Oops, I had your boat wrong. Glovis Superior is in range. Hits port in a few hours. You can stay up late and “watch” it come in on the app. I fell asleep watching NOCC Oceanic last week.

Kenny C · 04-14-2019, 08:46 PM

Hey congrats!!!! Great color combo. Remember the break-in period. 1200 miles

Nooooo! I need to break the OCD cycle...I’m going to take 10 melatonin tabs tonight!! I find myself averaging 3 hours sleep! I keep refreshing the darn fleetmon app. throughout the night!!

Edit:

Ok, I lied! Finally made it to port, and status just flipped to "at port", based on other's experience does that possibly mean its at VPC already???

My car got off the boat around 5:00AM and work order issued and pulled to be processed and hopefully on a truck later today or tomorrow morning. Looking like Friday pickup.

Excited for you

I too need to finalize the order soon

Straight6Dave · 04-16-2019, 08:30 AM

Just in case anyone isn't paying attention, my car that was in Bremerhaven since the beginning of April just switched to 'In Transit' so I'm guessing it caught the boat April 15th hitting NY on the 29th.

Frank_NJ · 04-16-2019, 10:48 AM

You can call Genius and he will have boat info.

I'm boarded on the Selene Leader

BMW Genius said it's due to port May 7th , and I'm on the West Coast !, couldn't be happier. I guess my ship is skipping the East Coast altogether, it's due for Jacksonville Port April 26th

I just learned that my car is on the Selene Leader as well. FWIW, I received the same May 7 ETA from BMW Genius.

For us I think it lands in Port Hueneme, CA near Oxnard. Which is actually fairly close to where I live and my dealer. Or maybe it goes by land after reaching JAX Port , not sure honestly my first time on a custom build.

My car has been sitting at the port since April 6th, less than 100 miles away!

That’s not good!!

Are you getting port installed parts?? Possible damage??
I’m seeing cars pop up on dealer lots that are stock inventory (ie not sold)!!
How are they moving versus priority 1s!?!

UPDATE: ok I went back thru posts. You’re doing port install.
That’s why I avoided that and indv. paint. Couldn’t risk delays.

UPDATE #2: Just called the BMW Genius, and was told vehicle is finished VPC and waiting for transport to dealer ETA 4/21.

Yes, I'm having the rocker panel extensions, rear bumper trim and rear diffuser installed. I assumed they offered these parts because they're actually available.

Yesterday my CA said it was "released to carrier". So maybe they're finished.

Frank_NJ · 04-17-2019, 02:03 PM

Did you get any port installed options? I have a connection at the VPC that processed my car after it was received from Customs.

meddlemaker · 04-17-2019, 04:28 PM

My car has been sitting at Bremerhaven for about 8-9 days. I'm awaiting delivery in California and I've read the wait for West Coast ships.

How long have you guys had to wait at port for West Coast delivery?

I think we’re on a similar schedule. Genius confirmed I’m ready for transport to dealer, ETA 4/21 Easter Day!
