My order updated yesterday to the final “In Transit” prior to “At the Dealership”. I assume that means it’s on a truck somewhere to the dealer from the land port. Any idea what to expect timeframe wise? It’s a lot sooner than expected. They ordered it Oct 4th, and said probably early / mid December delivery.

If it has already been at the port and the second In Transit it shouldn't be too long. My car to MN was put on a truck on Thursday and at the dealer today.

Anxiously waiting, car has been "at the port" for about 3 days now. German built '20 M340i from a cancelled ED.

Is your car shipped from the Origin port or It already arrived at the destination Port and it's on the way to the dealership from the destination port?

Because In Transit status mean 2 different things based on where you stand from the above criteria.

That is too bad you had to cancel ED. That was my original plan, pick up on October 6. Would be my 3rd. The delivery experience at the Welt was fantastic.

to my understanding ED is no longer offered, how did you even get it in the first place? I asked for it and was told whole program is canceled.

i ordered mine yesterday btw

It’s the second in transit before “at the dealership” and after “at the port”. Can’t get any more details from the web or phone tracking.

It’s coming from Mexico given 3MW on the vin I assume.

That is correct, ED program officially ended 9/2020. Last date to place an ED order was 5/2020. I placed my order and received a production # back in 12/2019. Covid turned the entire world upside down. BMWNA, BMWAG, the Welt, and Air France were all good to work with and moved my date & flights every month all the way up to 10/2020, after the official end date.

My order looks to be a victim of the "ready for transport" bug. Has been sitting that status for a week now, production finished 11/2. Probably going to poke genius at some point this week and see if it has left port

My car was in transit two weeks ago then out of nowhere went backwards to at the port. Nobody could understand how that happened when I called BMW. Finally on Friday I called and it's been assigned a truck and to be delivered Tomorrow to the dealer and is showing in transit finally after two weeks at the port. I had some M performance parts installed there which was probably the hold up. I am going through a broker so I'm jot sure how long this all will take. The dealer sends the car to the broker after it's been at the dealer and I can pick it up at their office or have it delivered to my house for $100

So i just confirmed with Genius it’s on the Glovis Challenge due to make port Nov 21, so the timeline is starting to make sense. I wish BMW would add a few milestones to the web app such as left departure port, arrived at destination port, departed port for dealership.

Onyx Ace arrived in NJ this morning around 5:30 AM EST (for anyone with a Bremerhaven build that may be onboard).

My build status is still "At the port", but I'm hopeful my car makes it to the dealer before this weekend so that I can pick it up.

I'm fairly certain that is by design. Even though it technically goes back a step on the timeline, it does start at one port, then goes into transit, then arrives at the final destination port. So I think you were seeing the right thing.

That makes sense, they should add an extra check point that say's, "On Ship" so that it clarifies this because when in transit, it implies it's on a truck to the dealer.

I think it confuses the Genius line too. They told me I was In Transit so I had moved past the VPC and was on my way to the dealership. I told him I was still on a ship and he could see that the ship I was assigned had not gotten to Baltimore yet. It is confusing to go forward and then back. But at least your car is getting closer so not as bad as waiting for carrier. That stage was brutal.

Apparently it's still at the port and it's because of the M Performance parts installed. It was supposed to be here last week. It shows in transit. So nobody really knows anything. It was supposed to be at the dealer today. Per my call with them, then I was updated. Should be there by the end of this week. I don't think I can do a custom order again. This is too frustrating and my patience is non existent. I'll fly to another state if I have to and buy next time rather than go this route.
