you still waiting for yours?

You gotta get the BMW connected app, people seem to have problem with it based on the App Store reviews , but man, I have 12 pro and app just works great, 3d View from afar especially a great feature.

My CA never told me but i believe dealer didn't have allocation and I waited for one. He kept saying because it's a Germany order bla bla... having trouble believing him.

Castle Rock is not that far from me - a small world. This past week brought so much snow it was ridiculous. It was titled the fourth worse snowstorm/blizzard in over 100+ years. Probably the only silver lining of my vehicle not arriving yet.

Still waiting, no ETA as of yet. Both dates that I was given have passed thus far. The good news is that my MPE is still on my order, whereas others have been discontinued if not removed from their order altogether. I have the app but I'm scared of using it and slowing down the already slow process, also I would probably use the 3D view immediately.

That sucks that your dealer withheld that pertinent information from you. I am happy that your agonizing wait was ended with the arrival of your long-awaited car. I am currently sitting at 10 weeks since ordering and 3 weeks being at the VPC/VDC. Which has proved to be very trying and aggravating, to say the least. My CA says that my delay is due to a large number of hybrid vehicles that are being processed at VPC, removing attention from completing my port accessories. This sounds very far-fetched, but my CA has been very helpful and trustworthy throughout the process thus far.

Volans Leader docked in SoCal yesterday afternoon, 3-17-21. Dealer has not yet received an ETA and says they'll get it once the car is offloaded. That being said, according to the tracking thread info in the OP links the ships are notoriously slow to update systems so for example when the car is loaded and on the ship, the tracker doesn't actually reflect that until a day or two after the ship has already left port.

So I'm HOPING the same is true on the other end - my car is already offloaded and getting carbon fiber installed and will be on the way to the dealer by the time the dealer even gets the notification.

Estimated delivery is 3-18-21. Vessel is the Volans Leader.

According to the maritime trackers, it should hit the San Diego port on March 13th. Which means probably in 2-3 weeks is when it will go through the Panama Canal. I don't feel like subscribing to the tracker that gets you expected arrivals more than 24h out though so I'll just be tracking it daily unless someone who's already subscribed wants to post the info here for when it's expected to hit the locks. I do want to watch it go through.
Still "in transit", but port to port took 5 weeks.

In theory...BMWUSA website still says At The Port, dealership texted me to caution they have not yet received confirmation on dealer delivery. Took another day off work just in case today though...and it's nice weather out...so I'll probably just go for a run or something and bide my time today.

I took Thursday - Tuesday off work (from last week to today) for the same "enjoy my car fully over the weekend" reason...caught up on a ton of errands and stuff I needed to get done so it's been productive, but...I'm just crossing my fingers it actually arrives this Friday. If it doesn't I might just drive down to LA myself and take it from there. Lol.

I on the other hand have to wait patiently as this would be my first car in a while

Glad that my new car made it from Baltimore to the dealer last night, and I'm hoping to pick it up tomorrow.

Question - the CA told me about an "All Surface Environmental Protection" that he says is endorsed by BMW. I hadn't heard about this on my last two cars or on my wife's. Anyone looked into this? I usually haven't bought this type of product on other cars but I just wanted to see if anyone thinks this is worth $799.

Thanks

I think it all depends on your own situation with your vehicle, personal habits, and family. Do you anticipate $799 in damage to your leather and or upholstery? I would say save yourself the money and treat your fabrics, carpets, seats with a waterproof protectant, ceramic coating for leather, and or a sealant for a fraction of the cost through the life of the vehicle.
