My 22' M3 took ~2 days to move from dispatched from factory to port. Then ~3 days to move from port to in transit. The whole trip from Bremerhaven to US approx. 15 days. The vessel is right now in Baltimore and my port to disembark my M3 is Brunswick, GA.

Based on the vessel schedule is supposed to be at GA around the 20th. Not sure how long it will take to get clearance when it gets to the port on the 20th.

My car was finished Sept 16. It got to Newark Port in NJ Oct 9. I had the RAM stop sale closed today, Oct 18. Next step is the car carrier.
I'm at 3 months since I initially contacted the dealer.

Hopefully U get it any day now

Scheduled for pick up on Friday. So that will make it 14 days since the boat moored. Honestly would never used "moored" but I've learned a lot about freighters in the past month.

I'm thankful the RAM stop sale and transportation from the port has been this quick. Some good news for everyone in the process.

My car was finished october 1. Got to the port the following tuesday. Shipped out of bremerhaven october 11/12. According to my SA, it's on the ship with an ETA to NJ this friday october 22.

I do have a RAM stop sale. I don't expect it to be resolved right away. I'll give it 2 weeks comparing it to others. I expect to drive the car home by thanksgiving.

Did you have an allocation right away, or did you have to wait for that?

My car is going to be at Port of Baltimore on the 22nd and I live in Virginia and I have the RAM stop sale also. I was thinking by Thanksgiving also and I did not see any other stop sales so I am assuming I missed the major one?

Yeah the engine stop sale is a major one, which probably requires getting an entirely new engine. Maybe they do have spares of those, but the labor time is what's going to be a pain and the most time consuming.

I just hope they gathered parts, if they have any, for at least the RAM stop sale cars and when the ship lands in the states the 22nd, they can get started on them and those cars can be sent to the dealers ASAP.

Good luck everyone! We're in the home stretch!

I got an allocation about 2 weeks after I put my name in at the dealer. They are an M certified dealer, so I believe they have more allocations available than a non M dealer.

Did you use Leith? Mine was completed 10/8 but I have not contacted Genius to see if it made it on one of the Westbound boats that left last week. I am hoping it shows by 11/20.

Mine arrived at Baltimore VPC on the 19th and has the camera and RAM stop sale. Car was originally scheduled to be delivered to the dealer yesterday, it didnt happen and will call the genius today to see if they have an updated date for me.

My car is at the port now in Baltimore so I am waiting to get the retrofit for RAM.
