Mine is on that vessel also. Due at port 11/22 for me. I am in New York.

Mine also has .48 and when I check for updates it says there are none available.

When I spoke to a Genius last week, the delivery date to the dealership was 11/15, but that has now past...

I called the Genius hotline again today and was told that my car is still at the NY/NJ VPC and that there has been no update to the delivery date (still 11/15)

Seems like now we're facing delays at the VPC?

May be they are rolling out slowly in batches. You will probably get that in few days.

Very strange - after talking with a Genius again, who was unable to see any update to the November 15 date, I happened to check the status online yesterday. It had changed from "At the port" to "At the dealership". I called the dealership to check, and they confirmed that though it hadn't arrived yet, it was arriving that day. I think this is the only time in history where the online tracker has been more helpful than the Genius line...

Also, as others have said, BMW needs to add a couple statuses to the tracker. The fact that they send it from "In transit" back to "At the port" is odd. Why not do something like "At the departure port" -> "In transit to destination port" -> "At the destination port" -> "In transit to dealership" to make things much clearer?

Anyway, I'm just glad to be picking up my car on Monday 11/23

Glovis Challenge has been sitting at port of Baltimore since the 17th. My delivery dealer is in NY. Does anyone know if this vessel normally continues on toward New Jersey? I would think so but it's been in Baltimore for almost 5 days.

It looks like it is scheduled to get to Newark around 11/24, but the Sallaum schedules are sometimes out of order. That is brutal to be so close to your port for a week.

Good link. Thanks. They were scheduled to be at vpc on 11/22. I guess I'll wait a bit longer. My current lease is MY18 due 12/31 so at least I have a ride. I figure I'll have it 2nd week of December.

My car was stuck in Scheduled for Production and Production begins for quite a while, it then went to Assembly in Progress and now in Quality Check.

The real question is how long it will be from this point until it shows up at my dealer.

My boat finally reached Beijing, hopefully it'll be in port for ~12 hrs or so (it was at Shanghai for 24 hrs) then on it's way to Korea. It's about a day between Beijing and Korea so hoping for the 24th/early 25th!

Hope you are one of the lucky ones that gets on a ship right away. Coming from Germany or Mexico?

Probably want to contact the Genius line and work your way through the menus. They can give you a better timeline. The website is typically behind real life. If your VIN starts with a W it is from Germany, a 3 is from Mexico. I usually called around 4:30 because I wasn't sure when they quit for the day.

It starts with a 3. Last time I tried the automatic system (calling the 1-800 number) it said it would be done in production yesterday, so hopefully that is what is right. Not that I /need/ the car right now ,being down a car just saves me money, but I just want my new toy badly

Talking to a person will give you more accurate information. I generally found the website and automated status to be at least 2 days behind.

The one time I talked to a person he had no more information than I could find online ,but that was right after a VIN had been generated, so I might have tried too soon.

Yeah too soon they seem to know more once the car is at the port ready to ship.

After 41 days, my car is finally at the port - the boat arrived early this morning. After work I'll go out there to watch them unload cars.

About two weeks away from delivery... according to my salesguy it takes about a week for customs and a week for the VPC.

What's the time frame for a shipment from Mexico?

I'm in transit from Mexico currently.
