True, but the perf delivery could be a bucket list event. I suggest checking it out because the M track days I went too was a blast.

I agree with TAZ. If you have not done the BMW Performance Center before, this would be a great time to do it. The Performance Center is a BLAST!

I agree but with the potential for delays the risk of a 1000mile trip home in possible cold/snow with summer tires was not a risk I wanted to take.

I can understand that.

If you are interested, keep you eyes open for ZFest. Last July it was in Greenville and part of the activities was the Performance Center. In 2022 ZFest will be at Snowmass, CO, but I'll bet it will be back in Greenville sooner than later.

I think I would enjoy a road trip to Colorado in the summer to go to that event. I will look up when it is happening and see about some time off. Would be real fun.

Any idea of the dates yet? I checked the site and still shows for 2921 no information on 2022 yet. P.S. hope your car is with mine on the dock it updated this morning to at port. Maybe your at scanner fell off and they sent it anyway. 🤞

Here is a link to ZFest 2022 - https://www.zscca.org/zfest/hotel/

It says June 27-July 2, 2022, but that is still a year away, so it is possible it may change. I tried to look up the host hotel, but it seems to be closed while it is being renovated after being sold, so that may change too.

So quick update mine has been on the dock for about a week now. So with some luck it might be leaving on 10/1 and could be in Baltimore Maryland on the 10/13. Not sure how long before it would be shipped up north. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel and for once it isn’t the train…lol

Great news! I can see your smile getting bigger from Colorado.

Still don't know where my car is, but if it is just a data issue and it has not really slowed down the build, then your progress may indicate that mine may be at the port too. I did send an email to Bernhard Kuhnt on Thursday, but have not received a response yet (not sure I will get a response, but thought I would try).

Are you going to drive it in the winter or put it away?

I will definitely be driving it year round. I will be ordering winter wheels and tires for it. I will buy an older winter beater for heavy snowfall. But our winters have been getting less and less snow as the years go on. That’s what I say but we will see once the roads are all salt and crap I might feel differently…lol

Yes I really hope maybe someone like me accidentally lost the barcode scanner paper for your car and maybe it’s on a boat while new paperwork is printed at the us port of arrival. Maybe on that arrival date your car will mysteriously pop up in the system again.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is the case.

So hopefully my car is on the boat that left over the weekend but site still has not updated. Still shows on the dock. I still have hope that it made the earlier boat which is being unloaded in Baltimore Maryland fingers crossed for some kind of update soon.

Best advice is for you to call the Genius line to get a no kidding update.

I always thought that the Genius line was for answering technical questions and that the dealer would be the contact for shipment updates.

They do it all!

I contacted them several times, as have others. There is an option to check the production status of your vehicle. :P If it's on the ship, be sure to ask for the vessel name so you can track it on marinetracker.

Thanks for the clarification.

By the way how many different ports on the east coast does BMW ship to?

All I have ever gotten from them is the same as the website status shows that is on the dock. Called today and that’s all they had for information.

I, also, only get the status that is on the web site from the Genius people. My SA told me that they should be notified when the car is put on the ship. Have you checked with your dealer to see if they have any info?

My car has gone silent and I can't find anyone who can tell me what is going on with it.
