Damn on a truck since WEDNESDAY? Where are they dropping off first? Seattle? You'd think that Houston would have been the first stop.

I know the truck company will fill the trailer. My guess is they have 4 dealerships worth of cars on it because of the RAM fixes.

Unfortunately, no. It was release to the truck carrier on 26 JUL with a Dealership ETA of 29 JUL. I was at the Dealer today, 31 JUL, and they have not seen it. They tried contacting the carrier with no luck and they contacted BMW Delivery Center. They are more frustrated than I am I believe.

At the dealer, they had about 4 acres of asphalt. Not many cars for sale and only 3 new ones left! I was there when they sold the B7 Alpina. The dealer is hurting for inventory that they made a great offer for an early trade of my M235 F23 and gave me a loaner. Hopefully next week.

Try to gain some education about how the allocation process works.

To give you all an update, I took your advice and decided to just go up there today. Good news! They gave me an update and provided my VIN number!!

Here's the screenshot of the current status:



I'm super excited! Can't wait when it arrives at the dealership.

Thanks you all for helping me out! Much appreciated

You are more than welcome. Based on the status, it will fly through the line after paint. You can check the status on bmw usa website and sign up. put the VIN in the my garage section when adding a car and the status will show. Have fun tracking.

No I cannot. At least the Dealership is confident it will be soon or they wouldn't have given me a loaner.

Great News! Congrats. Once your car is completed and at the port you can track it as it heads across the ocean using MarineTraffic.com. We can help you figure it out when you get there.

Good to know! Yea, it seems like the paint is probably one of the longest process, if not the longest. I don't know when the paint started, since that's the time I received the VIN from the dealership. I'll try to contact BMW Genius and see what day they started on the paint job.

Great news! Tracking it can be painful and fun at the same time! You've got some experience here in the forums. Hit us up any time. I saw that someone posted the link so you can track the ship as well. Genius line can give you information on the ship when you see the car at the port or even in Transit.

As a matter of fact, yes! It just arrived this morning about 10 minutes ago. FINALLY!

I will collect it this evening after work. She sent me a pic of the key on the window sticker. A hard to believe photo after all this time.

I know, right. It has been 111 days from order to delivery. That is hard to believe.
