From my SM,


“I have news from NA. DCS is not getting updates. I have been told the vehicle is on the Glovis Spirit Schedule for an ETA at Brunswick on the 4th. I also have inquired on the PIA and have yet to hear back but from what I have been told vehicles that have PIA’s are prioritized on processing. Will update when we hear more”

I would be happy to do it the same day as you, would be fun to get a picture with our pair of Toronto Red G87's. I'm supposed to be traveling for work the last week of June, but I might be able to move things around if I get a date offered to me. I'm hoping for a first week of July (my rate lock expires 7/5)


RE: your second post, Exciting! what do DCS and PIA mean?

Not sure on DCS, a CA Game or Rx-7ames could tell us, probably their internal system.

PIA: Port install accessories.

Game It’s almost Noon in Chicago, have you gotten the keys yet???

I already have my PC delivery person from prior visits, she’s awesome and we’ve been in touch thru this ordeal.

what makes you come to that conclusion? What's your current status?

You keep questioning my detective work…

Almost every other thread on bimmerpost I've seen has people go from 182->193->195 in a matter of hours. And once you are on 195 you are already on a boat in the ocean (so you also were when you hit 182 and 193). So if you are in that sequence there's a good chance you are actually on a boat.

Man, since my car needs to make it to Galveston, I am hoping I get on the Morning Concert this week! I have been RFT since 4/29!

[cmgbk75]

Ok, I’ll heading out for a long ride on my Beemer to celebrate my Bimmer making it out to sea.

Here’s the latest on Glovis Spirit. It’s currently At Anchor in Altamira.

My SM says 6/4 for Brunswick but the 15 day says otherwise. 6/4 seems optimistic to me.

Why am I not surprised reading that about the DCA. Totally believe it.
For my own benefit, was the GENIUS oblivious of the fact that you were on Glovis?

Really looks to be a disorganized bunch. I do understand and appreciate the intricacies of supply chain but don’t offer the capability if you can’t keep it up to date.

[M2Jorge]

Now my status says at the port, well see if it updates to in transit soon.

The "waiting for a truck" thing seems to be a false alarm, I just hit

"At the port - Your BMW has arrived at the port. (Bon voyage!)" (status 193)

I'm tempted to call BMW genius again but I'll wait until tomorrow... probably.

Mine went from RFT to 'at the port' today too

Rumor has it we might’ve made it in to the Glovis Spirit

[Hypori]

Anyone from the West coast that's in the Ready For Transport stage?

[Squidget]

Yay, I also updated to 193! So I'm hoping all us east coasters made the Glovis!

Since I'm in NE, however, I can't figure out when the Glovis would hit Baltimore. Anyone with better search-fu than me have an idea?

[Squidget]

As you predicted, I just updated to 195 "In Transit". Happy day!

[cmgbk75]

Well, I guess it’s official now. It’ll be a lot more satisfying tracking THE actual ship now. Hope it doesn’t pull any Grand Pioneer nonsense.

Congrats to all my fellow sailors.

Congrats.

Hard to say with knowing where else it’s stopping, minimum 2 days, max 7. You’re CA would have an eta.

And no, the Genius didn’t know shit about shit.

[M2Jorge]

Congrats everyone! Lets hope for smooth sailing from here on out.

I mean they are the GENIUS …

Here is a good use of ChatGPT finally:

G - Great at reminding everyone else how unintelligent they are.

E - Expert at making ordinary people feel intellectually inadequate.

N - Never misses an opportunity to drop random scientific facts into casual conversations.

I - Incredibly skilled at overcomplicating simple tasks to show off their intelligence.

U - Unapologetically condescending, because geniuses know they're the smartest people in the room.

S - Socially awkward to the point where small talk feels like a foreign language to them.

🤣!

Mine is, just hit it today. It will be going to BMW Portland.

[CodeSlinger]

My salesperson sent me the status page confirming I'm on the Glovis Spirit (which I already knew thanks to the forum). Interestingly the "estimated arrival date" is listed as 6/3, but it left Veracruz 6 days after the "estimated departure date" so I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up getting to Brunswick on 6/9.
