Mine still final assembly but ours seem to be close together so I bet mine changes soon.

I called genius for the hell of it and found out it is actually in transit to the port for departure. Getting there!

Same here, I had originally ordered blue but my CA told me that 23's with ZTK package only come in red. (unless you don't want extended shadow line, then you can order blue)

Just got off the phone with Genius.

My car left the factory on the 24th headed to the port in Veracruz.

She said it's highly unlikely it'll be on the ship arriving tonight, the Bravery Ace. She said it usually takes a week or so to make it from the factory to Veracruz.

Hopefully I'll make the next one.

I was a week 23 build and she said production was completed 6/20, but the website is showing 6/22 production date.

A week?? Are they pushing the cars there? What's the next ship thats leaves and goes up the east coast? I'll have to check when I off work.

We are in the same boat (or not, (pun intended)).

My prodDate was also 6/22. I also called Genius today and even though I have shown in Final Assembly online since Wednesday, I was also told I am awaiting transport from the plant to the port.

Your update is also meaningful to me. Maybe we would catch the boat early July.

Finally got the update i've been waiting for. Talked to the Genius and she confirmed week 30 not 27 like I had been led to believe it would be.

3/29: ordered
5/12: 047
5/22: 112
6/09: 105
6/21: 047
6/24: 112 (with switch from 2022 to 2023 MY)
6/27: Spoke with genius confirmed week 30 build

Thundernight metallic over Black Vernasca (blue calipers), with contrast stitching, HP Tire and Cooling Pkg, Illunimated M trim, 50th anniversary badges, ZPP, ZTK, ZPK, Driver recorder, HK sound, remote start.

Kinda pi$$ed that you can no longer order Thundernight with Tacora, as that was my first choice. The Oyster just isn't white enough if that makes sense. I had Silverstone in my F82 and Oyster in my G01 and the Silverstone would've looked awesome in the G42, but they gave us the too off white with the oyster.

Glad i'm at least entering production and hopefully will get to see the vehicle for a month or two before the winter set up goes on.

That's what I thought. It looks like Veracruz is only roughly 200 miles from the BMW plant.

The next car carrier leaving for the east coast is Bravery Ace (I think). It usually goes VC>JAX>NY>VC, then it goes VC>NY>BAL>VC, and just cycles back and forth between those two itineraries.

Next up should be the one that goes to NY first as its trip now originated in NY. It's sitting about 5 miles outside of the port in VC now. It departed NY on 6/21.

(If I read everything correctly)

Can't agree with you more. My very initial thought was TNM with Oyster but when I saw that interior color in person I knew it wouldn't be quite right… would've looked like a straight up eggplant. I settled on BG and Tacora Red up until seeing TNM with the Red from some people on the forum… holy crap, it worked! My heart was set on a new combo. But oh no-we can't have nice things, so BMW deleted that configuration for '23😤

Oh and btw they confirmed "end of July" production for me so I'm assuming we'll be riding the production line together. Woohoo!!

Mine just went to Ready For Transport today as well.

Sorta wished that I lived in the east coast right now. It seems like west bound vehicles won't have a carrier until the 17th of July. My car will just be soaking up the Mexican heat for a couple weeks. Unless, somehow there's another vessel to port Hueneme that I'm not aware of?

There is one. My girlfriend has become as obsessed as me and she was looking at carriers. There's one that does west coast runs called Paradise Ace. Might be that one.

Yeah after seeing the very few (and F yes i'm jealous that I didn't get a 2022 MY with this combo) TNM with TR combos it definitely looks awesome, almost polarizing with such a contrast which I really wanted. It is what it is, and unfortunately although the changes over to the 2023 were unwanted by a large majority of us on this board, it will surely be overshadowed by the fun driving dynamics, and new age tech you'll ultimately get used to loving over time.

It just means that i'll have to keep an eye out for the a set of Fiona G8X front seats and swap over eventually.

[akim89]

I just checked the vessel schedule for West bound vehicles! Harvest leader is set to arrive at port Lazaro Cardenas on the 4th or 5th of July and is expected to arrive at Port Heumene on the 11th. I'm pretty confident that my car + a bunch of other 2/3 series will be loaded on this vessel. Cross fingers!!!

Would be awesome if my car makes it in time for that shipment! Just changed to final assembly this morning!

Quick question: my 2023 just entered Production Begins with status 150 (prod date Jul 19). Could my CA still make changes at this point?

I added ACC but I don't see in the options section in My Garage

I believe status 150 means you cannot make any more changes.

[MPR]

5/5 scheduled for production
6/15 production begins - VIN provided - build date 6/28

This is very saddening as I really wanted ACC.. I reached out to my CA again today, will report back here if he says anything different.

[coreyjn7]

Found out my m240i 23 has hit status 150 on 27/6, build date showing as 7th July. Hopefully this is the end of the wait
