It took ~5 days for my car to be shipped on the east coast of Mexico and reach its destination in Baltimore, MD. Not sure of the difference in mileage between your route and what mine was. There was also no other stops between my route.

Anyone with a car from the Glovis Sunlight get the final "In Transit" update yet? Still showing At Port for me.

Expecting to have it before New Year's at least.

Still showing "at port" for me too. When I called the Genius hotline it said it was on the way to the dealership. (12/18) My salesman told me he got an ETA of 12/20 but I really didn't believe his ETA. I was thinking more in the way of 5 to 7 days.

I think on Thurs or Fri last week Genius told me there was a truck/carrier pickup scheduled for 12/21 on mine. I was holding out some minor hope of having it by Christmas but my SA said even if they got it today/Monday it would still take a full day for PDI/inventory intake and they're also closed Christmas Eve and Day.

FWIW, my dealership called and let me know they were running a "three payment" rebate on leases through end of the year and mine would qualify. They make the first payment and then you get a cash (check in this case) rebate for the other two payment amounts. Not sure if this is a BMW corporate incentive/program or specific to my dealer.

I had similar experience. Automated Genius said "in transport on the way to dealership," but the app/my garage still said at the port. So I called Genius and got a person. He told me that the car was handed off to transportation company--that is why the automated Genius said "on the way"--but there was no confirmation that the transport company had left the port--that is why the app said "At the port."

They told me that it was scheduled to leave the port on Friday 12/20, but as of that conversation they did not confirm that it left port. Today is Monday 12/23, and the app still says "at the port." So it seems there has been a delay in (at least) my truck leaving Baltimore.

I flipped from at the port to in transit on Saturday and I am still there as of now but it's only a 3 hour drive. It should arrive at the dealer some time this week but may not be ready until next week

According to the app, my car is at the dealership! My salesman was off today so I wasn't called. Will be headed there on Thursday to take a look.

Congrats.

I'm currently In Transit to what I believe is the dealership. Hopefully before the weekend.

My car arrived at the dealer today so I figured I upload my complete timeline:

Build week was week 45 of 2024:

In-Production - 10/30

Quality Control - 11/13

Final Assembly - 11/20

Ready for Transport - 11/23

In Transit - 12/11

Dropped at Port - 12/18

At The Dealership - 12/26

My 230i order backslid from 112 to 111 with the same order number when a modified build was submitted by my salesperson. Build week, according to him, still shows third week of January but BMW genius will no longer give me a production week. Oh well…

My 230 arrived at Port Hueneme yesterday. CA expects it will arrive at the dealership next week. Here is my timeline so far .

Took delivery of my car last night!

In love with the Portimao Blue paired with the blue contrast stitching/carbon trim.

That's fast. A little over two months from placing the order.

Agree . Fortunate dealer had an allocation for 12/1. Biggest delay so far has been the vehicle just sitting at the Mexico port waiting for a ship .

Picked up the car at noon. Just had to transfer plates, get it inspected and ask service a couple of questions. In and out in about 30- 40 minutes. Car was dirty AF so no pics. Car going in for PPF and ceramic coating next Monday. Will take some pics then.

Happy New Years to all!
