Me too! But mine was 11/12 so I’m a bit disappointed that it Took this long. Hopefully it means I’m getting on a ship or on a ship.

I'm also finally seeing some movement. I went into RFT back on 11/13 (or 11/12).

This morning I was still RFT. Just checked now and I'm at "In Transit"!

I'm hoping a lot of you other folks see the same thing happen over the next day or two.

I'm so pumped. Just emailed the customer service folks to see if they can give me info on where the car currently is/what ship it may be on.

God I hope no one went for port installed options. My cars been at the VPC since 12/7/2023 and installing the "M Performance" steering wheel has my car stuck there apparently.

I. am. losing. my. mind.

You got me nervous because I optioned Adaptive M Sport Suspension on my 330i and I was pretty sure this was installed at the factory. So after spending an hour doing research last night searching the web it looks like I am safe. I know a bunch of people who ordered M2's with HAS get that installed at the port so this did make me question if this was port installed. If anyone knows for sure about 3 Series Adaptive suspension please let me know.

I'm one of those M2's with the "to be port installed" MP HAS on the Grand Champion headed to Baltimore. I'm not expecting to take delivery until January at this point as I'm near Chicago.

[Ransom]

Genius said expected arrival in Baltimore is 12/17 - dealer is roughly a 1-hour drive from the port.

What's the likelihood of the car arriving at the dealer ready for pickup before 12/23?

Headed off to vacation that day and won't be back until January so hoping I can snag delivery before then!

I would say pretty good shot. Based on the people who took delivery on the last go round if no port installed options they were getting from the port to the dealer in 1 - 5 days in general.

adaptive M suspension i believe is installed at the factory, due to all of the electronics. port installed options are normally the lowering springs, m performance spoilers, and carbon bits.

According to marinetraffic grand champion is due at brunswick 12/15 1am.

I'm in the same boat (literally and figuratively). I was week 48 production and had it confirmed by Genius that I'm on the Grand Champion. I am also getting port installed MP HAS and in the Midwest (St. Louis). I was originally told to expect a Feb/March delivery, but it looks like we may be getting them sooner!

Hopefully that is the case. Fingers crossed for both of us and others in transit.

LETS GOOOO
