Not sure how true it is. Several vehicles built late march are in US and people are working with their dealers to take delivery next week.

I am fully aware. It's been quite frustrating.

I've been seeing Week 4, 5, 6, 7 and beyond delivered through the same port that my car is coming through (Galveston). I'm happy for them, but it's been quite frustrating for me.

Hope you make some progress soon.

My car status flipped to "In Transit" today. BMW Genius confirmed that the car in on Victoria Highway scheduled to reach Galveston on June 3.

Believe I'm the "last man standing" from Week 4.

A couple of days ago, there were five RORO carriers docked at Bremerhaven. Each of those behemoths can carry 5k+ cars, so I have a hard time believing it should take them very long to work off that backlog.

I'm probably the last person with a week 4 build to get my car. Just arrived at the dealership today! Won the tire lottery too!
