Order Update:

After being in Quality Check for nearly seven weeks my vehicle moved to "Awaiting Carrier Assignment" today!

Aug 7: Enter Production
Aug 24: In Paint Booth
Aug 27: Quality Check
Oct 15: Awaiting Carrier Assignment

M40i with all packages and options.

Any idea how long it takes a big boat to get from whatever port it comes from in the Mediterranean to Baltimore?

I remember. I will let you know when it actually gets on a boat and how long that takes. Are you east or west coast? That will make a big difference. Mine doesn't have to go through the Panama Canal.

Yep, mine needs to go through the canal and then the car is dropped in Long Beach to be trucked back to Denver.

Galveston is just a few miles further than Long Beach and they don't need to pay the fee for the canal. Not sure why they don't drop it there.

Not sure why the unions would care. Seem it would be the same to them either way. The only thing which may make a difference is that there is interstate all the way from Long Beach and not so much for Galveston.
