2/19 Ready for transport

... waiting... nothing... still ready...

2/26 on phone from BMW Genius, informed that it had already left the factory about 4 days before (2/23?) and was in-transport to the Port of Departure (Veracruz?)... I was told to expect on average a transit time of about 5 days, from SLP plant to Port of Departure.

... waiting... still nothing... MyBmw still showing "Ready for transport"

3/7 online MyBmw tracking **finally** updates again: Awaiting carrier assignment

3/8 Dispatched from factory
3/8 At the port ... (wtf, so fast, is this Port of Departure or Arrival???)
3/8 In transit (I'm in a glass cage of emotion)

TBD At the dealership

Timeline update.

And I have no idea why 2 weeks later it updates at light speed. After the 1st week post-completion post-Ready for transport updated (2/19), still no online change, but Genius informed me it was already being transported to the Port of Departure.

Then 2 weeks later, online updates this weekend at light speed, blowing through Awaiting carrier assignment > Dispatched from Factory > At the port > IN TRANSIT.

Does anyone know if at this stage if 'At the port' meant Departure, and it's in-transit it's just on the ship?

Or by the time it reaches THIS update, it really is on it's way to the dealership ???
