Mine has arrived at the dealer according to “my garage” but I spoke to the SA and they don’t have it yet. Hopefully tomorrow.

Yes, "at the dealership" status in "my garage" has never been reliable even for the cars assembled in Spartanburg, SC. The best way to make sure your car is at the dealership is to contact your SA.

I'm curious what kind of inspection & service facility BMW has at the ports.
Is it a big garage with lots of techs with state of the art workshops checking & reworking lots of cars, or is it one stevodore in a dusty hole with a roll of baling wire and duck tape?

I have driven by the port in Brunswick a few times. You ought to check out the Google satellite pictures. It is a mind-blowing amount of asphalt parking lots. Thousands of cars. Areas for most of the major manufacturers. Not much covered space.

I have this image in my head of some dude trying to jury rig the wiring harnesses that were cut too short or routed wrong. I wonder how much they can be stretched by a couple of strong guys with water pump pliers?

At first it sounded like an OTA code update. But now we read:

Apparently "Rework wiring harness parking distance control (PDC)"

Car arrived at the dealer this morning and I processed all paperwork

Hopefully car will be to me by Monday or Tuesday

Our car arrived at the port last weekend. It arrived at the dealership yesterday.

The mygarage website shows accurate status. The iOS app still shows "at the port".

Pickup is scheduled for this afternoon!

Good luck with your great nee IX's, folks. Enjoy!

Looks like our defect code just went closed.

Oh that's great news! Let us know what they say when you call them on Monday

Monday morning, 3/25. Genius tells me that my IX was Released to a Transporter and should be on a Transport Vehicle today!
I would assume it should hit the Dealer about 60 miles from the Port pretty quick.

Great news, not to be a downer but my car waited a few days after being released to a transporter before it was actually trucked to the dealer.

Hopefully your moves today and gets there quickly.

That tracks. Dealer tells me They expect to have the car Thursday am. That will be fine for me.

Woohoo! I'm so happy you finally are getting your car!

[JSTARR]

Yes! Thursday day after tomorrow it shoud be!
Among other things I Can't wait to validate that my home Chargepoint install works ok.

My iX 50 came in and we spent a lot of time on a rainy day going through it at the dealers.
First and major impression is that it is, in our eyes, drop dead gorgeous, I truly love this car, and really enjoy driving it.
Found the sole seeming glitch within the first few minutes. The location (gps, nav, map etc) was stuck in the Port of Newark area or sometimes in lower bay. It had the operating software updated at the BMW shop at the port bfore being loaded on the transporter. All were hoping it would find itself after driving for a while, so I took it for a very sweet 6 hour loop through the Catskills & left it outside while I charged it last night.
It never updated, so first thing this morning the dealer sent me another iX loaner by concierge, along with apologies and lots of goodwill.
I'm sure they'll get it sorted quickly, and in mean time I have a great car to drive, so no harm.
I'll post some pix when I get her back home. And will finish our detal checkout when the gps is right.
