Vessels for M550's

Mandingo9 · 02-22-2022, 08:40 AM

Has anyone with a M550 left Bremerhaven recently on vessel Arc defender, Oberon or Olympic highway? BMW Genius I got didn't sound so enlightened. From what I could gather they made it seem like bmw is going to start doing stop sale corrections in Bremerhaven.

Nothing?!?!? Ok….. ok

Sorry, I wish I was assigned a vessel. Mine's been completed and still sitting at the factory since Jan 26.

Damn, mine sat for a week before they sent it out from factory to port. I thought things were getting better unless they are fixing stop sales in Germany now. Did you or do you have any stop sales open?

I did a VIN check for recalls and it is all clear. It may change once it reaches the VPC.

From what I've seen, a couple days after leaving the factory it shows if there's a stop sale. Mine have been open for a month. Do you have an M550 on order? Also do you use this vin checker? https://bmw-recall-tool.netlify.app

Yes, I used that tool and it stated No Open Recalls. Dealer has no information. I'll check with the BMW Genius later today.

Nice! Hopefully it stays that way.

Ordered in mid December 2021 and was at port from Jan 19 until yesterday. On the Elektra heading to NY.

I ordered my 550 in late July 2021 and have been at the port since Jan 17th. There’s seemingly no end in sight

Goddamn. That seems like an allocation issue, to have ordered it in July and to have it finished being built in December(?) sometime. After arriving at port a month ago I've missed about 5-6 vessels that have rolled through Bremerhaven. Going to call my dealer and express my frustration.

My M550i arrived in Bremerhaven 31 Jan and finally left port 24 Feb on the MV Donington
.
After a port call in Zeebrugge, she is currently in the English Channel on her way to Baltimore with an estimated arrival on 9 Mar.

Then I'll have to endure the wait for a pair of holds to be resolved.

Congrats! Mine arrived jan23rd and still not on a ship. How did you find out it shipped, on website or bmw genius?

jnow · 02-28-2022, 04:49 PM
