So my build just went from Order Received to Scheduled for Production but no date or VIN yet.

[rons e92]

My car has been at the port of Newark since 11/10. Was originally scheduled to get on a truck 11/18. That didn't happen.

Called genius today, no eta on when my car is getting shipped to the dealer.

This is definitely the worst part of the wait.

have any of y'alls boats not gone where it says its going on boat trackers?
According to this its going to Philadelphia but the genius line says its going to brunswick first?

I would lean towards the boat tracker being right just wondering if anyone has had an experience where that was not the case.

This had been stressing me out all weekend. I’m going through the same thing. I will call Genius tomorrow morning to see what’s going on.

Genius was correct about the date the ship was supposed to arrive, but they only told me the first stop and mine. They didn't tell me any of the in between stops and I didn't think to ask.

The ship still arrived a day ahead of schedule on 11/10. Car is still at the port.

Finally got my first BMW, M240ix Skyscraper Grey last Wednesday. A 75 day wait. I feel for you guys. The daily tracking, through production, boat, VDC and then delivery was quite the experience. The day you walk in that showroom and see your custom spec beauty makes it all worth it. Your about there.

Just called genius and they had no update and just told me it still shows that it was supposed to arrive in Brunswick yesterday. She did say her system wasn’t cooperating and told me to call back tomorrow. Maybe im not even in the Glovis spirit?

[gondolafanclub]

That's what I was thinking and hoping for lol crazy how they don't know exactly what's going on

[CRUISE9153]

I wanted to provide this info for those that might go through this step at the VDC in Baltimore. My car was released to Accelerated Services to transport car to dealership. After waiting 2 days after release, I somehow got the phone number to the head of logistics and transport. I gave him the spill of the long wait, etc. Next day a driver had been assigned and car arrived 2 days after that at dealership. Here's the contact information if needed.

AcceleratedServices P.J. - 410-513-4318
I talked and texted with him.

Whoa whoa whoa....what is status 112? What does that mean?

I just got an email from my SA. He said a client back out of his order and is currently in status 112. Production is for 2nd week of January but there is a chance it can go into production in December. He already has my build and wanted to know if I want it. I told him "YES".

He said he will move quickly to get my Twilight Purple in for this order.

It's happening...my first BMW and I get to spec it the way I want...YAY!!!

Bad news for anyone at the Newark VPC.

I got an update from my CA this morning.

If you have port accessories, be prepared to wait a bit longer. They got super backed up and are not processing cars with port accessories currently.

112 is scheduled for production.
Mine hit that on Friday and today I hit the next step of Production Begins!

Sales advisor said it’ll take about 6 weeks but could receive it around Christmas if I’m lucky!

Java Green here I come!

Tomorrow is pick up day.
Ordered mid-Aug 2024.
Excited.

Be cautiously optimistic.

My car completed production 10/3 and I still don't have it. It's here at the port, but no one has any idea when it's getting out of there. Car was ordered 8/24 (111) and got scheduled for production 9/10 (112).

Do you have any port installed parts happening? Those probably aren’t adding that much time so it’s crazy you’re waiting so long.

I’m in no rush, as long as rates keep going down I’ll wait another month or two and just keep ordering parts in the meantime haha.

I have 9 port installed accessories.

According to my CA, the port is backed up with campaign cars and they aren't processing cars with port accessories. He said they'd start next week, but I'm not holding my breath.

Who knows when this thing will show up at the dealer.

This time around has not been anywhere near as smooth as the process went in 2022. Genius is clueless, my CA is exceptional, but he isn't able to get much information either.

The system just doesn't show much other than it was scheduled to go on a truck on 11/18 and it never got on that truck because the guys who work at the VPC never touched my car. Can't ship it if the parts weren't installed, and they parts are all in stock, so someone just made the decision to not work on my car for two weeks, likely because they're lazy and didn't want to deal with the car that had 9 accessories.

Yesterday he gets word they're only processing campaign cars, so it sat there for over two weeks with no one doing anything.

My CA said to expect delivery in December. Really sucks considering my car completed production on 10/3.

Yeah that’s crazy.
I thought about adding the suspension but might be easier and quicker for me to just do it after I receive the car.

Hopefully you get your car soon and we don’t get them at the same time!

Guess I can’t really complain that the tracker still hasn’t updated to show my color and that the app gives me an error when I try to add the VIN.

I’m sure once you get the car you’ll mostly forget about the long wait.
