Nope but my guess is Baltimore. I would like it to go to Newark first, then back down to Baltimore on the way out but we'll see late tonight

The RCC Tianjin was in port for like 12 hours so lets hope it's out by midnight.

I was going back and forth with my CA today feeding HIM the info to give to other clients He's a cool guy

He said his system just updated and shows the car left 7/23, shows 25 days of travel to destination port which is Thursday 8/17. It doesn't list what port, but if it ended up being Philly he would send a tow truck to get it. Either way, puts us at the end of this week.

Don't mind me. Mine still sitting in mexico after final assembly on May 30th! I just assume the cartels are using my Vin as a runner car at this point.
Let's keep opening up production facilities in countries that can't match the civilized world yet. So much for any summer events with this thing. Not even excited anymore tbh.

Wow! You can’t get any explanation? My CA was able to contact the plant for status.

Is this info from the web tracker or your CA? Have you asked your CA to run a VIR aka Vehicle Information Report?

The Glovis is saving some decent time, taking a shortcut across Delaware/Chesapeake Canal/Back Creek to get from Philadelphia to Baltimore.

same - had a lot of stuff planned with the car for summer. ill see if its exciting, when it happens. For now, not really super psyched about it - keep thinking I could have bought just about anything else for that much money.

Peanuts… lol My client’s G87 that is with yours was produced on June 20th. We are pushing 2 months and it has still got to get port-installed M performance goodies installed and shipped to the store. BMW has got 17 days to get theirs (husband/wife) to the dealership or they are allegedly bailing out. Tick-tock.

I had been teetering on the edge of bailing on my G42. My car was totaled back in March and my wife has graciously been sharing her car with me since. I was originally told I should expect delivery sometime in June, which I knew then was a pipe dream, but I was not expecting to go without a car the entire summer. Supposedly it arrived in Baltimore this past weekend and is expected in town later this week, early next week, but we'll see. I was pretty clear all along that I needed a car before my kids head back to school, we'll no longer be able to share, but I'd hate to bail on a car I waited 5 months for a few days before it arrives.

If yours arrived in Baltimore last week, it was on the Tianjin. From your location, Baltimore is at least probably your correct port.

Our's (mine and TUD's) still have to be trucked down to Brunswick, Georgia, have their M Performance parts installed, and then trucked to the respective dealerships.

My paperwork says my port of entry is Baltimore so that all checks out. My CA said it would arrive in Baltimore this past weekend. That’s about a 7 hour drive from here (if driven straight through) but I understand it’s not getting on a truck immediately once it arrives in port and it seems the dealer has some work to do once it arrives as well. That is assuming my car actually made it to Baltimore over the weekend. On average it seems like the accuracy of the info being provided by CA’s is iffy. I’m not knocking my CA, he’s been fine, but he’s still a sales guy and they usually over promise and hope for the best.

My dealer seems to think my car will be arriving within a week or so to the dealer, so this would be my ship, but he does not have any ship information and my status code is still at "ready for transport". I guess all I can do is see what happens.

That doesn’t add up. If it’s on a ship your CA would have that info. What makes them think it’s arriving this week? What’s the VIR say?
