I noticed the BMW configurator shows the black diamond grille on the summary screen when selecting the extended shadowline package. Is that accurate or is it still had vertical slats grille?

Edit: Genius actually told me that ETA to dealer was 9/28. I knew that wasn't right, so I checked with dealer. CA told me it's 2 or 3 days from VPC to dealer. |

how long is the car normally in the "ready for transport stage". I believe mine has been at this stage for 4 days now and I have read others say it usually is only in this stage for 1 day if that then goes to "awaiting carrier assignment". This is my first ordered car btw so new to this. Plus does anyone know how long it takes from the boat to the east coast? Thanks

Two factors when determining time to port delivery on east coast. Although I have not experienced this first part, the boat could start on north and head south to all ports.. or as mine did, south heading north. Mine left Mexico on Sept 3rd and arrived in Baltimore on the 16th... had 6 port stops in between. |

Mine sat in that stage for 3 weeks and it skipped all the way to in transit, but there were other people who's car only sat in that stage for a few days and there order made the boat in time. So as BLG said it's usually about 2-3 weeks unless you get lucky. My car was also on the boat with BLG and my car reached the NJ/NYC port on the 18th, also each port stop the boat makes it usually sits at that port for a full day

Thanks for the responses, clearly the people I have read about getting assigned a carrier about a day after ready for transport were extremely lucky then. But yeah hopefully I am on the next ship with you! My order was placed on August 28th so I feel like I am in pretty good shape time wise so far and hopefully stays that way haha

So, does anyone know 100% what that means? Do the cars come by boat from Mexico or train? Does In transit mean they're on the boat? On their way to the boat?

Correct; however, the My Garage page may not be updated for a day or two after it goes onto the truck. Calling the Genius hotline is more accurate at this point, although they won't have an accurate ETA for arrival at the dealership. Call your CA for that.

My CA provided me with the vessel info (GLOVIS SOLOMON for anyone interested), which I am now tracking on marinetraffic.com. He also said that it's estimated to arrive in NJ on 10/6, so exactly 2 weeks from today. Hoping just 4 or 5 days from NJ to RI at that point. So might have my car roughly 3 weeks from now?! Cannot wait!
