LOL, rest assured I was just informed that she has a good history and was given an exam May 2018, 0 deficiencies, and will arrive with a full load of fancy cars from Bremerhaven into USBAL on or about 4/13 @ 4:00am! The Korean officers run a TIGHT ship!

xraymd · 04-08-2019, 09:54 AM

Friday night/Saturday morning (4/6).

xraymd · 04-08-2019, 12:11 PM

And my status just changed back to “at the port.”

Quick tip for those that care. Easiest way to shut off the AC is to make a shortcut from the 8 programmable buttons from the AC/MENU hard button. When u press the hard button there is an AC off box. Either touch from the screen or use the drive button to uncheck the AC box. Crazy

Just saw today that my status changed to "InTransit". The SA confirmed I am on the Zenith Leader....

My status just changed from “in transit” to “at the port.” So this is actually a positive step? I wish I hadn’t found out about the tracking, now I’m driving myself crazy checking the status multiple times per day. I was told my car would be here by the end of May, which is fine but now I am wondering if it may be sooner...

Well if you made it your destination port (I assume Baltimore?),
I’m guessing that caused the change back to “at port. “
I think other members had this happen, buggy webcode.

I had my car within 6 days once it was at the port. However I live on the east coast. I have no idea how long it takes to get to OHIO. Cant be too long. You will have it by the end of the month I would think

Cleveland is a about 7 hours from NJ; Toledo 9 (8.5 maybe) hours west of NJ, maybe an extra day for delivery to dealer?? Lol
I did that drive weekly , hell Ill pick it up and drive back!
That would be an interesting test drive

I’m in Toledo and I switched back to “at the port” yesterday.

Dealership ETA is April 14 (this Sunday).

Nice, so the 6 day ETA from port of discharge to dealer seems accurate?

Yes, according to the sheet my SA gave me when I ordered the car, the destination port is Baltimore. That would be nice if the "at port" status truly meant the car has arrived in the US.

My car is still at the VPC even after a week. I'm assuming my addition of carbon fiber mirror caps/spoiler caused this as I'm seeing M340i's hit dealers around New England.

We’ll see.

Anyone know when they enable BMW Connected within the car? I keep plugging in my VIN on the app but it still says my car doesn’t have the feature. I was hoping I could login before it reached the dealer.

haha I've been trying the same about once a day with no success. I'm assuming it's only activated upon delivery.

Really? Then where does the saying about ships that go bump in the night come from?
