There are some significant rail and trucking backlogs due to worker shortages and supply chains getting back up to speed, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear about delays like this.

Ugh, I didn't know about the rail/trucking backlogs... apparently neither does the Genius line, because they made no mention of it. My CA said probably 2 more weeks, which feels like an eternity at this point. I've asked the Genius line about stop sales a couple of times and they said there aren't any for my vehicle. Hopefully that's true. I got all of the options except space saver spare.

OK, I'm currently predicting/hoping that the GARNET LEADER will be my ship. It's from NYK who BMW uses and will be arriving in Lazaro Cardenas on August 1st and arriving in Port Hueneme on August 5th.

So the ship, Garnet Leader, that I was expecting to get my car left the port this morning and the tracker has not updated(still says "ready for transport") and Genius line doesn't have any update showing that it's on the ship. The next ship from NYK is at the end of August. So my car will be sitting at the port in Mexico for a month at least I guess... Seeing how fast 2022 models are going I'm getting really close to bailing on this '21 order and going for a '22 so I can get Dravit Grey with red seats.

Oh wow I'm in same spot as well. Mine was "ready for transport" this morning, I really hope we made it on that boat! It's going to be a bummer waiting till the end of the month just to get it shipped.

Unfortunately I seriously doubt it. The Genius/CA didn't seem to have any confidence in the idea that it got on the ship without updating, and it seems like from the past posts in this thread that other users got other updates on their tracker before it got on the ship. Though digging through the thread I did see one person say that their tracker jumped 4 steps from "ready for transport" to "in transit" so there's always a chance...

I'm a little confused about what the different stages of the tracker mean. Supposedly my car has been "ready for transport" since the 23rd(though phone tracker said it on the 16th), and the genius line said it was actually "in transit" to the port on the 23rd. But when should it say "at the port"? When it hits the US port? The Mexico port? The port is only 8-9 hours from the plant, so if it was "in transit" it should definitely be there by now... I read one person say their's went backward from in transit to at the port, so does it do that for everyone?

Finally got an update. Car is now in "Awaiting Carrier Assignment". Hopefully there's another ship coming sooner than the August 28th one, but looking at the import history on importinfo.com it looks like there's usually only about 2 ships a month from Mexico. Cars come from Germany much more frequently. I would expect faster deliveries from a car factory that's on the same continent.


Update! I just called the Genius line and spoke to the rep, my car got on the Garnet Leader!

Looks like it'll hopefully be on the Phoenix Leader. I'm not sure what the red dates mean, though. https://www.nykroro.com/documents/US...ast/USWCFE.pdf

Woot! June 3rd?! Dang, and here I was being impatient over 2 weeks lol... 3 other shipments have come and gone since then. I called my dealer today and he said mid to 3/4 of the way through August arrival time... I hope he's being pessimistic. I was really hoping for next week.

Im up in Salt lake and my CA told me 5-10 days max to get on a truck from Oxnard to up here. Fingers crossed we both get a swift delivery.

Wow congrats!! Hopefully you should get it soon! Especially since it should take only a few days to reach. Keep us posted on the timeline.

Did you order the parking assistance package by any chance? Wonder if you heard about any stop gaps for your car. I keep reading in the g80 forums people have been waiting.

Unfortunately, mine has been stuck in ready for transport mode for a few days now. And like you mentioned, looks like there's no more ships till the end of the month.

Yep, I got every option there was except the space saver spare and HK(because it wasn't available). So Driver's Assistance Pro and Parking Assistance as well as:
Adaptive M Suspension
Power tailgate
Remote Engine Start
all of which I think had a chip problem. However, I just got off the phone with the BMW Genius and they said there are no stop sales and that my car is already with the carrier and expected to be delivered on the 13th!!!

Wow awesome!! Glad to hear there's no stop sales on your car. I was worried all cars with the parking assistance package would be stuck waiting. Nice, that's just a week away! The great thing about the Mexico factory is the shipping is so fast once you get on that boat.

The m340i supposedly finished production on July 28th according to genius. Been mostly stuck since then, I see "final assembly" on the bmw website and "ready for transport" when I call genius. When I called to get more info yesterday, it still hasn't gotten assigned a ship or anything yet either sigh.

That sounds normal. My car entered Final Assembly on 7/15 and didn't update to Ready for Transport until 7/23. But when I called the Genius line on 7/16 the automated system told me it was ready for transport. On 7/23 when it finally switched over to Ready for Transport I called the Genius again and spoke to a rep who said it was actually in transit to the port that day.
