It is so nice for the people from US to have so much information about delivery.
I am 56 days after production and I have no idea if my car is still in Mexico or on the dealers parking place.

Interesting how the world is so big.. yet can be so small.. Yep plenty of fuel options in the area. At this point I'm still only dreaming of what mods to consider 😂

Now time to start hitting the road and diving into iDrive 8!

Congrats. Noticed the San Raf dealer. Love that area, some great driving roads around Mt. Tamalpais.

Lived in Marin County for many years. Really miss the area, not the Cost of Living!

Welp, here's an update on the Silver Ray, which up until late this morning looked like it was still headed to Veracruz...for anyone looking for it to stop there to pick up their car, for whatever reason it has been rerouted to Jacksonville. Never even made it to Veracruz.

I've seen that happen before and it was a mistake. The satellite date is almost a day old at this point so we are unsure where exactly it's headed until there's an update.

Good news is that the Glovis Symphony skipped Freeport and seems to be heading to Mexico right now.

It skipped Freeport? The only thing I see is that it just hasn't made it there yet and is still scheduled to arrive there on 11/20. Do you have link to what you're looking at?

The same sites I mentioned previously show a map of where the ships are last reported. Symphony is west of Florida at this point so it seems it never stopped at Freeport.

Mines gone through customs at Southampton (UK), so all that's left now is a simple 4hr road transporter trip to my dealer, PDI, and then….. IT'S ALL MINE!

FYI - As suspected, Silver Ray should still be on its way to Veracruz. My special sources (free trial for a satellite upgrade) show it's right outside the port.

Man I hope so. I can't find anything at all confirming that. But I also don't have satellite data lol

It was right outside Veracruz and turned around heading to Florida

The Tarifa is docked at Veracruz and seems to be heading up to NY after panama. Not sure if they transport for BMW though.

I was in Status 112 sometime around end of September - similar to you.
I didn't check too often, as this was one of those "not urgent" purchases, so timeline my be weeks off.
Did talk to my SA this week and apparently car may be in Toronto in a few days. Coming from Halifax.
As for train - I heard that before. Apparently some may be sent by train. I don't think it would be much slower than boat+train from Halifax.
My wife's Polestar took a few weeks to come via train from Vancouver to Toronto, earlier this month.

Well - got a nice surprise today
Took my old car in for a trade-appraisal, and my new one just arrived.
I think I'm pretty close to record speed delivery.
- Ordered August 30 (or thereabouts) on a "real" October allocation.
- Delivery next week.
Happy camper!

Sigh. Mine made it to Brunswick on 11/6. Was scheduled to hit the dealer on 11/11. Been delayed until 11/28. CA been no help. Will try Genius again tomorrow.

[DriftKing860]

Wheazy....Brunswick NJ?

[MrPickles]

It took almost all day and night to get over the last hump, but it's finally done!

Brunswick, GA. Honestly the car is for my wife and she is absolutely at her wits end and is debating whether she still wants it....
Brief Timeline:
6/6 -got in line for an allocation - Was told 3 months tops to receive the car
9/6 got the allocation
10/17 - Finished production
11/6 - At port - Been in Limbo since.

I feel the car was damaged in shipping, but as I mentioned earlier.....CA has been no help and been less than communicative through the whole process.

Frustrated for her.

Monogram had the same time line. He had damage and was delayed 2 weeks.

I had my pickup scheduled today from the dealer and just got a call about the software needing an update before they can sell it. I thought all of this was fixed a couple months back? Anyone have any insight?

Ok, this is it...all the marbles...make or break...now or never...do or die...it's official, the Wallenius Wilhelmsen owned vehicle carrier Toledo is headed to Veracruz, scheduled to arrive November 24th/25th-ish. It's gonna load up some cars and then it's scheduled for:

- Galveston, TX November 28th/29th (to drop off cars)
- Altamira, MX December 1st/2nd (to load up cars)
- Brunswick, GA December 6th/7th (to drop off cars)
- Baltimore, MD December 8th/9th (to drop off cars)
- I can't find any further destinations after this but that doesn't mean it isn't going somewhere else after Baltimore

With all that said, these dates and destinations are subject to change. I was tracking a ship to Veracruz last week and it got rerouted away before it ever made it there. This is also not to say that it's the only upcoming ship that will travel from Veracruz up the U.S. East coast. Ships are popping up all the time, but this definitely seems like the next best chance right now. Good luck to everyone. Here's hoping all of our cars make it on.

Bon Voyage Toledo!
