Thanks I'll update as well since it's likely we'll be on the same ship 😎

I'm still not even at the port (final assembly) but it's supposed to be waiting for transport now.

I am in Final Assembly (160) as well. Called genius earlier this week and at that time had been in Production Begins since 02/01. He told me that their system showed a completion date of 02/16 and to remain patient - that on or about that date my tracking steps would begin to advance rapidly. He was 100% correct - in the past 24 hours I've advanced six steps. Was beginning to get worried that my frozen paint option was causing delays.

Let's hope that we advance rapidly to port and get on a ship ASAP. Abrandonment, if you get any updates let us know - I will do the same.

Nice!

There's a chance you catch the port and get on the same ship as mine, at this rate...along with a few others here.

My CA called to say my car is at the port in Galveston this morning.

I just checked the website, and it says it is "in transit" (status 195) as well! So I'm guessing ours were on the same ship.

I had been checking the website a couple of times a day, and hadn't seen anything other than "ready for transport" (status 165).

Now, we wait to see how long it takes at the port for the port installed accessories.

With you being in the Houston area, yours could be happening SOON!

I never even found out that my car was on a ship or anything...

abrandonment Hopefully yours hits the port soon and catches a ship quicker than mine!

LOL

That would be awesome!

Also, I wanted to double check and make sure which of the "in transit" steps I was on: before being on the ship, or after.

So I called the Genius and they said I've been on a vessel since the 16th and was due to land today. So their info must be just a bit behind the CA, which is consistent with what others have said.

Ship name: ARC Resolve

So now I know for sure it's at the stateside port.

195: Feb 19 ARC Resolve 4 day travel left 2/16. Could take 3 weeks at most for delivery to dealer.

Indeed, we are on the same ship 😎. I had to make a call regarding the matter. The ship has a capacity of 2000 cars, and each one must undergo a thorough inspection, including software updates and any necessary port-installed options. Once these processes are completed, the vehicles will be ready for delivery to the dealership. So seems still could be a little wait. Feels great to be so close.

I was lucky enough to get to see a ZB with the carbon package at my dealer before I ordered mine. It solidified that it is the fantastic car with a lot of potential. I was partial to BGM and wanted an automatic so I passed on the one in store but it was really great to see it first up close.

That's awesome, the first dealer I went to, they had a BGM M4 manual on the floor and the presence of that car was amazing. The hips truly don't lie. I'm glad the hips on the M2 look bigger. BGM was a must for me

Do you have any port-installed options? I can't remember if you've already mentioned them.

I have the MP HAS suspension and a carbon fiber rear diffuser to be installed at the port. I think that's it.

I was GOING to get into those vessel tracking sites, but that phase of the process completely got skipped because I guess our cars were on the ship over the long weekend. LOL. May have been a blessing in disguise, honestly! haha

I ended up ordering mine just a few days after seeing one for the first time in person at the local dealership. It was a manual transmission and the CA let me test drive it.

Couldn't resist after that!

Absolutely, our cars will be side by side getting MP HAS installed 😄 its going to look great. I'm glad I haven't test drove a BMW let alone the G chassis, or else it would make the wait worse. I'm coming from a 2020 Accord and wanted something sporty lol.
