You may get yours before mine, still. I was told that I could have it before Christmas at the dealership, but PCD was booked up until January 10. The PC is also closed the entire week of Christmas/New Year so I've got a bit of an extra delay penalty that non-PCD would not have.

Sent a message to my CA to see what they could do if I added the night vision and now I'm toying with the idea of the remote parking key. Can you do remote climate control with the app without having the key?

The BMW Connected app will allow remote access for climate, locks and if equipped, 3D view. No key required. The remote parking key option seems like a "use it once to show if off" and then it is unused. Night Vision is nice but expensive. I would spend that money on something I would use all of the time like B&W.

Hi, How did you manage to get them to give you so much discount?

I found a dealership willing to make a deal. I emailed the sales managers for all the BMW dealerships in my area (6 or 7 within 100 miles) and told them what kind of deal I was looking for. Only a few responded but I got a good deal!

I did the same as drjolokia. The <10% that responded turned out to be a pleasure to further negotiate with.

Nice to see more blue dots each day after nothing for a month.

Woke up to a lot more dots, keep missing some but I'm glad it's at this point. Think this is status 160 right?

congrats! I blew past this step a week ago, you should go to "182 Schedule for Carrier" very soon. (I went from 153 Assembly Started to 182 Schedule for Carrier in 1 day)

FYI, there is a WW boat headed to US east and west coasts leaving on friday (16th) (Faust). I'm hoping I catch that one (been at the port since friday). I think there is also another boat heading out on the 18th.

Awesome, thanks for the boat info. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

How do you know what boats are coming up? I have a build in the paint booth scheduled to complete Monday. What boats are scheduled for next week?

I know WW does a lot of the shipping for BMW, but FWIW my car ended up on a K-Line vessel and I've noticed a lot of them at Bremerhaven recently (they're easy to spot b/c they all have "Highway" in their names). K-line schedule is easily accessible here: http://www.kline.com/CarCarrier-Sche...g_Schedule.pdf

There's a set of links to the main shipping companies in the first post of this thread: https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1315141

From there you can drill into schedules for each carrier line and make your best guesses from there.

I called the genius line and they told me to call back in a week or two for boat info and schedules.

At the port but no scheduled vessel yet. Looking at their schedules I see the ARC Resolve and K Line Horizon at Bremerhaven on the 17th and possibly on the east coast around the first week of december.

I thought I was going to set a record ! Placed my order on 10/1. Left Bremerhaven on 10/29 and then Southampton on 11/6. BMW Genius told me expected arrival in New York was 11/14. Was looking at about 7 weeks from order to delivery. Somewhere in the Atlantic, the Porgy either decided to drop anchor for a few days or head down to the Caribbean. Genius tells me today it's expected in New York on the 20th. The waiting is painful !

If I would have placed a week 41 order when I first found it I'd probably have my car later this month instead this week 46 some time in December.

Mine is finally off the ship and at the VPC. Scheduled to leave on 11/21. Should arrive at the dealership on 11/23. Could have it next weekend!

Although the online tracker had it go back a step 🤨
