My wait hasn’t been that long but it doesn’t mean I don’t wish my car was here tomorrow lol

I’m still really hopeful we’ll see movement soon.

Yep, Brunswick to south MS. I wonder how long the truck ride is. MarineTraffic is showing Glovis to show up 26th nov at 5:00. It’s just off the south coast of Florida so moving pretty quickly!

I have been RFT on my M340 since 11/6. I am in Indiana, so mine is headed to Baltimore. I heard it could be Sebring, but that boat has been sitting in the same spot south of Veracruz for the last 3 days.

I feel your pain. I that long for my 992, but at least I expected it and I knew where my car was every step of the way. There seems to be some system communication issues (or lack of communication) during this process. Genius should have these updates. Every time I have called they don't have any info, just guesses that my car is likely at the port waiting for a boat.

Looks like Grand Champion is a potential BMW vessel that has been there since the 23rd. That could be our boat.

I think you're right! I'm currently tracking that as well and it's on the Brunswick 15 day outlook schedule.

I would say not to negate the fact that you went RFT this month so it’s very likely that you’ll be picked up by the 2nd week of December. I was RFT 10/31 and my allocation was had at the last few days of August. I don’t think I could wait as long as you did for an allocation, though. I would go nuts 😫

On the bright side, I’d say you’re on track for a Christmas on early Jan. delivery. I called Genius last Tuesday and was basically given no new info since I went RFT. 2 days later it’s on a boat. It looks like based off other forums after a is on a boat for 1-2 days, THEN it will flip to in transit. The week 38-41 builds had an abnormal backup, but I think the ports of back on track w/ normal schedule. Hang in there your car will be on its way soon 💪🏼

Thank you much appreciated. Trying not to just go buy one used lol. I would really like it before Christmas so i don't miss any incentives, or god forbid interest rates go up again.

Definitely worth waiting for it new. I thought I was the only one stressing about December incentives 😆😆 Keep watching what the feds do as far as interest rates are concerned. Apparently the buy rate went up from 4.99 end of august when i ordered mine to 5.29 as of recent. May end up going w outside financing bc I can’t fathom paying anything over 5% interest on a 36-48 month term when my car was .99% back in 2017 and 2018 😆

Hell yea man i am def trying to get the best deal i can lol. I was just quoted 6.29 for up to 60 so the buy rate has def gone up. I am about to just go with Penfed for outside and just get it over with because the dealer interests rate may negate any incentive

Don’t forget CAs can mark it up typically 1%. 6.29 tells me the buy rate is 5.29 lol. Run the amortization when Dec. incentives hit and see if it makes sense to go with BMW vs. outside

Mine went RFT exactly two weeks ago. I wrote to genius in email few days ago, I suspect because of thanksgiving the response might be delayed. Hopefully mine is on a ship already. I’d love a good Christmas gift.

Interest rates aside, I can’t see how the M2 will receive any incentives soon.
Anybody think different and anticipate holiday incentives on the M2 in December?

I'm at the port in Brunswick! It's getting the MP HAS, front carbon fiber intakes, and MP center console installed while it's there and then it's off to the Performance Center.
