my car sat at the factory after production on 12/12 for 7 weeks. Finally moved to the German port and now sitting there for another 8 or 9 days.

Will go to a dealer in Mississippi and I believe the port is in Georgia.

Can’t believe this is normal. Will be lucky to get car by sometime in March at this rate

It's at the port! It's been moving very swiftly. How do I find and track my boat?

Call BMW NA and ask for “Production Status”. They can give you that information when it is assigned to a boat - could be several weeks though. Best of luck with the waiting game!

Once you see the status change to “in transit” in My Garage, call either your dealer or BMW Genius and they will be able to give the info about the vessel your car is on. Also, keep in mind that the status changes to “in transit” one or two days after you car gets loaded onto a ship.

Your SA should have that boat info, just ask them.

I’ve been at the port for almost a week. Hoping I’m on this boat

My car just arrived at the port. I have read this thread. Some waited days and some waited weeks before leaving the port. What about now? Is it better now? I live in the west coast.

Nothing to panic about. Some of us waited for over a month with no open work orders (i. e. the car was ready to be loaded in a ship). It’s all logistics dependent.

I know it will get here it’s just that I’m moving and don’t have a car

I refused to accept the possibility but seems I'm in the dreaded at the port waiting game. I think it's been almost two weeks. There's a boat or two leaving this week so I hope to hear by the weekend that I'm on one but at this point I'm planning on not being in my car until at least mid april

I wrote to genius and spoke to them yesterday

My car has been released to the transport company today after getting to Brunswick this past Monday.

Genius told me that it might be a few days before it actually is transported and then 1 day to dealer.

I'm just over 2 weeks at the port at this point. So frustrating.

My sales guy is surprised and investigating tomorrow. Whatever that means. There was a boat leaving today so I’m hopeful for good news this weekend

I ordered Dec 27. It had a stop sale after I ordered. Lucky for me, a nearby dealer had exact same model with packages I wanted. I compromised on the color (originally ordered grey but got white) and my broker (autopia) helped me take deliver by Jan 15. Couldn't be happier.

I called the genius line earlier. He said no stop sales or issues, just a wait. Supposedly 2 weeks "is fairly normal" and he's seen cars sit for 5-7 weeks.

Well... No idea when she'll get here but my dealer has the same car + ventilated seats so we're doing a swap and I'm so happy!

More features beats less features. Awesome news on the bird-in-the-hand.
