Same! Fingers crossed they get through and have carriers assigned quickly. I may call genius today to get some estimates

RFT since 10/27, destination NY. Hoping for some status changes this week. Would love to take delivery before Christmas!

Not sure if I updated in here but I am at the port now with my order placed 10/12 and RFT 11/6.

If I am reading this correctly it looks like the east coast people north of Brunswick did not make the last ship. The question now is when will the next ship get to Mexico ports picking up those of us left behind on the last round.

Theres 2 down there now one is headed to altamira or is already there. the grand champion should be there shortly.

theres about a 25min wait with genius so im waiting for call back. emailed CA no response. app still says RFT

It’s seems like a lot of the people in port right now had a production week 44 and earlier mine is in Brunswick now as well going to Tampa going to ask my CA see if they have a car carrier as they are only 4hours away and can probably drop off and get back within DOT regulations lol.

Do we know that those are headed north of Brunswick for sure?

I can’t believe everybody going to Brunsick was picked up and we were left behind. I’m disappointed. Cheers to everyone receiving their cars!

The Grand Champion is heading to Altamira now it looks like. I really hope we are there waiting to get picked up since Altamira appears to be overflow warehouse storage.

The Grand Champion is listed on the Brunswick 15day outlooks for 12/03... but i dont know how to look up stuff for Baltimore.

thats awesome!! congrats and very Interesting...

Im guessing the closer locations got shipped first from Veracruz, fill up a ship then another ship comes picks up the rest then heads to Altamira for more that are further away. but idk just speculation at this point CA had no further info. Maybe later today or tomorrow

[Myfirst3Series]

The only thing that can be counted on is that at some point another ship will show up and pick up more cars, beyond that the criteria for getting on that ship is anyone's guess as in some cases people have been sitting in RFT for a short period of time and get on, and others continue to wait. As had been posted in prior posts and other threads once you go into RFT you are basically in a black hole until you move to In Transit. Once you move to In Transit you can find out what ship you are on and track closely from there. I am in the RFT black hole since 10/27 now and just hope I flip this week as this coming Thursday is my 5 week anniversary of being in RFT.

On a side note, I sold my car I am using for the down payment on Driveway.com as I have been monitoring my cars value for around 6 weeks now on all the on-line buying services (Cargurus, Carmax, Caravana, Vroom, Driveway, etc.). It was going down, down, down, and finally went back up again last week so I pulled the trigger and sold it for $30,500. 2022 Subaru Outback (Needed a practical car after my 2016 Camaro SS). My wife just got a new AWD SUV so I was able to get a "Cool Car" again. So I am very anxious to get that car delivered so I can begin break-in. Waiting on a Brooklyn Grey 330i X-Drive with all options including M sport, Adaptive Suspension, All Black Wheels, Blue Calipers, etc. I also ordered the OBDLinkCX so I can use the Bimmercode App to play with settings, got the floating BMW center caps, Tow Hook License plate holder, and am holding off on more serious perf mods until I break the car in.

Love all the mods you are accumulating, are there any concerns things like the downpipes or Cold Air will void the BMW factory warranty?

Thank you, im trying to do it right but slow and tasteful.

Well from my experience if something fails they manufacture has to prove the after market part caused failure... But this is my first time modding a BMW luckily these are all mods i can do and remove my self except for cutting the exhaust to fit the mid pipe.

I dont plan on messing with downpipes and a tune until i have had the car for about a year and fully paid for. Stock power seems plenty for now

The only other thing that might be a factor is that I am doing Performance Center Delivery. Maybe something with the scheduling for that got me on a ship so quick?

I did some BF shopping and here's the list of parts. Some arrived today:

• Heritage roundels
• Heritage center caps
• Puddle lights
• M Essentials Kit from IND (front and rear reflectors and spacers)
• Euro sun visors
• Rogue Engineering license plate bracket
• CS alcantara steering wheel

And a couple things I ordered a month or so ago:

• Mishimoto skid plate (I've had this sitting in the garage for over a month)
• Bimmercode and OBD dongle

Maybe that does play a part in it all i know is im ready to see her get here.

I started ordering things for it as soon as i had a build date. Now to decide on a plate lol.
hell yea nice list. that could be it i would love to see that steering wheel. gotta link?

I am kinda eying the f87 shift knob to go with the carbon trim

I ordered it from PaddleShifterz in Germany based on a recommendation from someone else here on the forum. There are some aftermarket options out there that are a little cheaper and I think IND will take the OEM M Performance wheel, remove the leather top and bottom, and replace it with alcantara. I wanted an unmodified, OEM part like I had in my E90. getbmwparts doesn't have this listed yet but I'm sure they eventually will. I just didn't want to wait.

Oh I forgot to mention that I decided on a plate. I had a list of ideas but several were already taken. I just hope no one else in FL has the same idea before my car gets here.
