Mine is also showing at port. BMW genius and the dealer said it should arrive by Saturday. I'm probably gonna pick it up on Monday! Hope yours comes soon too! It's been a long journey

This link shows the vehicle vessels arrival and departures at the port of Altimara .It begins on page 2

I haven’t been able to identify any of the itineraries that are applicable to them though
Is Altamira the only port used, the genius I talked to the other day mentioned cars leaving from veracruz

I base my comments regarding Altamira as the port of departure on past experiences others on this thread have mentioned. Plus Altamira is about 250 miles miles from the BMW plant, and Veracruz is about 450 miles from the plant.

Guess if the genius mentioned it I wouldn’t discount it though

Based on this article your conversation with the BMW genius validates Veracruz as a possibility as well

Hey Grand Pioneer buddies... Told you I was at the end of the line; the vessel ported into Boston at 5am this morning. Given that; hopefully will take delivery within the next week. The rest of you will have a few clicks on your odometers by the time I get in mine for the first time!

Nice! We’re all so close to making this dream real! Send photos when you pick up.

It’s a race between who gets it first now. Hahaha

BMW Genius informed me that despite my tracker still saying At the Port, the vehicle was dispatched on a carrier on 4/11 and has been in transit to Chicago and was expected to arrive today. That's all I've got for now

Thanks!! Just have to tint the windows now.

BTW, it took 2 days to transport from port to dealer/prep but again, the Baltimore port to the dealer was only 30 minutes.

Last time I checked with the Genius, my car had been completed
April 8, and departed the factory April 13. But that all the information he had at the time.

Checked this morning, and once again with the Genius, and validated that the car did depart the factory April 13.(although in "my garage", it still shows ready for transport)

All this time, based on reading other posts on this board, I assumed the car was going to the port of Altamira, but today the Genius said it departed by train headed for Veracruz. It is 450 miles from the factory to the Port of Veracruz, so if indeed it went there, it should now be sitting there waiting on a ship assignment. Genius did not have a ship yet.

So now, I am checking ship shedules for departs from Veracruz, that stop in Brunswick.

Isn't this fun. kind of like whack-a-mole

Just relax and enjoy the fact that you've got a new car coming. We live in a world of Amazon Prime next day and instant streaming videos. The car will come and you will enjoy it.. Ordered mine in mid-February and have yet to call Genius..When the car arrives (probably next week) I'll pick it up.. look forward to it, don't kill yourself for updates..

Good advice. Thank you.

My wife says I give good advice, but never take it.
She's probably right.

Just called the Genius line to see if they had port or ship information. The person I spoke with said the car was finished on the 5th but there was no indication of any movement since then. He suggested I call my CA since the dealer may have access to more information than he does. Looks like I may still be at the factory.

Genius just told me it is delayed and expected to arrive at the dealer on the 19th. I took the Monday off hoping it’d arrive tomorrow and I’ll spend a couple of days with it

I don’t mind the wait as much as not knowing

My CA text me earlier today (after I had already spoke to the genius), and said my car sitting at the port waiting on a boat assignment. I didn’t follow up with to verify it was Veracruz as the genius had said.

Another long weekend
