@Fredward Thanks for the info. Do you know which port BMW uses to import new cars into NY/NJ/PA? My guess would be Elizabeth, NJ.

Been sitting in "ready for transport" for a couple weeks, anyone in a similar boat?

Newark NJ for NY/NJ and New England area. For PA they stop in Philadelphia.

Have you called genius to see if you’ve made it onto a boat?

I was updated to "Ready for Transport" on 4/20. Hoping it catches the next available ship. It wouldn't be cool if it sat there for a week..

apparently i'm not picking my car up today... it seems the greatest challenge in the world is getting my registration and plates back... so now the earliest (without a miracle) i'll be getting my car is next week.... i know for those who are waiting for a boat etc that my annoyance seems dumb.. but when you've paid for and insured the car and it's just sitting on a lot waiting for you.. it's hella annoying


something i learned in this process, and the dealer told me .. so take it with a grain of salt.. BMW makes dealers agree to not let customers register their own car/CoO..

Man that’s annoying as hell, I’ve never dealt with anything like that with Tulley. I’ve been doing leases through them though, so I’m not sure how that process differs from a purchase.

if you are a NH resident i believe you can have temporary paper plates.. MA doesn't do them.. so it's not really their issue (it's still annoying)... Most MA car dealers are really like mini RMVs and can give permanent plates on the spot.

if i had traded a car in.. this wouldn't have been an issue.. so basically i did this by going out of state, and not trading in.. but still.. the transaction to get a plate is like 15 minutes.. no need for it to take days..

I see, that makes sense. I didn’t realize MA doesn’t do paper plates like us.

Mine is still at port in Newark. There are just frustrating delays everywhere for everything. We are truly in the Age of Shoddy.

BrawnyCh beamer-dreamer stand strong Gents! The waiting is almost over!

Just picked up my 230 from the BMW of Brooklyn, and I'm telling you, it's was worth waiting for it since 01/17/2022

To all enthusiasts who are waiting at the port in MX - I know how hard is to stay patient at this moment, but you all are almost made it as well!

Happy Friday to all of ya!

[beamer-dreamer]

looks sharp! polakai

[binarycars]

Mine just went from at the port to in transit as well! I guess we're all on the same boat. Can't wait!

Looks like San Diego arrival April 25

If it's in MX and I'm in Minnesota would it even need to be on a boat

As far as I know bmw does not send vehicles by train or truck from Mexico. They send them all by boat and then once in the US by truck to the final destination.

[emcee1011]

Curious, does anyone know if the standard NE route is Baltimore AFTER Philly? Sallaum's website states that it hits Baltimore after PA but that doesn't make sense to me if NJ is the next stop.

Right now the Glovis Sun is headed to Philly from Jax, ETA 4/25.
