My Fire Orange M3 is at port, who else is waiting for a vessel?

frankiebones · 04-28-2021, 08:59 AM

BMW Genius says I'm at the port but no vessel has been assigned as they don't know when the next vessel will arrive.

Anyone else in a similar "boat?"

IronEgg · 04-28-2021, 09:26 AM

Been waiting at the port for 12 days, arrived at port on Apr-17, and still waiting for a ship to east coast.

Dispatched from factory since last week. Hope to join you guys on a boat to east coast.

frankiebones · 04-28-2021, 10:33 AM

We will all be on the same boat it seems.

Almost there bro, excited for you to get your car. I know it's been quite the process so far...

calibro9 · 04-28-2021, 04:50 PM

I'm at port too (since 20th) but going to Galveston.

hamy · 04-28-2021, 07:04 PM

I'm at port too...heading to the Performance Center for delivery in late May? That's optimistic but I'm holding out hope.

Been at port for 2 weeks as of today. Before that it was in transit to the port for 2 weeks. Very frustrating.

Shipping is a disaster right now, I'm in the food manufacturing business and trying to get raw material into this country from abroad is 3-4 x more challenging than it was pretty covid.

Alpha97 · 04-30-2021, 11:20 AM

there's a ship pulling in (docking?) right now

Can't make it out, too blurry when magnified.
Hopefully we all get on this ship and depart for the east coast on Monday.

Can you post whatever pic you have and maybe one of the photoshop guru's can clean it up?

I remember someone saying this might not be where our cars are loaded but who knows, it's something I guess.

I don't think that's going to happen. When PDC contacts you others have said the minimum time to scheduled delivery is 8 weeks, so that will put you well into June if you get on a ship soon.

I'm in the same spot, at port and taking PDC delivery. I'm hoping to get end of June or early July

calibro9 · 04-30-2021, 04:03 PM

I'm in the food business and all my containers from Europe, Asia, and South America are delayed 4-6 weeks. Major shortage of vessels and ports are packed.

frankiebones · 05-03-2021, 09:18 AM

UPDATE: 1 week at port and they still have no idea as to vessel assignment.

Anyone else get a boat?

Do all BMW go through Baltimore for East Coast?

No through NY/NJ for the Northeast. It's by far the largest port on the East Coast.

I see a handful of Bremerhaven to Batlimore ships coming up. Wonder if it's the NY inbound that's delaying people?
