Saw my first bluestone two years ago driving by and made me do a double take. Had no idea at the time what color it was but was jaw dropping. Flash forward and here I am with my first custom order. Sadly it's delayed. Was supposed to dock tomorrow the 20th at Port Hueneme but instead it's not coming in until the 24th at Port of Long Beach. Dunno why the delay but bummed. Still hoping to pick up between the 27th-29th or else going to have to wait until the following weekend.

My bluestone is delayed as well. Ship was scheduled into Brunswick on the 20th as well, but now showing arrival on the 26th. Maybe there was weather or strong currents in the Atlantic.

Congratulations to both of you!

Did your status change online, or you got this information by tracking the ships?

By tracking the ship through marinetraffic.com. Actually just remembered to look at the status when I saw your post. Says it's back at port so when it says in transit I'll know it's on a truck.

Thanks! I plan on showing timeline once I actually finalize everything. I know that was beneficial to me to compare timelines of others before me. Seems more of the tracking on here comes from the east coast.

If dealer is using BMW financial, you signing off on 57% doesn't mean much because your lease deal will be based on the program offered at the time you take delivery.

Keep an eye here to learn the current programs and make sure if the numbers change in your favor, the dealer honors them.

I've not heard of a dealer asking a customer to sign off on lease numbers for an ordered car that will show up 2-3 months later.

I took another look and it is 59%. Also, by signing off I meant the break down of the numbers and incentives were "signed off" by me showing that this is the purchase price and incentives we agreed upon prior to putting in the order. It's not a done deal yet but gives me some room if they try to pull something funny like they never saw that price before.

Called BMW Genius and was told finished processing at VPC today and was assigned a carrier. Expected to be at the dealership by this Friday Of course they couldn't tell me which carrier, said they couldn't give that out because the carriers wouldn't know how to field that amount of customer inquiries . At least I know it's pretty much here so hope to pick up this weekend.

Wow, awesome guys!! Slowly but surely everyone is getting their cars.

Congrats!! Hope Friday comes really quick

Do you guys know how long your timeline was after reaching the port to completing the VPC process and getting a carrier assignment?

Thanks!

Mine reached the port on Friday. When I called BMW Genius on Saturday, they didn’t have any update. They didn’t even know the ship had arrived. I called back on Monday and they said it was assigned a carrier, scheduled to depart Brunswick on Wednesday, and arrive at dealer in Ft Lauderdale on Friday.

They did tell me that it can take anywhere from 1 day to 2 weeks from arrival at the port to being put on a carrier.

Here’s an update from my previous post.
My dealer just texted me to say that the car was actually put on the carrier and left the VPC yesterday and arrived at the dealership today!
So the information BMW Genius gave me yesterday was not correct.
(They said it was scheduled to leave on Wednesday, arriving Friday).
