Build Weeks 43-47 Emotional Support and Tracking

Myfirst3Series · 12-07-2023, 12:00 PM

I am hoping once we get out of Mexico this time things speed up a bit and we take deliveries last few weeks of December. My CA still thinks I will take delivery by Dec 21 but I think it will be the next week especially with this latest delay getting back into port.

ecerrini · 12-07-2023, 12:06 PM

Correct me if I’m wrong but, Christmas delivery seems less realistic by the minute for us Grand Champion guys. Bummer.

Bearded-Driver · 12-07-2023, 12:34 PM

i called again and they keep acting like im the only one calling about this ship and dont believe me it went to tampa first then came back... They wont even ask me to do a survey anymore lol

they dont know.. thats the end of it all they can tell me is that its still on schedule for 12/16 at baltimore.. nothing we can do but wait longer.. this process is complete ass

Myfirst3Series · 12-07-2023, 01:53 PM

Well I was holding out hope that we would port today but apparently we are going to just sit outside of port for a while and then wait again once we get to port again, this is absolutely ridiculous!

ecerrini · 12-07-2023, 02:09 PM

Why the hell would they load us on a ship like this! Glovis Cougar and Arc Integrity are both going to be on their way before us!

mtenhoven · 12-07-2023, 02:34 PM

Tugs are moving the Arc Integrity. Hopefully this makes room for the Grand Champion to dock. If that's the reason why she's anchored outside of the port.

mtenhoven · 12-07-2023, 03:33 PM

Grand Champion has raised anchor and is moving again.

It looks like she could be getting into position to go into port. We are still on schedule so far..

Bearded-Driver · 12-07-2023, 05:39 PM

We are going back in to Altamira PORT right now and no longer at Anchor.. so thats some good progress. lets hope we are out of there ASAP like tomorrow. i really hope we dont sit at port long

Tugs are moving her into final mooring position.

Looks to be the same slot previously occupied by Arc Integrity.

I love the excitement! My M2 has been siting in RFT sine 11/27. Most likely it will also be loaded on this round but somehow I don't feel the excitement . Maybe because I was expecting car in the spring after Chicago winter is gone, or maybe because I pursue delayed gratification

. Either way good luck everyone... its fun to follow this thread.

Mine is also in ready to transit (165).

BMW Genius today said "Our records indicate that your vehicle is currently "In Transit" to the port of departure..."

They said this stage can "take some time" and to check back on 12/29 for new info.

Honestly with the way BMW wants to make sales before the end of the year i wouldnt be shocked if they are able to get a lot of cars moving. There are several Auto carriers down there at both Veracruz and Altamira.

Maybe you guys who were RFT with in the past 2-3 weeks or so may be on a ship with in this week.

Remember you can be on a ship for like 2-3 days before they will even get updated.

some of us have been on a ship since 11/26 lol still "in transit"

your cars are probably sitting at the port of departure RFT is a blackhole status for a long while no one will know much about it until you are loaded on a ship.

alot of us didnt know we were on a ship until 2 days after the fact lol. they be slow and its very frustrating as all hell

DutchBoysRacing · 12-08-2023, 06:34 PM

My m2 is at the VPC in Oxnard CA, should be released on Sunday to be shipped!

11/31 iirc.

AlexC2er · 12-08-2023, 11:14 PM

Been RFT since 11/12. I’m almost sure that my car is going to be on the grand champion but not seeing the tracker update is making me insane. I’ll email the genius on Monday when they start working and hopefully they’ll tell be that my car got on the ship.

RFT since 11/16. Same message from BMW Genius. "In Transit" and not received at port yet (after three weeks of RFT). And they have no idea when it will get to the port of departure. Told me to check back in two weeks.
