As for loading in altimira I’m ok with having another option and will likely spend half my day digging into ships that are making those crossings

Haha I was driving back from the city with my brother on Friday and I wanted to swing by the port myself. Only days now. Can hardly believe it!

Ordered in July and dealer had allocation, status is ready for transport as of last week.

What’s the avg timeline ready for transport to dealer delivery?

[m3ct]

My CA told me my car was released to a trucking company so should be at the dealership soon in CT.

My tracker still says at the port.

9/20 production date
10/13 arrived in NJ port via glovis cardinal

Did either of you have port installed accessories installed?

I am still at the port and have not heard from the CA yet.

Shipping from Altimira would be huge since they have so much ships queued up for the east cost in the coming weeks. I was not able to find a single ship in the 15-30 day window with the New Jersey port on their schedule

No port accessories for me. Going with the kit from auto ID.

Your CA will be able to tell you which port and which ship it was loaded. Genius will also be able to tell you that.

As for it being loaded at Altamira, it is possible but unlikely. The problem is that the Cardinal (and most other ships) stopped at Veracruz and then it stopped at Altamira a few days later. The only way to know for sure, is to ask your CA - they have this on their computer screen. They even have the bill of lading. The My Garage page is slow to update so even if yours was loaded at Veracruz, the ship might have actually been docked at Altamira when your status changed in My Garage giving the impression that it was loaded at Altamira. Those vessels are loading different brands and types of vehicles so it may have loaded fork lifts or Mercedes at Altamira for all we know.

That’s fast! What dealer is it going to? My CA said to expect it end of week (Darien, CT)

It all depends on shipping schedules and when the car gets on a ship. For some people it is a week, for others over a month. Once you are on a ship you are probably looking at like 20 days to delivery depending on port installed accessories and physical location in US.

Anyone else still at status 150 with a week 42 (Oct 19th) production date? I haven't seen any movement since October 5th. Used the F12 trick many times since and still the same production date. 🤔

Don't worry. You should see some movement by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. Hang in there.

I posted before but yeah, Factory HAS kit, CF Diffuser, CF Antenna cover

[Workodactyl]

Reached out to my CA and looks like it will be at the dealership between the 18th and the 21st. Hopefully get it in time for the weekend!

Heer's the schedule for the Glovis Cardinal

Today, I also looked up schedules for every ship on the Brunswick 15 day outlook, and none are going to Veracruz first.

On the bright side, it's looking like all remaining build weeks in this thread (39-42) will get off the "island" together in November.

[two_three_two]

hadn't looked in a few days - status 155 today. maybe delivery by the end of november isnt such a pipe dream after all! 10/16 stated prod date so maybe a day or so behind

I hope that is the worst case scenario. That factory is producing 3,000 cars/week, with about 1/3 of them coming to east coast. 4 weeks of production would be abt 4,000 cars - that is an entire mid-size RoRo ship or 2/3 of a large one.

I hope BMW has reserved that much capacity. The VPCs will be busy for sure with that many cars arriving at once

[k-m2-j442]

So at the beginning of this I was hoping that my car would be here by 11/4 (last track day at njmp, I wasn’t going to drive it but go down and hang out) but it’s looking nearly impossible at this point… darn. Well at least by opening weekend next year I’ll have broken it in (hopefully, won’t be driving it much during the winter) and got some new wheels and tires for some good track days.

[M2GTI]

Week 41 build is now ready for transport. Let’s see how long it takes to get to Atlanta.
