This is very sad but true, sales here are just too lazy or like you said, the system is not so transparent somehow. Yesterday when I saw the info, I told another friend who also ordered a M340i back in Aug. He then turned to his sales and ask if VIN is available, Sales: we just got the VIN today! (Turned out the vessel that might be shipping our cars is called Hoegh Osaka which is expected to arrive Taiwan on Nov 11.) On the other hand, my sales is still scratching his head I guess...let's see if I can get my VIN soon. |

There is an area to enter you VIN, but it doesn't give me a result. |

Hoegh Osaka - looks like it's almost out of the Red Sea. Interestingly enough, the Hoegh Osaka nearly capsized back in 2015. Looks like they got it back up and running again!

Customer Relations told me last night that my car should be at the dealership tomorrow. I just emailed my CA and asked him to let me know as soon as the transport arrives so I can drive over to at least see the car.
Hoping Monday is a realistic day to get the car home, if so.

My car hit the port sunday this past week and its still not in. Was hoping to have it today, but thats not looking promising. Genius line says its "supposed" to be delivered tomorrow (Saturday). I am starting to lose faith in their estimating system. |

Their tracking is all over the place, because I just checked again and according to the BMW site > My Garage, my car is now.... Might go take a drive there and see if I can check it out in person. Assuming it's actually there, of course.

I ordered a 21 that's in transit currently. Does in Transit mean it's on a truck to the dealer? It skipped a bunch of steps to in transit. So it's already past the port? I had a front lip and side skirts to be installed. The whole process so far has only been 4 weeks! Is this accurate? Is it because I'm in California and Mexico isn't so far so it doesn't require the same type of transport? I can't imagine them needing to Ship the car when it can be driven or brought by land via train or Truck?

Has anyone else with a car shipping out of Germany heard anything? Mine will be going into week 3 of waiting at the port soon.

My car was just delivered to the dealership today! And of course my dealer teases me with pics of it then says it should be ready to pick on Monday :/
This is great news but sucks knowing it's 20 minutes away and can't pick it up till then : |

Weird - I was at the port for maybe 2-3 days before getting loaded on a ship. Mine wasn't going to North America though, so maybe there are just fewer ships going to NA?

So some good news, some bad news. Opposite of how I usually do it, I'll start with the good. The car has ARRIVED....FINALLY....AFTER 4.5 months!!!!
BUT.................. I can't drive it home for another week or so, until they can get it registered for me. Not sure why it can't be done sooner, but I assume it's related to COVID and the turnaround time with the MA RMV. As soon as I saw the update on the BMW site > My Garage that the car was at the dealership, I asked my CA if I could at least swing by and see the car in person. He had the day off, but he arranged it so the car would be waiting out front for me. And man, my jaw almost dropped when I finally saw it for the first time: They LISTENED! I had been told on Friday that I should be able to drive the car home on Saturday, but evidently there was some confusion on the dealership's end in terms of transferring plates from my leased Accord to the M340i. And turns out, it can't be done. So here I am, yet again, WAITING. At least it's here and I should be driving it within the week. SHOULD. But the way all this BS has gone up to this point, I wouldn't be shocked if there was some other hiccup along the way. Because #2020. (I have a ton more photos of it, but I'll save those for the proper "Introduction" thread once I get that started)

Congrats!! Love the cognac interior!! I was too chicken to order cognac but I gotta say, it looks great!
Hope the DMV drama can be worked out in a day or two instead of a week. A week seems insane...
