Orion Highway Tracking 10/31/2022

Greywall · 11-15-2022, 04:22 PM

It's getting pushed into dock by a couple of tug boats now:

We have landing gentlemen! Dealer has already contacted me and says I should have it within 7-10 days and that they will know a closer estimate in the next 72 hours when a carrier is assigned. I sadly didn't beat the snow as our first snowfall of the year was today but I'm hopeful I can get it into the garage before the salt goes down. We are so close!

Wake up this morning to see the boat has moved on... so our cars should already be off and awaiting Customs or if we are really lucky they have already moved onto VPC! After a year of waiting, finding it difficult not to get overly excited even though delivery is still probably about a week away.

Has anyone changed back to At Port yet? Mine still shows in transit. Not sure when in the process that it actually changes status. Hope to see it very soon!

I don't think it changes back to "at port" but I could be wrong. I think the next status is just having it delivered to the dealership. I'm going to call Genius in an hour and see if they can provide any more info in regards to what step I'm currently in (customs, VPC, awaiting carrier assignment, etc).

It moved to the other side of port:

When you look at Google Maps, it shows the BMW VPC building at the arrow. We can assume it's dropping off more cars than just BMWs so it makes multiple stops at different parts of the port.

This is normal from what I know, this thread explains the route it normally goes on. Based on the thread it's there doing Fiat/Crysler cars. https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&postcount=169

That's cool, so it's safe to say that all the BMWs have already been dropped off. The cargo tracking code I got from the dealer shows "Tradepoint Atlantic Sparrows Point" as location of goods under the US Customs section. This is from Kline's tracking website.

Just spoke with Genius, I am already in VPC!!! He shows a current estimated delivery time to the dealership of 11/21... Next Monday!!! Sooooo close!!!

Currently back to At Port as of 9:30 this morning. I have struck US soil! Hope to have it within a week.

Would you look at that, I am to. Looks like it does go back a step when you get to destination port. Thx!

My buddy got an M4 earlier this year and said his did that so I figured ours would too! We’re in the home stretch!

Usually check back to "At port" in 2-3 days and then back to In Transit when its being sent to the dealer

Sparrows point also accommodates VW and Audi and Mercedes is at the Atlantic terminal

Looks like we finally reached the final stop at Baltimore (Dundalk) and should be headed to Brunswick next, finally! To the folks that will be waiting for that port, the gaports website estimates the Orion will arrive on the 20th at 13:00. Although that seems like a long time for it to simply finish unloading at BAL and get over there, so fingers crossed for it to happen sooner!

Congrats. I would appear simple, but it never is. My car was on the Donington and sailed towards Brunswick on 11/6 and was 30 miles outside the port on 11/8 but then turned around and did a 3 days slow crazy sail up and down the atlantic coast to avoid Hurricane Nicole which wasnt even supposed to hit Brunswick on 11/8 !!!. Lost a total of 6 days and everything got delayed

Congrats, I got word from my dealer also! The car is at the VPC with estimated dealer delivery set for 11/20!

Krisp97 · 11-17-2022, 03:17 PM

I am now showing in transit again as of 4:00 this afternoon, should be on the way to the dealer soon!

Good luck everyone up north with cars being delivered. Getting more excited. Ship headed to Brunswick 18.4 knots. Need to keep that thing throttled down!

How long from arrival at port did y'all expect to receive the car?

I was originally told 7-10 days once it reaches the US Port. Mine is going to end up taking about 5 days after hitting the US Port.
