According to the 'other' waiting thread, several folks who were at RfT/Step 10 moved to steps in the 190s today. Most appear to have been stuck in Step 10 since mid-January on the myBMW app/website.

That's a good sign for those of us still showing as being in Step 10. Cars ahead of us are moving onto boats in a timely fashion.

I'll be at my dealer Friday morning for some maintenance to my current whip; gonna ask my SA for an internal-system update on my M2. Maybe I'll even get the name of a boat ... we shall see.

Mine went to status code 195 this morning. Does that mean it's on a boat or about to get on a boat. Genius said it's waiting at the port but the f12 tricked show me status 195. Hoping Genius is wrong and it's finally on the way.

I wish I could give you a definitive answer, generally speaking.. BMW Genius has all of the answers before the website and app.. the terminal's dont get updated too often (what we see on our apps) but internally they need to be updated often.

TBH, I'd call genius back and get a different rep and ask, some know way more than others, they could have an F12 trick of their own internally.

I called and got someone that didn't know anything.

Called back, got a super nice lady that was able to tell me the ship and anything I needed to know without hesitation.

I had one lady say 8 weeks waiting for a boat, 4 weeks on the boat.

Guy yesterday said he's seen 2 week wait times for ships and 1 week transit time roughly.

Had another guy say it was going by train from Mexico, the train that doesn't exist of course.

Just keep calling till you find a truth you like. lol

How many people have gotten more up to date info from talking to an actual human vs what the automated response from the Genius line spits out? So far I’ve found they both tell me the same status (which is a few steps ahead of what the app/website shows). I’m currently at 180.

That’s nuts.
I got the name of the boat from her and was just tracking the route that way. It was really accurate with its arrival date and time and woke up to see it about 15 minutes from port. The tracker took about 5 hours to update that I was in fact at port

I just called again and she said she shows code 193 so the f12 trick is ahead at 195. She was very nice and said that could be true and it takes them 24-48 hours to update. Anyone else have a car coming to the east coast that just was put on a boat?

If you are talking about the boat to the east coast... it takes like 10-14 days depending which port you are in.

the train probably being referred to is the train from the factory to the port for shipping. the trains exist.

I just called and was told car is sitting at the factory waiting for train to the port. it has been waiting in that state for two weeks now. status 160, which is apparently the catch all code for parked after completion.

Can anyone explain the F12 trick? I get it opens up the dev tools but where exactly am I supposed to look?
