Are you guys not watching the news. Theres a global microchip crisis and BMW has been stopping production everywhere for weeks at a time until more ECUs arrive. Nothing to do with getting workers or COVID. Theres no way that the Z4 can avoid production delays between Aug and Dec. The plants are not even sure when their parts will show up so they certainly cant tell us when the car will be ready precisely. I would expect at least 1-2 weeks longer times to delivery. In addition there are huge global transport problems with ocean liners and the floods in the south from the hurricanes.

The BMW USA people have no idea
The plants themselves don't even know when your cars will be complete. Thats what I was trying to say. Im hearing that many cars are being run down the line and then parked in the plant lot awaiting the rest of the microchip ECUs. The BMW customer order tracking system isn't set up to handle this kind of uncertainty. Thats why BMW cant tell u precisely when your car will be finished, shipped or here. The industry has never seen this kind of issue. Best they can tell you I bet is when the car gets loaded on the boat. Then the boat delays start.

So mine has now moved into quality check. What a great way to end a not so great day at work. Now we just wait and see how long before it gets on a boat.

It looks like most people stay in quality check for less than 24 hours. I'll keep my fingers crossed that yours moves on to Final Assembly by Monday.

Well the site was down over the weekend but just got fixed a little while ago. Mine is now awaiting carrier assignment so it should be on the dock for the next boat soon. More and more excited each day.

Several of the more active folks had their cars built and delivered within the last few months, so we like to pass on the info that helped us make the wait a little more bearable. |

Same with Washington State... unfortunately it gets delivered to South Cali and then driven on a truck up the coast. I got lucky in the sense that one of the ports is Galveston and it's only 3 hours away. :P |

I have been told that your dealer will be notified of which ship your car is assigned. I was just told by the Genius folks that my car completed assembly on 9/6 and I still can't find out if it has made it to port or been assigned to a ship. Hope your dealer has better luck finding out which ship your car is on.

Sounds like a great road trip. If you do it be sure to take lots of photos.

Yeah PDC would be pretty cool, but the drive home might SUUUCK if you were looking at doing PPF and/or ceramic.

Well I noticed on the ships the port of Baltimore I assumed Maryland. I was right there is a brand new BMW vehicle distribution center that opened in September so that explains why the New Jersey port is no longer being stopped at.
