And friend picked up X5M after waiting 12 months. Another received RS6 after waiting 10 months. It is absolutely NOT uncommon to wait for this long period. Also, Belgium will get x allocaiton, while say Estonia will get x-90%. So you cannot say "im in Beglium, it is Europe". It doesn't actually translate same way across countries as BMW has different allocations per EU markets. I have very good chance buying a car from Germahy because there allocation is as good as US at least, if not better. But if I buy in Estonia where I resided till recently (Im in Sweden now) - the allocations are terrible and wait times are long (and prices are higher). It depends where you are in Europe, in other words. Last edited by Tallest; 09-19-2021 at 10:08 AM.. |

Here I think the manufacturers do this mostly to sell more expensive their cars |

Wow, 2 updates back to back. Now it's at "DISPATCHED FROM FACTORY
Your new BMW has left the factory, and is on its way to you". Next position is "At the port". Does it mean it's at the Port in EU or at The Port here in the U.S? |

And today it moved again to "At the Port". So basically it moved from Production Begins to here in 3 weeks. I have a feeling it will get stuck waiting for a boat for a while. It seems there's a shortage of cargo ships lately worldwide for some reason so it may stay at the port who knows how long...

On the bright side, we can always look around and see others who are further away from getting their car. Mine's not even in production yet- hopefully will start in 3 weeks. Your car is actually built- that's a good thing! Keep the faith! |

Let's see how long it sits at the port now until shipped. This will be quite telling and then we'll know how long the process took for a car without too many options. |

There was a bad case in China in August yet that passed as they are efficient with dealing on these things. Probably youre just dealing with port being overloaded with shipments of all sorts of stuff people are buying white sitting at home etc. Hope it will come through soon! |

In different times I would've probably picked it up in person and drove it around Switzerland and Northern Italy and dropped it off. But the whole world is a mess right now and EU is actually worse than the U.S when it comes to Covid restrictions and Health passes and all that nonsense but that's a whole other conversation... |

Stuck at the port for a week now. Called Genius and they said the same thing. They said it could take possibly 2 weeks to get it shipped, I think it could actually be more from what I'm reading about global transportation delays everywhere.
Also they said it takes 3 weeks to cross the Atlantic. WTF? Is it a row boat or gas powered? I thought it was 2 weeks at the most... I'm getting anxious here. |
