Was stuck at Cuxhaven for a while and made it to Bremerhaven this morning... and parked pretty close to the boat
"At port" was irrelevant for me because it meant Cuxhaven for way too long.

That’s because I’ve been there and done that three times now! Each and every car I’ve ordered showed up no matter how much I pined, griped, moaned or ached for it. One in six weeks, one in nine months, this one five months. When it shows up I then start paying BMW for it and they seem to like that part!! And there’s the key and what most forget; they want you to get your car ASAP$$$$$
Keep hope alive!!

Had all the options I wanted but ended up passing on it because I thought my car would ben on a ship. I guess you win some and you lose some.

If you follow recent patterns you should catch one of the ships leaving this weekend. You and a few others on this thread are damn close, a week at the latest you should be in transit.

Knowing more than a certified "genius" can be both a blessing and a curse.

But yes, if the pattern holds, you should get on a boat soon-ish.

Officially in transit to Baltimore with a 7/8 port delivery (picking up at BMW of Alexandria a few days later).

I've already made an appointment with Speed & Tech for XPEL, low dust pads, Eibach front springs, spacers, Alpha N front splitter, and painted front reflectors. Then a 1,000-mile road trip the week after. Post-break in period soon come

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Only two weeks at port.
As of this morning,"in transit".
The Genius says it's on the Goliath Leader, Port Hueneme bound with a July 28 ETA.
It is ridiculous and unfair that some wait a month at port and others get right on a boat or with less wait time. I have a theory.
Let's say, there is a boat docked at Bremerhaven, and the lots are full of cars waiting to be loaded.
Then a train arrives with more cars. With limited space to store them, they simply go right onto the boat. More cars are pulled from the front of the line, since they are more accessible and the cars at the back who have been there the longest are passed by. The boat is already a day behind schedule and needs to be filled and on its way.
I of course don't know anything at all about global shipping logistics, but it is a theory.
Here's another one. With the impending factory shutdown for the model year change, the outflow of new cars will halt temporarily. Perhaps this will allow the backlog of cars waiting to be shipped to move through.
Here's hoping everyone else gets some good news soon!

Are you getting full XPEL? if so, care to share your price? I'm looking at $8k for full stealth on a G26.

Be nice to even make it to the port Week 24 build and still stuck in dispatched from factory. My question is, where exactly is my car at the moment? Is it sitting on a train? In a waiting lot? I thought even cars who are stored in Krefeld or other waiting lots display as "at the port" in My Garage. So is it possible my car is somewhere other than a waiting lot and a port? How many plausible destinations could that be? It's these kinds of situations you start fearing the worst outcomes...damage, theft, alien abduction etc. Hope is alive, but barely

Just made this Post in the Galveston Channel.

Posting it here to see if there are any patterns.

Just moved back to "In Transit" again. Previously was "In Transit" on June 20th then back to "Port" on the 22nd. Yes...I understand I was not actually at the Port.

I called Genius and she had no information on her end....she said still at port? not even 195 status with no boat(meaning moving around)..maybe its getting moved again? or just slow to update? AKA NOT HELPFUL

Any one else get the 193 bump and have legit boat confirming news?

Can you do the remote 3-D camera and see if there is a nice looking IOMG with silverstone buckets by your car.

How long have you been in that status? You might want to ask a genius or your CA if there are any stop sales on your car.
