No bad weather here just light showers. My CA did tell me last week it might take a week since the truck will be a full load. I don't want to call my CA due to being over anxious. Dealers pray on this and try to force up sales.

Hopefully for you soon and very soon. If yours arrive, I'll be in Houston this weekend. Maybe we could take a few pictures of our new arrivals the M240 and M230 ship mates.

Sounds great if I get this thing. Still in At the Port. I wonder if there is a problem with this vehicle or got damaged. I will never know since BMW or any company will never disclose this info. I will be looking this car over with a microscope, plus I have no problem ordering another.

Genius told me maybe next week. I asked what the issues were and if there was damage or mechanical issues. They would not disclose this info but they were checking the car to make sure everything was right. I might not except this vehicle and will start over, something doesn't seem right, my gut feeling. Anybody else that got stuck at the port for a while before delivery, if so how is your vehicle holding up?

Do you have any port installed options? That can do it for sure.

According to this https://sallaumlines.us/schedule/ it may be ahead of schedule, as the Ship has already moored twice in Baltimore... the Genius told me 4/15 for my car to be in NJ, but the schedule seems to indicate 4/16 for NJ

Yep, also was tracking this schedule that you shared. Happy to see that the Day X is approaching quickly for both of us!

Mine is currently sitting at "final assembly" and has been for close to two weeks. Genius confirmed last week that it was completed on 3/28 and is waiting for a carrier from the factory.

Been seeing some posts on Reddit that the Mexico factory is really not good about sending updates. (Certainly true in my case, as my tracker should be on "awaiting carrier assignment" at the very least.) I emailed my CA today but he didn't know anything more than that it's been built. It seems that without better real-time updates from the factory, neither the Genius folks nor the CA's can provide much in terms of useful info. Very frustrating because there's no way to know when it will even leave for the port.
