Me, I'm planning on a nice Christmas present. Won't complain if sooner.

Good info. Now I know not to hold my breath for this stage of the game.

I read earlier in this thread that BMW needs to wait for the room on a ship. So since you guys have already been waiting for a few weeks , this might be good timing for myself.

Waiting on mine too. Getting same response from the genius. My car was completed on 10/3. Just looked up and vehicle cargo ship TOSCANA left VERACRUZ to Galveston.
ATD: 2023-10-27 00:23 LT (UTC -5)
ETA: 2023-10-28 06:00 LT (UTC -5)

Hoping mine is on this since I live in Dallas.

FWIW my car was stuck in ready for transport for around 3 weeks and then moved to “in transit”. West coast delivery.

Just went in today and ordered a M240i. It has a tentative build date of week 52. I'll be more optimistic for early January.

[Keith_C]

Just had a call from my dealer, my car will be in his hands on the 9th Nov, will pick it up on the 12th, 5 months after it was built!

Ordered mine from D’Iberville about an hour away 😅 week 43 build. by the sounds of this looks like I won’t be getting mine until January

Lady from Genius said now it takes 6-8 weeks for cars to get on a ship, and that order status going backwards(e.g. ready for transport to final assembly) is an indicator that ship info is ready to be given if we call. Never heard of this till now but FYI!

Think I talked to the same person today - got the same info verbatim.

Interesting how different folks, looking at the same data, guess differently (2-3 weeks, 6-8 weeks, at the plant, at the port holding area, etc).

So no one really knows in any specific case.

I spoke with a genius on the phone this morning. They told me that the ship arrived at the port in Oxnard CA on 10/27 and that going backwards is normal.

This was after putting down a deposit on 10/17 when it was at "ready for transport", then the tracker went to "In Transit" on 10/20 and finally flipped back to "At the Port" on 10/27.
Expected date for the vehicle to leave the port is 11/2 according to the genius.

I think it's going to vary a lot by which ship your vehicle gets assigned to, and that varies by which port it would be delivered to. From what I've seen earlier in this thread there's a port on the gulf coast (texas somewhere?) as well as some along the east coast of the US. And then Europe would likely be a different boat/carrier and timeline as well.

That’s awesome Congratulations ! I just ordered a RWD, had a 22 awd but sold it due to being injured and out of work.I missed her so much I had to buy another lol.Hoping the RWD is more engaging to drive .
Thanks.

Both Sebring and Glovis Sky are coming to Brunswick from Altamira. Calling Genius tmr to see if my car is on them.

[Andyw27]

For UK/EUROPEAN buyers the niagara highway is delayed by around 7/10 days, was previously due in around 17/11/2023 so expect maybe around end of the month for next boat

[Houdre]

If I'm very lucky I might get mine on that boat since it's week 46 production.

What status where you at mine went ready for transport on nov 3rd

West coast Florida

[TonyJ718]

It’s moving! Status went through awaiting carrier assignment, at the port, and now in transit. Genius said my car is on board Glovis Sunrise, which left on the 6th and due at Brunswick on the 14th.

[dga240]

9/19 - Order placed, Production Number assigned
9/22 - Production Begins (Production date of 10/5)
10/5 - Assembly begins to Final Assembly
10/6 - Ready for Shipment
11/7 - At The Port followed by In Transit

I'm told she is loaded on the Glovis Sunrise, scheduled to unload in NJ on the 19th.

We don't get any status info here. I only got info that I got an allocation and the week it's going to be build (next week from now).

Probably they'll notify me when the car gets to Germany.

[elbort]

I spoke to my dealer today and he told me that my car is in Germany waiting for the ship to come to Spain, delivery scheduled for the last week of November or the first week of December, so I am looking forward to the end of the month!

[AlexC2er]

I was told week 45 build but mine has been stuck at production begins since 10/27. How is the car supposed to be done this week when nothing started?

You be surprised mine said in “production begins” for two week prior to my production week 44.
When doing the f12 trick it showed a production date of 10/31 and sure enough it went to ready for transport on 11/1 now just waiting for a ship according to the genius it should be assigned to a carrier shortly but by looking at some of the wait times that can be weeks before that happens

If the timeline is to be believed you should be have a production date of some time this week early next week

Production only takes a day or two

Mine must be on the same ship.
