Nice! You should collect that next weekend! I've been stuck at port for 8 days. I reckon I may end up on Arc Independence due into Bimmerheaven on 3/8.

I'm okay with the wait as I have extra time to savor the manual trans and return the 340i to stock.

For Midwesterners, in the past it took a week after landing in Baltimore which included time in VPC for port install stuff. 48hr turn around at port then truck time to Chicagoland....If all goes well.

Entering your VIN here (under VIN dropdown option), https://www.molace.com/TRK/Search, still shows Bayonne NEAT (Northeast Auto Terminal) as destination. ETA 3/9 @ 4am.

My trial is over so will be relying on you for updates bmwforme

Home stretch fellas, the Grand Orion is only ~300 miles away from the port!

I'm a little skeptical it's going to reach Bayonne by tomorrow based on it's speed and distance to the port but we can hope

Thanks for helping keep us sane!

Going by what the genius told me a while back, there's a chance It'll be at my dealer in about 10 days... So close I can smell that new car smell already!

Next update should be At the Dealership right? I checked a few free ship tracker sites, it looks like it's really close to the port now!

I think it goes back to "at the port" thereafter the dealership. Uncertain, but some of the other posts noted the port status twice.

It will say "at the port" when it lands in America. Then it will say "in transit" again when it is on the way from the port to the dealership. Then it will say "at the dealership" when the transport truck drops it off at the dealership.

For sure! I see the ship is now finally entering NY harbor

I actually have a friend who is a longshoreman at the docks in NJ. He told me that the pier the Grand Orion is coming in on has an 8AM start time so our cars should be discharged shortly thereafter

Yep mine switched back to at the port today and my salesperson told me it had just arrived at the VPC.

Congratulations!!!

It baffles me that you can get a car ordered and delivered to the US from Germany faster than I get get one into the UK from the same factory!

Ordered 24th November and still waiting for it to leave port..

Could you make a 2-3 day trip out of it and go pick it up in Germany? Seems faster than waiting for shipping.
