Have you tried asking an actual person on the phone line? The automated system can be pretty far behind sometimes.

I don't remember exactly how long my car took, but I think it was about 5 days from when production was finished to when the car reached the port.

Still patiently waiting

Yup, waiting is not fun. Looks like we'll get our cars at the same time. Much faster shipping to the east coast.

Mine is only scheduled to get to CA on the 26th.

Trying to patiently wait

Completion was on May 30 and released to carrier on June 1

I'm hoping to receive by June 25
I'm located in NYC

I am also getting bumper trim and diffuser installed at dealership upon arrival

My 540i xDrive completed production on May 18th. It was logged at the port of exit on May 26th. It was placed on the ship FREEDOM on June 5th and is due in Baltimore, MD on June 19th. I think the timeframes that I have experienced are typical. Anything less is exceptional and anything longer is certainly atypical. And, the BMW Genius had info earlier than the Track your BMW page. But, when the vehicle was being transported by rail to the port of exit in Bremerhaven, there were no updates (BMW Genius and automated line always said "Released to Carrier") until the vehicle was at the port of exit (and had been logged at that location). The Track Your BMW page didn't show updates until 2 -3 days later.

Yes my x5 has the same (coming the other way to yours). The status stayed at that stage for about a month. Then suddenly it was in the UK. Either it was the quickest crossing of the Atlantic for a bmw or there's something fishy about their tracking system.

Nate and others:

About a week ago BMWUSA modified their tracking site and added, "my garage". When you get to the login page for My BMW, you will see the hot tab to the right side of the page. A friend of mine told me about the new feature a day after it was added. I registered on it and and have found that it is right up to date with the Genius info. Haven't even checked the MY BMW status since then. Obviously though, the current status is only as up to date as entries into the system are.

My car was built last Friday and released to carrier also on Friday. No change in status over the weekend. Status changed to 190 (enroute to port) Mon and remains the same as of this time on Tuesday afternoon. My dealer advised me that "typically" it's 2-4 days from assembly to the port.

I am hoping That is the scenario with my car

Mines finished production may 30th and released to carrier June 1st and as of June 12 same status " release to carrier " as per BMW Genius

I was hoping to have the car by the holiday (July 4th)

If you don't mind me asking
What were your time lines ?
Production start, completion, release to carrier etc

Thanks in advance
