There's a good chance I'll be on the ship with you. I am also in port and I see you're in San Diego; my car is headed to Palm Springs.

Just talked to the Genius line and they said that it was loaded onto Victoria Highway yesterday and expected to reach Brunswick, Georgia on October 4th. Then it’ll stay in VPC for 2-3 days and then ideally, I’d get mine no later than the middle of October.

The end is in sight for mine - will be taking delivery 5 months to the day after I got my production number, got a confirmed date at the PC.

Awesome to see some of the more recent builds are coming over quicker!

SBT · 09-17-2024, 06:19 PM

I picked mine up yesterday (order confirmed on June 19).

It seems the article is saying that it wont be a total stop just a significant slow down?

Congrats!

I ordered mine about a week after yours and it's just arrived at the port in Germany.

Mine just went directly from "In the Paint Booth" to "Quality Check" sometime between 6am and 7am CDT today. It did spend 8 days in the "Paint Booth". I guess BMW's tracking system got stuck. Now if it would only jump to "At the Dealership".

When I see a post like this it reminds me of the famous saying from the 1970's TV series Kung Fu.

"Patience, young grasshopper"!
