Are you doing Performance Center in SC? If not, since you are in Boston, wouldn't your car ship to Baltimore?

I'm doing Performance Center delivery, then road tripping back to Boston. Hence the Georgia port of call.

Congratulations to everyone who made it onto Glovis Spirit!

I have been stuck in Ready for Transport (165) since 05/02/23.

I am a BMW CA and most of the time we are just as much in the dark as you all during this part of the process. The only updates we get are through internal system (DCS) - which has been having issues lately.

With that being said, I am not sure if Morning Concert is going to be picking up any of our cars. According to importinfo.com they have never taken a load of BMW cars in the past.

Hopefully I am wrong and those of us that missed Glovis Spirit will get loaded up within the next couple days.

Cross your fingers!

DCS updated finally, so my CA confirmed that I am on the Glovis. ETA for delivery to NJ VPC is 6/14. But my CA said the same thing you did, that it is running 6 days late. So I'll assume 6/20.

Unfortunate for me, because final delivery is inching quite close to 4th of July, and I'll be out of town.

Potentially could get put on the Toscana if not the Morning Concert. Importinfo shows that Toscana has taken BMW's in the past. I have been RFT since 04/29.

My car was RFT (165) since 05/16 and I made it on the Glovis, did your car not get aboard this vessel?

I hope we make it on Toscana! I noticed they have been hanging around the port.

We should know within the next couple days!

I don't think I made it on Glovis Spirit.

My car is still showing Ready for Transport on BMWUSA and In Transit from the plant to the port (status 165) on our BMW system (DCS).

Here is a little fun fact that I uncovered doing some research in DCS earlier.

There are 93 M240i xDrive's and 23 M240i's in transit / on a boat to their respective VPC's.

There are 145 M240i xDrive's and 55 M240i's that are produced not shipped / waiting for a boat.

*NOTE* This is only US models.

Do you have those numbers for M2's?

There are 126 M2's produced not shipped / waiting for a boat.

Cool cool, crazy to think what % of produced M2's are on the Glovis Spirit lol

For those hoping to get on the Morning Concert, it’s now in port. Rooting for you all who missed GS.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way for us to know Glovis' schedule without a paid subscription to MarineTraffic.

I have one and it still doesn’t say. My hunch is it’ll head in tomorrow and be back out by Monday.

That being said, some good news. GS has moved up 1 day in the 15 day outlook;

Twin Toronto Reds making their way north. Will you be in a hurry to get back to Boston? I’m hoping to take the scenic route home to NY though it depends on when I actually end up taking delivery.

Actual schedule is TBD, but my initial plan is to drive up to Ashville after I leave the performance center and hit up the blue ridge parkway briefly before staying at a hotel there.

Then day 2 will go through the tail of the dragon and finish in West Virginia where my wife has family. We'll spend a couple of days there before doing another day of driving up to NYC, staying a night in that area and making the short (ish) drive back the next afternoon.

Jealous, I haven't done the Tail in forever. Sounds like a great time!

Ha! That’s my itinerary, minus visiting the wife’s Mountaineers. I’ll probably stay at the Tapaco Lodge by the Dragon.

Glovis Spirit is in port!

Sweet dreams all.
