The boat, on the boat

Just checked the BMW NA website and Gerhardt, my 2018 M240i, in enroute to America. Where's Eddie Murphy when you need him!

Asked a genius - just call & give them your VIN or production number.

Mine is on the Dover Highway. The BMW page was waaaay behind being updated. I was starting to get impatient since it still had not changed to Enroute on the site. I called the hotline and turns out it left on the 29th. It made it to Baltimore this morning, and next stop is GA on the 14th to be put on a truck for delivery! Pending what Irma has to say about my delivery date I guess.

Anyone else running into this issue....? The boat was supposed to dock and start unloading my car this afternoon, but instead pulled further south and stopped dead in the water with a new ETA of Friday morning?... So much for picking my car up at the dealer this weekend.. Now to find some way of getting off work early enough to pick it up during the week.

My 230i completed production on August 29th. BMW site says that it is enroute to the US. Me scheduled date for Performance Center Delivery in South Carolina is not until October 25th.

The message I got from BMW said that this date could change, and I shouldn't make travel reservations to SC until 3 weeks prior to the 25th.

I don't know if the car would have been available earlier from my dealer, but I did want to take advantage of the delivery program - so still need to wait for over a month.

This is pretty consistent with my experience. Mine completed mid August and my PCD is October 16. One month away and looking forward to it!

I had talked to my dealer last week and she told me that I could expect to pick it up this weekend at the earliest. Apparently the port got wrecked pretty bad in the hurricane so everything is backed up now. Mine shopped 29AUG, and I'm told to expect to be picking it up no later than the 21st. I don't see why it would take until October. At this point all that's left is removing the shipping blocks and loading it onto a truck to my dealership. Once they receive it I should be able to pick it up the next day from what I was told

Congrats! Did you pick up right at the VPC? My car arrived in port on the 17th and I still haven’t heard anything. Called the dealer today and all she could tell me was it came off the boat today and it will be another week or so, which is odd since the vessel tracker shows the ship left on the 16th and is almost back to Europe already.
