In fairness to San Luis Potosi, the forecast is basically partly cloudy, 81 high / 56 low every day for the foreseeable future which sounds great compared to August in DC. Gotta love what a mile+ of altitude does for the weather.

I'm hoping for early September delivery but who knows. On the one hand, I'm impressed the car was built in about 3 weeks after placing the order.

Be interesting to see who's 2022 shows up first in the states.

Of course, I'm dead last at week 35.
Well, after checking with my dealer I found out that I had a week 34 build ( thought I was told week 32). Then last night I looked and my status updated to "production begins".

You never know you might get moved up!

Where'd you get that information? If you're in Seattle, I assume your car will head west from the factory and ship from a port on the Pacific coast of Mexico to Port Hueneme. Mine will go east and arrive at the VDC in New Jersey.

I'm not sure which port they'll use. Skimming the "Tracking vehicles built at the San Luis Potosí, Mexico assembly plant?" thread, it looks like it can be Tampico, Altamira, or Veracruz. I'll probably call the 800 number on Monday to see if I can get more info.

I don't think you will see that on the site.

The SA at my dealership confirmed the build week, once the order was received and confirmed at the factory.

It's possible but unlikely. Based on my review of the threads here and my own experience, cars typically sit in "Ready for transport" for a while (a week or two) and then update again in rapid succession with the next three steps after they are on the boat. Hang in there.

My Germany build went, between 10pm and 5:30am today, into final assembly, ready for transport, awaiting carrier assignment and dispatched from factory. Just one more potential for sitting.

I dont understand why the process to deliver to port is taking so long.... either they still seating at bmw factory waiting for truckers to move it.. or I dont know it doesnt make sense...

just called the genius line.. and he said that car still at the factory ready for transport... usually happens because they dont have space at the port.. so they are waiting for next ship to arrive and clear that lot so the next lot of cars can be brought in to the port.
