

The work order has already started. Hopefully, I'll have the car by next week!

That's odd. When did your car arrive there? I am at NJ VPC (as of today) but not showing a Stop Sale.

Today 11/22/21, 12:00:00 AM.

STOP SALE is due to an amplifier. They have already started the work order. At least it's nothing crazy.

BMWRacer523 · 11-22-2021, 02:00 PM

I was just informed by my CA that they should have the vehicle by 11/26.

Congrats, Kish! I'm stuck "in transit". Probably sitting in a lot at Performance Center waiting for the audio amp. I'm probably looking at a January delivery. Serves me right for over complicating my life.

oh no. sorry to hear that Larry. Is it showing an open stop sale?

BMWRacer523 · 11-24-2021, 09:58 AM

In Transit today. Looks on track to be at the dealer on Friday!

Congrats brother. According to the genius mine is supposed to be at the dealership today but it still says at the port. It’s now been there a whole week with no recalls ever. The country obviously needs more truckers.

If it was released to carrier it would say In Transit correct? Are there any stop sales on your car?

It was released to the carrier on Saturday but that doesn’t mean it’s on a truck. No I don’t have any stop sales on my car. It’s my understanding when it gets on the truck then it will switch to in transit. But I don’t know. I just know my dealer and the genius both said it was released to the carrier on Saturday and it was an expected delivery to the dealership today. It’s a 5 hour drive from the port to my dealership so they better get moving if that’s going to come to fruition.
