Definitely in the phase of this thing where it’s like COMEON ALREADY!!!

Anyway, Genius said I left the factory warehouse last Monday (11/13) and they still aren’t sure where it is but I have to assume it is at a port in Mexico awaiting a boat.

Congrats to all of you who will be getting your cars soon, I am excited for you all!
This thread is overrun now by all of us that were waiting a month or more that finally got on a boat, but if you want to go down the rabbit hole, I've posted a couple of messages earlier in this thread that explain what, where, and how to search for potential incoming ships. And also identified a few to look out for in the coming weeks. I believe there's another thread that started up also with subsequent build weeks that are waiting on a ship. I haven't ventured over there to see if they've picked up on the search though.

I’m certainly willling to help the folks still in Mexico. But be aware that most of us here are simply exhausted of dealing with delays and tracking ships.

I don’t think any other group is likely to wait as long as we had to wait (5 weeks) for a boat. The normal cadence is one abt every 3 weeks.

I’ve been following this group for a few weeks and I’m honestly exhausted just reading how much goes into it and how long you guys had to wait 😂 I’m reading back on the forum and learning up on how to find boats that are going where. I guess it would help to know my port, so I’ll have to call BMW tmrw. I’m going to safely assume Veracruz. Any tips/insight into finding ships BMW uses going to Brunswick? It seems I need to pay on one of these tracking sites, but man is it hard to see an outlook for only MX -> GA on ro/ro ships

I figured I’d start another thread so as to not disrupt this one w/ more vessel tracking since you guys are so close that I’m seeing truck tracking now haha.

After the Sunrise loaded cars in Veracruz, it likely cleared out 3 weeks of cars in Veracruz, and then they store 3 more weeks at the Veracruz port. The cars beyond that likely end up in Altamira. BMW genius was never able to tell most of us where our car was kept. They told me for 5 weeks that my car was in Transit to the port (but not which port), until the day they told me it was on the Sunrise.

Paying one of the tracking sites won't help you find a vessel, unfortunately, as they don't have schedules. If you search way back in this thread I've made a post with many helpful links to get started.

I can help monitor more vessels, I have vesselfinder until the the 30th I think.

There were 3 boats that just left Veracruz yesterday and another 4 coming in over the next few days.

I'd call BMW Genius or your CA and see if you can find out if you're scheduled for a boat (CA can ask sales or something to find out - at least thats what my CA did)

At some point the dealer/sales assoc. should know what ship your vehicle was on. I got this and then was able to track it from there. I would assume this updates for the dealer at the same time genius would get the same update.

When I called genius yest, I knew the ship was in port before the lady did.

I have marine traffic vesssel tracking until the 27th and can help any way possible. Just let me know 🤝🏻

Do you think you received a cancelled order or they just happened to have everything you wanted? Seems extremely rare these days since the dealerships in my area only orders base models with very little of the customized features.

It could’ve been. When i started looking there were only 2 that matched my exact specs. One was “in transit to dealer” and was actually going to buffalo NY dealer. The other was in production.

I honestly think I just got extremely lucky. It was the color, interior, with 100% of the options I did want and none of the ones I didn’t want. There was no other ones remotely close within 200 miles, so I pulled the trigger.

My order date on the sheet though is like 10/6. So from 10/6 to destination port in 44 days. But I actually signed paperwork just last Friday.

I also messaged my CA to see if he shows mine at the vpc yet. He gets in at 9 est and I’ll let y’all know. (Glovis ship, NYC port gang)

Edit: 909am est, no status change on his end. Still shows arrived at port

I called Genius again just now. Car at Baltimore final destination NC. They told me yesterday it should be on a truck Wednesday. Today they told me it’s through VPC and released to trucking company today and is on a truck. Not sure about that but will refresh MY Garage a lot today.

I had no port installs.

Wait on a truck? Lol. Yeah that’d be amazing but it’s hard to believe. Let me know if you see any update on MyGarage. Makes me kind of want to call them again.

Messaged my CA (NY/NJ port) to see what he's expecting for his dealership. Not sure how many cars they have being delivered from the Sunrise but maybe he'll have some info.

Baltimore VPC arrival to Chicago area dealer. My car has an open order as of today for the MPE install. It's still currently expected to ship out tomorrow according to what my CA sees in the system, but he is a bit skeptical. Seems likely for delivery to fall somewhere between this weekend or early next week.

Seems reasonable to me 3 working days from arrival to departure.
Has to go through customs, vpc checks, etc… and enough cars need to be done to schedule transport.

Delivery earlier next week seems to be on the menu
