That's the best way to look at it, at least it's confirmed that build is done. I'll have to start keeping my hopes down, seems like it won't be till May when I get my car. I will just have to come to the dealership and stare at your car for few hours to feel better |

Surprising that in 2019 with all the tech we have that an entire system can be down for days.
My production week is 16, so 4/15. BMW Genius said it should be starting production soon, maybe Friday or Saturday. The person I spoke to said he had heard from other customers that the MyBMW site had delayed updates. He also said they can't give out status codes. Maybe once my car moves from Scheduled to Started I'll feel less anxious, but I doubt it. |

I still have no clue how it's possible for a system to be down for few days. In my case, I'm not sure if it was because the system was down or slow or my dealership just made the wrong assumption of my car being finished.
My dealership always gives me a status if they have one available. I don't see any reason why they can't do that for you. That first wave of anxiety kicks in until the production begins and everything is smooth. 2nd wave starts kicking in when your car is close to finish. If for some reason, a certain process starts taking to long, that anxiety turns into something else lol. I was calculating my timeline based on Bastula's, since we have the same color, pretty much same options and delivery to the same dealership His assembly seemed to move just a little quicker than mine, and his quality check was 6 days compared to my 11 days. This was the part where anxiety changed |

Logged in this morning and saw that my car is dispatched from factory
4/2/19- waiting for carrier assignment 4/4/19- dispatched from factory I guess they made up for the extra days they took in quality check, since Bastula's timeline showed roughly 7 days from this transition |

Yeah I looked at the port schedule, next one leaving is 4/7/19 but that one takes 17 days to get to Baltimore. Another one is leaving on 4/9/19 and only takes 13 days and arrives in Baltimore 2 days earlier. I guess this is one time where I would want my car to wait at the port a little longer |

In other news, the vessel my car is on is about to dock in Baltimore. That means this voyage was only 10 days!! Finally a way to make up for lost time. Hope you get on the faster ship!

Yes, once you know the name of the ship, you can track it on various sites. I use marinetraffic.com. There is more detailed info here.

Thanks!! I didn't get all the options but I think this build was a good balance of luxury, sport and tech! Hope to see it within 2 weeks!

I think you should get your car under 2 weeks. Dealership was saying 7 days after reaching port |

That's what happened to me. I saw other threads that echoed the same thing.

I was tracking another vehicle a few weeks ago, and although it had arrived at the dealership, it still showed "in transit" on the website a week later. |

My car reached the port on 4/5/19 and there was a ship leaving on 4/7/19 and 4/9/19. Again when I checked online, it still shows my car is at port. However, I called BMW Genius on 4/9/19 at 8:30 P.M. to see if they might have any additional information. They said my car is at port still waiting for a vessel assignment. So I'm pretty sure my car has not made either of the two ships since this is the update I received from the phone call. Just wanted to know if BMW genius also have some delay with receiving information or it's pretty much accurate? |
