On the other hand, things can go very smoothly. Genius also told me to check back with them every 3 days. My car arrived at the port on a Monday, made a ship by that Thursday or Friday. Since you're in Canada, ymmv... |

My 550 is currently inbound on the "Glorious Leader" with a stop in Baltimore first before heading over to the West Coast. The ship cleared the English Channel yesterday and is on track for a Nov 7th arrival on the West Coast.
Pretty good timing seeing that I turn in my M3 Nov 10th. |

This is my first BMW, never waited for a car before hahaha. Totally thought it would be like waiting for a eBay order back in the days where your item wont be here for 3 months. Guess waiting for a car is a bit different. |

This is also the first time I haven't just bought a car off the lot. It is a very different experience for sure! Almost too much time to re-research and re-think everything!

But atleast the car comes with the M Performance exhaust standard and the M performance aero kit? not sure which kit that is. But sure! Did not do enough research to see what is standard or not Was told today that the ETA for my car would be in mid Dec. But the car is sitting at port right now.

All I know is I liked what it looked and sounded like both on YouTube and at the dealer. They can name it whatever they want! Not sure what the timelines are like for Canada (or if you're in eastern vs. western Canada), but mid-Dec seems like a while. My car just entered production and my CA is telling me there's an outside chance I'll have it late November/early December, even accounting for PCD.

I looked all the M550i video available. To factories and tuned M550i videos. I am in Western Canada. Vancouver to be exact. Was told the ETA but i do hope I would receive the car sooner for the winter. What package did you get with yours? |

My last 2 Mercedes' were custom ordered. My MB salesperson was less than enthusiastic about providing updates, and MB didn't have a web tracker or "Genius" that I knew of. So when I ordered this BMW, I was excited about being able to follow it along... Nearly 4 months later, I regret my excitement at having the options. It has consumed way to much of my free time, and even time when I shouldn't have been checking on it. You mentioned eBay. I use Amazon for some things, but refuse to pay for Prime. Nothing more frustrating than ordering something, having the delivery estimate be some 10-12 days later, but watching them ship it 10 days from now and arriving in a day or two. Really, I need to pay for Prime for you guys to get your warehouse butts in gear? In some respects, I feel like I have gone thru the same with my car. Ok, rant over! |

By the way, with that being said, my ship is less than 75 miles from the US/Mexico Border (out in the ocean, of course), and due into Port Hueneme tomorrow.

And about the Amazon shipping 2 days before the delivery date they got to make those extra 70 bucks from everyone I got fed up with it and got the prime hahaha. I cant wait 14 days for a tub of tide detergent to arrive when I am too busy to go buy them at the store. |

Yep. Ordered last week of August, got allocation first week of Sept. PW45 date held, its just an awkward delivery window. I could have gotten the car a little before Christmas if I wasn't doing PCD, but decided to just wait it out for the experience. I'll save a month of insurance at least.

Well I got pretty lucky. Was set for Build Week 41. Car finished 10/10. It's now on the boat as of 10/18. Was only at the port for 3 days!
CA says it will hit VPC on or before 11/15 and I should have it around Turkey Day 🦃 Getting excited! |
