Does anybody have an idea of shipping time from Mexico plant to Texas? Is it by train or ship?

The genius said it's either at the port or on the boat right now and that I should call back on Monday to find out what boat it's on, as his system is typically a few days behind. He said I should expect to take delivery of it by the first week of April at the absolute latest, so that is really encouraging. I think I'm going to stop checking the website and call once a week to find out information. The site still says that my car is ready for transport.

Compared to our wait, probably takes about 15 minutes from MX to TX.

They make up for it by holding cars in "Ready for Transport". (2 weeks now for me.)

Discussion on another thread suggests the cars go from Tampico to Charleston, SC via ship, then on to Spartanburg. I hope that's not true for cars bound for border states.

I've been using the FleetMonitor 2 week free trial service that tracks via satellite. Looks to be more than halfway there.

ETA based on FleetMonitor is 03-07-20 6PM EST. See below for an update.

Negative, we're getting closer and closer!

The tracking website actually has the ship's calculated ETA as Saturday night

Well, the website now says a carrier has been assigned to my car for transport, but it hasn't been dispatched yet. I wish the website would align with what BMW says on the phone!

Update: now i've been dispatched from the factory.
Update 2: now I'm at the port... yes!!
Update 3: In transit. I'm on a boat!

I feel like so far it is almost ahead of schedule or it is exactly where it should be. I suppose this is the part where it can truly slow down.

When I placed the order, the guy told me 6-8 weeks to East Coast (PA) but shorter times are not unheard of. What do you guys think? A month from now? I appreciate all the answers.

There are a few posts on mid teen pages of this thread that can show you some timelines from Germany.

My car was at the port ~2 weeks. Has been in transit from Bremerhaven since 2/21.

8 weeks is the avg provided timeline (w/ no individual options).

I would guess 4-6 weeks based on my car that's coming from Germany to PA and is on a boat right now. But I could be entirely wrong.

My car was dispatched from the factory on 2/7 and didn't get the port until 2/10. It then took until 2/17 to get on a boat. This step can really vary as it depends on how many cars are waiting to be picked up and when a boat arrives to take your car.

My car was picked up on 2/17 but won't arrive at it's destination port until late 3/6 or early 3/7. Then the car has to go through inspection before it can be shipped to the dealer and then will want to inspect it as well. I suspect on won't get my car into my impatient hands until 3/14.

I originally placed my order with my dealer in early December and this long wait has been killing me.
