Yes, we all have a good chance. My car is coming to Brunswick, GA since I'm in north Florida. My possible ships are:

4/18 - WW Glorious Leader Arrives May 6 - Though she was supposed to be at Bremerhaven yesterday and seems to be steaming in circles outside port.
4/18 - K Line Apollon Highway Arrives May 6
4/26 - ARC Freedom Arrives May 13
4/29 - WW Manon Arrives May 17
4/30 - K Line Olympian Highway Arrives May 19

Not sure about MOL; can't get to their site at work...

Thanks for this info!

I'm really getting tired of getting up every morning logging into Bmwusa just to find the same status "at the port".

Hope we all get on a ship soon, the wait is killing me.

Mine is not even at the port. The status shows dispatched from factory. I hope my car gets on WW, so that I can obsessively track my car.

Nothing is getting done these days.

Call the BMW Genius... Mine was 'Dispatched' all weekend, Monday and Tuesday AM according to the website. Then I called the Genius, and they said, it's at the port, and I logged into the site again and it had changed to At the Port. Could have been a coincidence of timing or it could be that something didn't update.

They also told me that generally as soon as they select it for a ship, they can tell you, not the two-day wait after it's onboard.

I am calling at least once a day to check...

Well won't make the Apollon.... Genius says not assigned a carrier yet.

So now skip to the ones on 24th or 26th and hope for the best...

Note sure if anticipation can be any higher at this point, lol.... but true the longer it takes the sweeter it'll be... and I can now not worry every day what will happen... or a week anyway...

Hey guys, any further update with anyone's car?

I'm still showing the same status " at the port".
My car has been there since 4/5/19, it obviously didn't make the ship on 4/7/19 or 4/9/19 which is understandable. Then it didn't make the ship on 4/15/19, even that I was ok with.
Now, not making the ship on 4/18/19 and so far nothing for today 4/19/19 is getting me really frustrated and my blood is starting to boil.
I'm tired of waking up every morning, opening the BMW website just to see the status not changed.

I wish they could at least provide some information as to why it's taking so long..... like "there is a 1000-2000 cars ahead of you" or any other information, that way I could make sense of it and prevent my blood vessel from popping.
I feel like they leave us on an island

I called Genius yesterday and they said not assigned yet, but that as soon as it is assigned to a ship they can tell us.

I am with you on this wait being unbearable. I'm planning to take a break from checking on the status for one week. Checking status isn't making the car come in any sooner anyways.

I'm just doing self therapy as I'm in the same boat as you all. Prolly I'll be checking the status in an hour....

I hear ya... keep telling my self not to check.... then I'm doing it again.... Now that I know Genius can tell as soon as a ship is assigned, it's hard to keep from calling them morning and evening. Yes, I have a problem, lol.

It went so fast.... ordered 3/23, built and at the port by 4/16.... and MoeMo87 has been there since 4/5?!?!?!

Yeah they been telling me the same thing every time I call.

I think the next ship for me is on the 26th also.
If I make it onto that ship, that would mean my car has been at the port for 22 days. That's ridiculous!

I talked to my GM from my dealership the other day and he told me that they have more updated information than BMW Genious do on their computer.

He also said that for the past month, it's been very common for customers cars to be on the ship for 5-6 days before anyone was updated with that status. So that's been giving me some hope that I may fall into the category. Then again, it might just be a "line" they use to get me off their back.

This has most definitely been the hardest part of the process.

Seems people on the East Coast are waiting longer than usual at the port. I'm on the West Coast and though still waiting for mine, seems to be moving faster than others. Dunno if this is the same for anyone else on the West.

Having gone through all of this, I would have to say, that what is happening is just a travesty...

However, the only good news I can provide is that once the car did on a boat, the status was updated almost 2-3 days later which coincided with what the genius was able to see.

So you might find out that it's on a boat, but it actually got on 2-3 days earlier.

Yeah your seems to be moving fairly quick, your production begin 3/11/19 and you got on a boat on 4/1. That's sweet!

My production started 3/13/19, and the poor car is still looking for a boat :

That's what I wanted to confirm.

If the car gets on a boat, was the genious able to see right away or they also had the 2-3 day delay?

If that's the case I will keep hope till 4/23/19 lol!

Hopefully we all do!

The original list you sent me of the ships departing, I noticed that the one from 4/19 was not there anymore and the date switched to 4/20.

I hope for the best and would love to see some movement.

I'm about to do my final check now before putting my phone away

I hope so too... Liberty Ace is still there, and does come to Brunswick... so Maybe. Hard to tell from the webcam but the rows of cars do seem to be shifting...

Still for me it's only 6 days... If anyone's gets on a ship it should be MoeMo87 after waiting since 4/5.

I'm a little behind in the line...so I'm not expecting any movement for me tomorrow.
I hope so too... Liberty Ace is still there, and does come to Brunswick... so Maybe. Hard to tell from the webcam but the rows of cars do seem to be shifting...

Still for me it's only 6 days... If anyone's gets on a ship it should be MoeMo87 after waiting since 4/5.
6 days is long enough
We need to all get on the boat.

Could you send me the link for the camera. I had one before but it's not working
Appreciate 0
