Is there any other way to verify that the car is at the VPC?

Yes, mine went to At Port after it arrived. You should check with your SA to see what they have. At this point, they likely have more up to date information than the BMW Genius line.

Ok thanks. I sent an email to my SA and awaiting his response. Called genius again and the guy I spoke to stated that he talked to a few other people today who had cars on the same Vessel but for some reason the system hasn’t been updated yet. He said to check back again around 8pm tonight.


Edit - just checked online 2:40 pm CST and the status changed from “In Transit” to “At the Port”, called Genius and they said it just arrived at the port but is not at the VPC yet.

Genius can also tell you if you are scheduled to be on a truck to the dealership, your sa will know the most about how long cars will take to get from port to their dealership

It will change back to in transit when it's on the way to the dealership

Genius said my car should arrive at the deal ship tomorrow!’ Fingers crossed I get it Friday or Saturday.

Tbitt any updates on your car?

Mine went to “at the port”, and it looks like they revert to that when it arrives. I’m watching for “in transit”. Another poster was on the same ship, called the Genius line, and they told him it would be dispatched today (3/14). He’s in Chicago. I’m hoping we’re all on the same truck. When my status changes, or the sales agent contacts me, I’ll post. My goal right now is to be driving 3/20.

Ok, my SA just emailed me and said it hasn’t arrived yet. I’m gonna call Genius again this afternoon, my status is still on “at the port” also. I leave for vacation to Mexico on 3/21, so I’m hoping I get it this weekend so I’ll have time to “get to know” it before I leave.

By the way, when I saw the ship was about to arrive in Baltimore, I found a live cam and watched it come in, because I could. Actually docked at the VPC first, and then moved to two other docks in the port later.

SA just told me “It was released to the carrier yesterday and scheduled to be shipped today. I would expect to see it early next week”

Week 8 build of my M340i xdrive just arrived at the destination port of Galveston this afternoon!

Called again just now and it still hasn’t left Baltimore. Whoever I spoke with on Wednesday gave me bad info. At this point it’s looking like I won’t be getting mine until the 27th.

Update, status just flipped to “In Transit”, hope there’s not a lot of stops along the way!

Anyone else's order on the Mercury Leader boat? It arrived last night to Port Hueneme. My status had changed to "In Transit" on 3/11/24.

From Port Hueneme, it gets driven/transported to your dealership correct? I'm in the Bay Area/Norcal

AND I’ve been talking to another guy whose car arrived on the RCC Europe at the same time - and his car left Baltimore on the 12th, and is already at his dealer in Chicago. So there’s hope for you yet!

That’s crazy and interesting!

Now I need to get the run flats replaced with my Michelin Pilots ASAP. Even with the adaptive suspension in Comfort, it’s a bit rough over bad roads.

Still a fun car though and glad to be back to rear wheel drive!

Just back from getting tinted and coated!

My SA just emailed me and my car has arrived. Said he won’t have it ready until the middle of the week, which seems slow to me. I asked if he could have it ready on Tuesday, I have a super early flight on Thursday morning and would prefer to not be making the 3 hour round trip late on Wednesday.

Congrats. Mine’s there, too, but they haven’t reached out yet.

Set up time to pick it up Tuesday afternoon.

[antjones21]

Wow! Congrats! My guy is telling me Wednesday at the earliest. I’m definitely gonna press him on that. No reason it should take 3+ days to get a car ready for delivery!

Nice color, this was a close second for me

My production date is 3/26 using the F12 trick. How long do you guys think it should take to get to a Florida dealer after that? And can you ask the BMW genius for anything other than what ship your car is on?

Depends on how fast you can get assigned a ship once it’s done being built! In my case it took 20 days just from RFT to At the port!
