Looks like RCC Africa is chilling in the ocean for a day, then headed back to Brunswick. Here we go again..

Ugh! Why? And why go to Brunswick in the first place when it's only an hour north of Jacksonville (its previous stop) on Interstate 95? At this rate, I doubt it will make NJ by the 16th.

There is so much about this that I don't understand.

I signed up for a week trial of premium service on Marine Traffic. RCC Africa is moving towards Baltimore I think. Premium gives you sat location within the last few minutes. It is not going back to Brunswick but the destination hasn't updated yet.

I say it's headed to Baltimore because I was told ETA in Baltimore in 5/13. I think it's still on schedule as of now.

thats a very nice update indeed, congrats! so by maximum end of June you will get yours delivered I believe, even maybe sooner and now 100% seems it will be a 2022 model

LOL. I thought the same thing. I think so much of it is how that data gets uploaded to the "free" shipping sites. Genius told me on May 1, that it would be in Brunswick on the 10th. I would have bet $100 that it wouldn't, but somehow it did, lol.

I got an email from the dealer yesterday that is was in the VPC, about 2 hrs after the boat docked.

Well, just when you think you're making progress..
Looks like mine sits in this spot until a ship picks up more than 2 weeks
from now.. hoping it will be LESS than 6 mos order to arrival

1/26 Allocation/order placed
2/3 Schedule for Production
4/12 Production begins
4/26 Assembly/Quality Check
4/27 Final Assembly

Genius told me today May 17th is estimated arrival at dealer. It has been released to carrier but still sitting at VPC and technically has not been released from VPC yet. It got off at port yesterday 5/10. Order: 2/4 or 2/7 .. one of them.

Update: called BMW Genius and my car is on the Silver Ray which departed Veracruz on the 8th. Arrival to Brunswick on the 16th.

Genius confirmed that my car is on the Silver Ray as well. Baltimore ETA 5/19.

[SpaceGhost]

Hopefully we'll both get to take delivery soon.
Might be better for me to wait though. My M340 was t-boned in a parking lot and has $17k in damages. I doubt they will take it in trade now. Lease is up in August so could end up with 2 car payments for a couple months.

Maybe we’ll both be on the next ship? Looks like we’ll be at BMW of SA picking up at the same time!

[Mark3380]

Current location update for everyone watching this ship. Looks like it's bound for Baltimore early 5/13 although the destination is still stuck on Brunswick.

[Zyvin]

I'm "at the dealership". So, arrived in Brunswick/VPC on the 10th, at the dealership today the 12th. For anyone looking for that info, it seems it was just a day in VPC status.

Hey everyone, I just bailed on my car that arrived this week so it's up for grabs to whoever is interested. It's at Competition BMW in Eastern Long Island NY.

PB exterior with shadowline, black leather + gloss black interior. Premium+Parking packages, drive recorder, HK audio, illuminated M trim, remote start.

Wheels are black 791M's but I made the mistake choosing all season runflats.

Mine is on that boat, and BMW Garage Online says "At The Port" since the 10th. Hopefully it's at the VPC getting the CF add-ons installed. Was hoping for delivery next week.

Tempting. I'm like an 1hr 1/2 away. My build week is 23 so I'll hold off and I'd it gets delayed again I'll look around more. Not sure blue is for me too.

That I was. I made an extremely personal and impulsive decision not to buy the car. Been going through a lot of rough spots at work coincidentally starting during the nearing of the car's delivery date.

Best of luck to you and yours. I can only imagine how you feel after waiting for the car to make this decision, but things will work out for the best in the long run 💪

A lot of us with M240 builds were kicked back from Scheduled for Production to Order Received. No one has heard anything yet, but I'm assuming it's going to happen to us as well.

Apparently BMW is making some kind of announcement tomorrow? There is a lot of speculation that they ran out of iDrive 7 screens and are planning to fully switch to iDrive 8. But again no one knows for sure just yet.

[MPR]

That would be a bummer, may consider backing out of my order if this is the case

But saler he told me it push to 2023. What u gonna do if they will tell u that ? Im very confused now. If i cancle and few weeks later it gonna start for u guys, it would be more nightmare for me. And i dont know if i decided to wait, how long would it take ? (Im still watting until he sent me that email, omg) Because i dont have car now, that's very annoyed
