I really haven't found Bravery Ace picking up BMW cars but I could be mistaken.

Also looks like Glovis Spirit is docking in Georgia port on 7/14

Also into Philly on 7/17

I cant pull up the ny/nj port schedule as the link I found seems to be down.
I could be wrong about the Baltimore stop but according to the above post maybe Philly ?

So even though my tracking still shows as "Ready for Transport", I am holding out a slim hope that it is out of date and I could be unloaded from the Glovis Spirit tonight. I doubt it, but hoping.
Fingers crossed for you brother!

Dealer told me mine arrives at port on 17th July. Says trucking is a nationwide issue right now. I didn't like the sound of that. Still, car is closer to me that it was!

Oh, super-sweet, congrats! In my fav color, too �� I see you elected not to have the dealer wash it. Or any other prep? I'm deciding on that right now.

They do a wash and coating, but salesmen don't seem to know what the coating is. I asked to speak to their detailer, and they said, "Oh, he's detailing cars right now. He doesn't have a phone." Uh-huh, right. LOL. Who doesn't have a phone? So, until I know exactly what they do, and what products they use, I will not let them touch it.
are dealership wash/detail products generally bad?

I think for AP dealer wash is okay. But if it was black or thundernight I would skip the wash/detail for sure. I plan on doing a coating myself which is why I told the dealer to skip the wash and detail.

It's not about the products, it's about the care that would go into it. I am going to request that they roll it off the truck and do not touch it, even leave the plastic on all parts. I will bring it home and give it a careful wash/detail.

I told my dealer the same thing, do not wash or touch the paint for any reason.

I was going to do the same, have them leave the film, but they said they couldn't inspect anything under the film for damage, I would own that risk, so better to have the film removed then try and prove there was damage after I leave the lot.

Yes, they will likely induce swirl marks, they have no business touching paint. There is a reason detail shops exist, I wouldn't have the detail shop fix my engine for the same reason I won't have a dealer touch my paint.

Well, we all hear the horror stories. That's why I'm being cautious. Looks like many others on this thread have seen the same stories, or even experience it themselves.
