Interestingly, per VesselFinder, Olympian Highway is now on it’s way to Benicia, which is in the Bay Area. Really odd that Port of Hueneme had it on their manifest https://www.portofhueneme.org/vessel...month/2023-09/ so not sure what’s going on but seems pretty clear I’m not on Olympian Highway.

My best hope now is Dionysos Leader will be picking up the SoCal/Southwest vehicles. It is currently being loaded in Lazaro Cardenas and is supposedly going to Hueneme per their port schedule on their website.

How are you able to determine the potential ships? Sorry, I'm new to this.

A little detective work and certainly not 100% accurate or formal. I know that if I'm west coast delivery, the Mexico plant typically ships from Lazaro Cardenas. On my order, it shows order of entry as PHMPOA, which many have confirmed is Port of Hueneme in LA area. From there, I'm looking up websites like Vesselfinder.com to see what vehicle carrier ships are going from Lazaro Cardenas to Port Hueneme as well as looking up the Port of Hueneme website to see what their expected ship manifest is. From there, it's just simply blindly hoping that whichever vehicle carrier that is going from Lazaro to Hueneme is one that BMW uses for transport.

Car is now in transit, probably on the Glovis Solomon, as that seems to be where the other MA guys in transit are reporting their vehicles (also in transit) . Car went directly from RFT to In transit. Hopefully it’s smooth sailing. Does two weeks sound like an accurate timeline for all the transport / taking delivery? Or does it happen a bit faster?

Lol, so apparently Olympian Highway is now making its way to Port Hueneme from the Bay Area. Odd route to take to go from Mexico to Bay Area and then back down to LA area. I still don't think I'm on that one but who knows, maybe there is a chance one of us is.

You should be able to find out what boat you are on from genius.

Yah I’m still in RFT status and when I called, they were of no help just saying the same thing as what the website tracker stated.

Then that probably means it is not on a boat yet. I was still listed as RFT when they told me what boat I was on that had left the port 2 days before.

BioX, how long were you in RFT?

Dionysos Leader has just left port. Pretty sure I missed it but hopefully some of you guys made it.

Dang, those look great! Getting so close.

I just moved to final assembly this evening

[FilipinoKicks]

Ordered a 2024 BMW M340I XDrive...
Order Received: August 28th
Scheduled for Production: September 6th
Production Begins: September 15th

Exterior: Portimao Blue Metallic
Interior: Black Perf Sensatec
Packages: Driving Assistance Pro Pckg, Premium Pckg, Parking Assistance Pckg, Shadowline Pckg, M Sport Package Pro.
Added Options: 19" M Lt/Aly wheels 792M, Adaptive M Suspension, Drive Recorder, Harman Kardon, Remote Engine Start.

I ordered the Aluminum Rhombicle Anthracite Trim, but in the standard features, it has it as Ash Grey Wood Trim, is it just there as a placeholder for the Aluminum Rhomb or should I contact Genius to correct them or will it change by itself?

I think it was a mistake in the order. I would contact your dealer to see if they can change it.

Is anyone's car in the Mexico San Luis Potosi plant and nearing the end of production, like around the "Final Assembly" / "Ready for Transport Stage"?

Trying to see if a ship is going to be filled up soon. (I'm in NYC/East Coast)
