I am also on Glovis Companion, slated for arrival at VPC on 3/5, per Genius.

My dealer is located in NY.

I was told the same!! That i can take it as soon as it comes in if i like it… It’s almost the same as my build minus parking assist. Mine’s also on the Glovis Companion… I’m not so patiently waiting trying to figure out if it’ll be 2, 3, or 4 weeks lol… Hope it’s soon!!

MarineTraffic this morning shows the Glovis Companion leaving Tampa and heading back to Mexico. Did they forget something?

I have the same doubt, why is it going back

[T_U_D]

FYI, The VPC at Port Brunswick is allegedly severely backed up.

First time I’ve tracked a boat from Mexico. I’ve done it several times from Germany and I could go to the Wallenius website and download schedules for each of their ships.

I can’t find a schedule posted online for G. Companion so who knows if this is normal or not.

If BMW isn’t releasing them until mid April anyway, I guess an extra week cruising the Gulf of Mexico won’t matter. But with all that time at sea, they should have painted mine Gulf Blue or Mexico Blue.

Reminds me of 2008 when I was tracking my E93 and all of us on the forum were talking about pirates hijacking the boat and stealing our cars.

My photoshop skills were first rate.

You'd think image skills would be first rate with that handle

Indeed, the photoshop is an E92 unless you did a typo for the E93 part.

Not sure why I did that but I might have had trouble finding a good E93 shot at the time.

I loved everything about it except the stiff ride from the runflats.

That is why one of the first mod I did on the E91 and E90 was wheels with performance tires and a tire repair kit w/ compressor.

Guess it gives more time to decide and if something comes up for auction that I liked. Idk if I want this car anymore I’ve been really indecisive about it the past week or 2

Maybe wait till you see in person… I’m still very excited about it!! Worse comes to worse, you change your mind. You shouldn’t have a prob finding a buyer

Meanwhile, Glovis Companion has nearly reached Mexico again.

Are we about to get on the ship and BMW’s tracking website is ahead? Seems unlikely. If anything it’s usually behind a day or two.

Did we get loaded on the boat last week and went to Tampa and back for nothing? Can’t imagine that’s true.

Would they unload BMW’s in Tampa? Nope.

I’m so confused.

Ordered 2024 Mexico build.
Shipped to Tampa - vessel arrived 2 days ago- same vessel is now heading back to Mexico. Neither dealer nor Genius can offer insight as to whether land transport or another vessel ? Any thoughts or similar experiences ?

Last March when I spoke for a M2 that was on its way from Mexico the car ended up at the Baltimore port. The dealer was in KC MO. Baltimore is 1076 miles from KC MO. Tampa is 1255 miles away. So Baltimore was closer.

In your case while I don't know where you live in MA and don't need to know it is 1255 miles from Tampa to Amherst MA (1255 miles with tolls).

While that's a fair distance probably the car will be shipped by truck from Tampa to MA.

If your car goes by truck from Tampa the truck will carry a full load of vehicles though probably not all destined for MA. Some will be marked for delivery on the way to MA. And maybe he would pick up a vehicle to take its place.

Without referring to my notes I recall the car was some time at the port until truck transportation could be arranged. But it is to some extent luck that determines this. I (seem to) recall some reported their vehicle got on a truck PDQ but most were in the same boat (no pun) I was in. Waiting for a truck to pick up the car (cars) and head to the dealer(s).
