How long does it usually take from "Ready to Transport" to "Dealership"?
Hey All,
New to the bimmer world but I recently ordered an M240i xdrive at the dealership back in December 2022. At that time, the car was already built and are now still sitting at "Ready for Transport" status (so around 30 days have passed). Does anyone have a guesstimate how much longer do I still have to wait? |

For reference, I'm in Scotland UK, and I was: 5th Dec 22: Production Begins 10th Dec 22: Ready for Transport 16th Dec 22: Loaded onto the Horizon Highway ship 17th Jan 23: Arrived into destination port in the UK (after stops in US, Germany, & Belgium) I'm being told it should be ready to collect next week, and I expect it is arriving at the dealership today/tomorrow.

Mine shipped really fast from "ready to transport" to arrival at US port. What ya have to remember when the vehicle is "ready to transport" there may not be a ship ready to take it, and it could be a wait period for a ship to arrive, these don't run like NY taxi's, Plus they are gonna try to time the ships arrival period for a full load. The timing is just the luck of the draw in terms of how long. Then also to get to your dealer ya need overland transport from the arrival terminal...seems to me mine took as long for overland transport as it did for the ship carrier. But to your original question...sitting ready to transport for 30 days seems excessive. It should have moved by now. |

Mine completed production around Oct 26th and didn't make it to the dealership until Dec 12th. Waiting to get on a ship took a while but after it arrived in port in the US things sped up for me.

I called BMW Genius today regarding the status since it has been stuck in "ready for transport" status for 40+ days now. They told me there has been a recall on the passenger side airbag and obviously they are waiting for parts to have it fixed before they can get delivered? Has anyone else heard of this recall?

Mine shows the rear seat air bag cover needs to be replaced, but there's no remedy available as of now... No one is ever sitting back there so, maybe when I go in for my first service, they'll be able to complete that repair.
