I realized that I hadn't posted my complete after my car was delivered. Below is my car spec, the timeline from ordering to delivery and some thoughts.

Tacora Red Vernasca Leather
Oak Matte Finish Wood Trim
Cooling & HP Tire Package w/792M wheels and PS4S tires
Driving Assistance Package
Drivers Assistance Pro Package
Premium Package
Adaptive M Suspension
Harmon Kardon Surround Sound
Icon Adaptive LED headlights w/Laserlight
Park Distance Control
Power Tailgate
Remote Engine Start
SensaTec Dashboard
M Sport Brakes with Red Calipers

Car Timeline:
Order Placed: 1/24
Order received: 1/25
Scheduled for production: 1/26
Production begins: 2/1 (VIN assigned MX build).
-35 Days-
Exterior body assembly begins: 3/7
In the paint booth: 3/7
Entering assembly line: 3/7
Assembly in progress: 3/8
Quality check: 3/8
Final assembly: 3/9
Ready for transport: ? Status Never Updated
Awaiting carrier assignment: ? Status Never Updated
At the port (outgoing): ? Status Never Updated
In transit: 3/30 (Glovis Captain from Vera Cruz)
At the port (incoming): 4/10 Baltimore VDC. (MPE removed from build on 3 May) Called Genius on 4 May, stated status was released to carrier 4 May 22, estimated delivery 9 May 22.
-24 Days-
In transit: 5/6
At the dealership: 5/9
Vehicle delivered: 5/20
-Total time from Order Placed to Delivery 117 days, or 4 days shy of four months-

Overall the process went along without too much drama and compared to the wait times I’ve read about on this forum I feel positively blessed, my main gripe with the experience is with the tracking and updates from BMW. The tracking function within My BMW/My Garage is kind of garbage, why have a tracking capability with established steps in the process to not update the tracking for each step? I know I’m not the only one to experience this issue as I’ve read several people on the forum having similar issues. I feel like if the tracking was better, there would be less “need” to pester the BMW Genius or your SA for status updates. That said, the BMW Genius line was extremely helpful during the process each time I called them.

Shipping went pretty smooth, my car left Vera Cruz on the Glovis Captain on 30 March, its first stop was Fort Lauderdale FL, then it went to Brunswick GA, Jacksonville FL, Charleston SC, and finally to Baltimore MD on 10 April where my car got off. 11 Days total from Mexico to the Baltimore VDC.

My car was processed through the new BMW vehicle distribution center (VDC) at the Tradepoint Atlantic Terminal in Sparrows Point, MD. This facility opened February 7th of this year and has the “ability” to process up to 100,000 vehicles annually, serving 126 BMW and Mini dealers in the Eastern and Central US. This new facility according to BMW nearly doubled the capability of the previous facility. I thought this was interesting so I figured I’d share it.

At some point during my car’s build, my SA called and told me that BMW was removing the M Performance Exhaust from builds due a to lack of availability; however, after being told this, the MPE remained on the build in the tracker and in my SA’s view in the system. After arriving at the Baltimore VDC, the exhaust remained on the build when the work order was updated in the system on 11 April according to my SA. After going on four weeks at the port, I asked my SA if there was any way to check if the VDC was waiting on the exhaust to come in and if so if they could just remove it from the build, as I’d rather get my car now (or sooner) as opposed to waiting an undetermined amount of time for the MPE to get shipped. Received a text the next day that I could request removal of the MPE and they would change to build and release the car! I sent an e-,ail request to remove the MPE and my car was released to the carrier that day and on a truck the following day.

My final wait began after my car was delivered… Had to be PDId and then wait for an appointment for tint and PPF which added an extra week to the timeline. I picked it up on Friday 20 May. Honestly, the wait time sucked but now that the car is here it didn’t seem so bad. If I had it to do over I’d have left the MPE off, that cost me a month itself.

Ain't that the truth. Status updates throughout our 5.5-month wait were extremely unreliable, both automated (My Garage) and from the "Genius" line. Lots of confusion and misinformation.

Initially was a week 20 build but got delayed to week 24.

Specs:

Tacora Red Interior
Aluminum Trim with Mesh effect

Also got this email response from BMW Genius: "Your 2022 BMW 330e Sedan began production June 2, 2022 and is estimated to be produced June 13, 2022". What do they mean by produced estimate? Is 2 weeks really all it takes for the entire production process?

BMW is only holding rates for six months now per my CA and I had to move to the higher November rate versus October; CA said this is a relatively new change with them being less flexible.

Has anyone had experiences with their order being stuck at Quality Check? It's coming up on 5 weeks now and it's still showing as the same status. Still comes up as 155 in the production code and Genius and SA didn't have any other details.

Congrats on the order! I have a similar build and timeline as you. I placed my order on 15 April, and (as of this very post) it hit "Entering the Assembly Line." This morning the production date was 7 June, but now its 3 June.

So if that holds, then the estimate you got should be a solid one. Good luck, friend!

Expectation management... my car hit production begins 1 Feb and final assembly 9 March. Production begins, doesn't actually mean your car is in the assembly line, exterior body assembly is where the car starts being assembled. From that point until final assembly only took 3 days for my car.

Aside from geography, nothing. There are certain paints and seat leather that are only available in Germany but other than that no real difference.

Thanks!
Tanzanite and Dravit are only available from Munich at this time. Per my CA, Harmon Karmon and Driver Pro packages were not a guarantee on Mexico allocations when my order was placed as well - not sure how true that ended up being.

Just heard from my CA yesterday that my car arrived in Galveston on the Arc Resolve and is currently at the Vehicle Processing Center. Unfortunately he also shared that I should expect a significant delay before it makes it to the dealership due to trucking challenges.
