That means you should be at port by this time next week.

I have just about the same build - I left off the ceramic controls, heated wheel, and remote control parking. Interested to see what the Azurite + Mocha combo looks like - I have seen each of them separately but never on the same car. Have you?

I was assigned PW44 but I think I was pulled in to PW43. Currently "awaiting carrier assignment," for about the last 3 days. Perhaps we'll share a boat, although I'm on the west coast. Do east and west coasts get separate ships, or do they stop on the east coast then head west?

Good luck!

Nice! Glad to see things moving along quickly for everyone at the factory! I have no idea how the shipping works, but I think "Awaiting Carrier Assignment" means it's still at the factory, then once assigned we'll move to the port and be on our way.

I've not seen Azurite/Mocha on the same car, but at my dealership I saw a Mocha/Fineline Matte interior on an X3, and immediately next to it in the showroom an Azurite M5. So I was at least able to see all three selections with my own eyes in a single "view". I don't think we'll be disappointed!

You're a couple steps further along than I am, I think. Hope you get yours in time for Christmas!

The actual build of car is 4-5 days. Then you have 3 day trip by train to port. Once at port you could be there for 3 days to 2 weeks, this is where you are awaiting for your ship assignment. East coast usually has more vessels with shorter wait times. This is my second go around and my last order sat for 2 weeks at port. Once it arrives and you have the car to your spec, you forget about the long wait.

Also Ordered an M550i…

Moving away from my ‘15 750i and into a ‘19 M550i that I just ordered yesterday (build specs below). I suspect I’ll be posting questions as I start planning for my typical mods like wheel spacers, grills, badges, tinting, and CF trim pieces. Let the long, painful wait begin!

Dark Graphite Metallic
Mocha Nappa Leather
Aluminum Rhombicle Trim
20" 668M wheels w/MPSS non run-flats
Driving Assistance Plus Package
Executive Package
Parking Assistance Package
Premium Package
Ceramic Controls
Heated front seats
Leather Dashboard

Ya, I had front seat massage in my 7 and I agree, it is quite nice. I believe it only comes with ventilated seats however, and I found those to be much more firm for me (e.g., less comfortable) than seats w/o ventilation. With regard to Driving Assistance Plus…Now that is a MUST HAVE for me being a LA area driver. I use it every day.

I see, makes sense, however the 2015 7 series massage seats are known as active seats and are completely different from the 2018-2019 massage seats. It now acts how an average massage chair would feel like where you can select the part of your body the massage will be in.

Has anyone seen progress on mygarage over the past week(after they serviced the site)?

I've also been stuck (in the paint booth) for over a week. Wondering if it's true, or if the website has not been updated recently?

I am farther along in the process, but yes, mine updated (Transit > Port > Transit > Dealership) on the appropriate days.

Yes, I have. Went from at port to in transit on Tuesday. Maybe you could try Bmw North America *1 (800) 831-1117‬ and see if it has a different status.

Same - almost two weeks now for me. Have you asked Genius?

Is it clear to you exactly what this status means (what 3-digit status code it maps to)? The "tooltips" for this and the other status "dots" on mygarage suggest that this step is status 182 (since the dot following this is "dispatched from factory") - but Genius has told me the car is actually at the port since 10/24 - which sounds more like status 193 or 194. Genius either doesn't have or won't share a 3-digit status code.

From the sticky post:
Quote:
180 Waiting for Export Dispatch
181 Waiting for Domestic Dispatch
182 Schedule for Carrier
190 In transit to port of exit
191 Returned to BMW AG
193 Arrived at Port of Exit
194 Selected for Shipment
195 Shipped from Port of Exit
196 Shipment Arrival at destination port?

Thanks. I've been assuming 182 but who knows. Haven't called Genius yet but I will when I get back to the US in a couple days.

Update: status changed on mygarage this AM to "Dispatched from factory."

Genius says it's now on its way to the port, not yet assigned to a vessel. This seems to align with the descriptions on the website. But it's pretty inconsistent with what previous Genius told me (which was that it's been at the port since 10/24). I guess YMMV, as with anything.

Could be the same ship. My ship stopped in Baltimore, is now going through the Panama Canal and then to Cali.
