Yep. The Morning Charlotte left Bremerhaven on Jan-27. Supposed to arrive Port Hueneme (LA) on Feb-24 by way of Zeebrugge, Southampton, and Baltimore.

I figured your build might go overland from Baltimore to Knoxville.

Thanks for posting the details on your build and timeline. My build has all packages except DHP. I went Alpine White, Black Nappa, Burl Walnut, and stock wheels/tires. I skipped the backseat stuff but got the sunshade, fancy instrument cluster, and B&W. For me, comfort was a bigger priority than pure performance. Not that the M550i will be a slouch in the latter department...

I'm not sure if I got lucky with my dealer having an allocation or the package/option/color specifics make a difference. But here's my timeline:

Dec-24 -- Order placed (There is a Santa Claus!)
Jan-16 -- Build scheduled for completion
Jan-19* -- Status: Otis Redding (sitting on the dock of the bay)
Jan-30* -- On the Morning Charlotte (In the English Channel when I checked)


The asterisks indicate the two times I called BMW Genius.
