Thankful for this forum, all the great info, and people who made the 5 month wait bearable and boy I learnt so much about ships lol!

Congrats - great pictures. looks like beautiful weather before the Sunday storm.

And thanks for the encouragement. Now let’s start a petition so we don’t have to have front plates. 😎

Thanks man! Good eye btw, but those Titan7s aren’t BMW fitment
I would really like the same wheels on the M2 but going to keep the OEM for a while.

Dude that WRX looks dope!

They have a 6 SPoke that i know would look so good on the M2 but they were out of stock and wouldnt return my emails when i reached out


Also it looks like the Grand Champion may move out tonight Tugs are moving ships in front of it now.. Lets hope we get out of there soon tonight

Bit of an update in the interest of documenting things that may be useful for future member orders.

Given that my M2 has been stuck at the New Jersey VPC with an open work order for over 3 weeks with no progress or details, I finally managed to escalate and create a case with BMW NA. I did that by pushing the BMW Genius to escalate to a supervisor. In any event, immediately got the email below, hopefully they will come back with at least an answer for what is holding up delivery.


"....As a follow-up to your conversation with BMW of North America, LLC, this email is to notify you that your case has been forwarded to our case management team. You can expect a call from a Case Management Specialist in approximately one to five business days...."

Happy M2 driving, to all who have received their cars.

free my man baron!!! i feel for you dude. i'd be losing my shit. crazy that i will likely have my run in service done before you see your car and we were on the same ship over...

Would love to hear the outcome myself. I was also almost a month at the VPC, but alignment sheet definitely doesn't account for all of it. My hunch was waiting for other cars to transport, but I didn't follow up.

This is depressing to hear Baron! If there's damage, that must be reported to the dealership if it's over a certain threshold, like $3k or something. I wonder if there's a parts sourcing issue at the port for whatever is not working, and takes time to have one shipped in? Imagine if it's waiting for a part shipped from Altamira again 🤯

Dude I'm so sorry...though I can't help but notice the irony that you are the thread starter.

Anyway - I am really sorry and wish there was anything any of us could do. We are all well aware of the shit show that has been BMW logistics for this window in time so I'm not sure this is THAT surprising. Hopefully you get some answers very soon!

So far this is the outcome. Today (18 hrs after escalation) I got phone messages from my CA and BMW NA that some higher up person named Sam said my car will be “released to my dealer by the weekend” - whatever that means.

So the escalation produced some action, but I think it’s just someone from BMW NA saying to the VPC “make sure this is done this week”. Not sure it will actually happen. I’ll keep you posted.


*** Thanks everyone for the supportive and kind words. The saga continues 😎

Damnit, tell them to hurry up. It's like waiting until everyone at the diner table has their food before you can dig in!

Mine just turned to “arrived at dealership” today!

[M2-Bob]

Snagged my new ride last Tuesday at the PCD — it was worth the anticipation! The Performance Center Delivery was a blast. Got to unleash the M2, and let me tell you, it's a beast. After some fun, I wrapped my car with XPEL Tracwrap and embarked on a 600-mile joyride to NJ. Surprisingly, everything has exceeded my expectations. Had a few worries from forum chatter, but turns out they were just rumors. Only downside? The gas tank size. Still have more break-in miles to complete but looking forward to letting her rip. But sadly I am dropping her off for PPF, tint, and ceramic coating today. Which means more waiting....

Congrats. Looks awesome.

Little update on my, now nearly 3 months old, M2.

After 24 days (18 working days to be fair) at the NJ VPD, the HAS work order completed on the 15th and it was released to the carrier on the 15th. Genius and dealer have no other info, other than should arrive soon.

The status on the site still says at the port, so did not flip to In Transit yet.

With my luck it will arrive right after we depart for our Xmas trip (less than 72 hrs from now).

But at least it is out of the VPC hold.

The other M2 in the group waiting for HAS install has also been released/delivered.

So, I'll probably the only pending M2 in the group. Lucky me

Finally took delivery at PCD yesterday. Amazing experience. These cars are track weapons. Loving it! Some cool pics for you perusal.

good luck to those who have not yet received their car.

Congrats. Great pictures.

Looks like we may see a fair number of G87s on track in the near future. That is not something we saw with the F87 generation.
