If you look at RightYouAreKen's timeline, he didn't receive a change to "In Transit" until today and didn't get confirmation that his car was on a ship until today. The ship his car is on left the port two days ago. A tracking system that inaccurate is bound to leave people feeling frustrated, especially when some steps are skipped for some cars and not for others. Then combine that with multiple examples of cars being built later but being put on ships earlier, it's definitely stressful. The email I sent to Genius on Sunday was pretty direct about my confusion in regards to this, and while the rep was nice enough, all I received back was a vague reply about "different factors" and whatnot. I am hopeful that all of us with East Coast port of entry cars make it onto Glovis Sun - even though we might not know about it until a couple of days after it departs. |

Exactly. Definitely seems like some kind of lag in their tracking systems. The myBMW app still shows my status as RFT even though I’m on the ocean apparently. Hope you east coast guys get some good news soon!

My CA is great. He just sent me an email confirming that it should be offloaded and on a truck next week and that'll give a more concrete arrival time. He also suggested setting up the BMW app. I had to resist letting him know the level of tracking I had already been doing on this silly car LOL

Cepheus Leader has just docked in Port Hueneme CA.
Edit: Website status changed to At The Port (which is a prior status to In Transit). Others have said it'll bounce back and forth during the ocean/truck shipping phase. Mobile app still is at Ready For Transport. Edit 2: The mobile app now also has updated to At The Port. Last edited by RightYouAreKen; 05-02-2024 at 11:51 AM.. |

So I did some digging through the last ~18 months in this forum to find out what ships people actually got on and the pattern is pretty consistent. I don't know who some of these carriers are because it's shockingly hard to find that out on this side of a paywall.
USA West Coast: Almost all ships are Leaders. Lyra Leader, Aphrodite Leader, Aries Leader, and now of course Cepheus Leader. There was also Green Ridge, but who knows what that was about. USA East Coast: Aside from a few Grands (Grand Eagle, Grand Pioneer, Grand Ruby), they've all been Hyundai Glovis, whose website it very unhelpful. These ships have names like Glovis Champion, Glovis Star, Glovis Sunrise, etc.. Of the 14 east cost ships I found in this forum, 10 were Glovis. This gives me hope that Glovis Sun, which is due in Veracruz today, is our winner. Fingers crossed! |

Another update, not sure if you see this on your end but the M240 has been released to transport. This means it could be here in the next 5-10 days depending on trucking. Very exciting! |

Info from my CA:
"Currently we have about 15-20 cars stuck at the Mexico port, reason for this being transportation has been short in the month of April in terms of boats picking up cars to bring them to Jersey. This info came from BMW themselves, as we reached out to check the status after noticing them not moving for a while (including yours). We are waiting for another update from them as of now, hopefully giving us a more accurate ETA" I let him know I was hoping my car would make it onto Glovis Sun and asked him to let me know if he found out that it did so. Overall, sounds like cars have piled up in Mexico and it's caused delays. |

That sounds about right. My car was finished on March 21, so even if it’s on Glovis Sun we’re looking at 3rd week of May for delivery - right about 2 months.

Mine was done on 23rd April. Not sure when the delivery would be. Dealer mentioned that it should be in the next weeks. Hoping it will make it on Glovin Sun

One of the things I found while digging though the archives of this forum was this neat little video about what (hopefully) is currently happening in Veracruz.

yeah, having our cars sit in mexico for 6 weeks is definitely not how either of us imagined this going. I'm keeping an eye on it with vessel finder, but it's still in port. we probably won't know until a day or two after it heads out.

EDIT: it's heading to Altamira. BMW was shipping some cars out of that port late last year, so it's possible that they could still be doing so. based on what I've read, not even the Genius folks know which port a car is sent to (which seems...bizarre) Last edited by td1439; 05-04-2024 at 02:08 PM.. |
