I'm in Chicago area and my car got to the dealership this morning. Unfortunately it is my sales guy's day off so I have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up! Hopefully there will be less snow by tomorrow though

Port of arrival: 12/16 Baltimore

Looks like we are on the same boat 😄

Check with BMW genius on the boat . It should be grand champion. I just hope it reaches the dealership before Christmas

The car looks beautiful. How long did it take to get from Baltimore to Chicago ?

It looks like it took about 30 hours. It left Baltimore early am Monday and was at the dealer mid morning Tuesday. I’m so glad I went red, it looks awesome in the flesh

Same boat, still at port. Their claim is I have been assigned a transporter

I’m week 43 but posting here since it looks like most of you have your cars already and can answer this best-

My car leaves Brunswick Thurs. to head to my dealer and is estimated to be ready early next week. This is my first time buying a car from this dealer. With that being said, did any of you have trades for your cars, and did they allow you to get a quote that was valid until your car came in? I feel like it wouldn’t be too crazy to have a trade value set for a week out.. Not like values will fluctuate that much within that time frame…

Also, did you have to arrange financing once the car arrived, or was anyone able to get all of that sorted beforehand so that when the car arrived it was get the keys and drive off?

I really want to make the pickup seamless and take care of all the crappy stuff now.

I was back and forth on the trade in but ended up selling my previous car before I traded it in for what I believe (based on quotes) was more than enough to compensate for tax benefit. I had financing locked in before I went but wasn't positive about the amount down I wanted, I was playing with numbers myself on an online calculator and using the OTD price they gave me.

When I went they tried to sell me some warranties (which I declined but thats up to you), signed some financing paper work, gave them a check and drove off.

Not sure why I’m still “at the port” having been on Glovis Sunrise and dealer in NY. Others on same ship were delivered to same dealer already… Hopefully they’re not having to fix something.

I'm in MA, but in the same position as you. But if they were fixing something, your CA would know. I had the same question, this forum informed me and I was able to check with my CA to confirm. I think we're just unlucky.

My dealer is only like 60 miles from the NJ Port/VPC, and my car is also just sitting there with no target transport date.

I know the sales mgr is pushing for an end of month (tomorrow) delivery, but I have zero confidence it will happen.

Ugh I feel for you bud. I hoped that my port delay was an anomaly.

I hope you get your car soon.

Genius asked me to reach out to CA because they saw that my car has a work order on it. I have no port-installed options and this means it is either a damage repair or something else. My CA has become unresponsive/ lazy. So I just called the dealer today and they said that they will reach out to me as soon as they find out anything. Like many of you, I now have zero confidence in anything as of now. Such a bummer

Thanks everyone. I’m just sharing so those still waiting for cars know they (we) are not alone.

My CA was promoted to a Sales Manager, so a few days back they assigned me a new hire as my new CA.

Communications have been more sketchy since.

In the end, all of us should have our cars and all the wait will be forgotten.

Common BMW let’s go.

Never Forget! Sept 2023 - Dec 2023 will live on in infamy. Happy to be a part of this dumpster fire with all of you, that BMW calls "Logisitics"

My wife keeps telling me this has the makings of a movie.

Every B-movie horror script has the hot babe and the likes. Key is to find out if she makes it in the end 😎

So far my movie has geniuses that are neither smart nor wish-granting, zero babes, ghost ships and zero car.

I think it can only go up from here.

Sorry that you’re having to wait that long. I think I got lucky because between the 2 dealers in my state, they had about 15 cars showing in transit that probably came off the sunrise so they probably just loaded them on 1 truck for efficiency. They should have been able to make a drop in Massachusetts on the way here to New Hampshire

I got a text it’s arriving at the dealer tmrw and planned for Tuesday previously 😫 If I had another vehicle I would’ve tried to sell it myself but it looks like i’ll be trading it or giving it to carmax lol. Financing is another mess to deal with but hopefully I’ll get a better rate than I was quoted.
