Another change today, I hope it keeps up this pace.
Does anyone know if they have deleted item, will they be deleted from the "YOUR SELECTED OPTIONS"? |

It hard to believe that the car is "IN TRANSIT". Just over 8 month since I ordered it. Now it just need to get the stop sale on the camera complete at VPC. Then one more trip.

NOSNOW, you must have the patience of a saint. If I had ordered a 2021 in March and didn't have it yet, I would have given up on it long ago. It is a very nice build and I am sure you will be thrilled with it. I look forward to your posts after delivery.
My M550i has been in the production queue since October 5. I spoke with a genius yesterday and he said it would be completed on October 22. I am not sure if that is before or after the quality checks. He told me to expect it to sit at the port for at least a week before being loaded on the ship. There could be many delays but he indicated that I should have the car before Christmas. I am hopeful but not over-confident. |

The car has made it this side of the Atlantic. It's in Baltimore, but it's at the Volkswagen port now - Should move over to Dundalk some time. Still have a stop sale for the cameras. But it is getting closer.

I don't quite understand. My car should have the same cameras as yours but I don't think I have a stop sale.

Theory 1: My car was built back in June, they ran out of cameras so BMW just parked it out in their field. As cameras came in they were assigned to new cars to keep the assembly line running, and pissing off less customer. October came and they needed to harvest the pumpkins in the field. So they put the car on the ship to have VPC handle the problem, as there cameras are assigned to the production line. Theory 2: The car was used for spare parts for the last 4 month, to keep the production line running. Parts were being take off and put on daily. It finally got down to missing only the cameras so they put it on the ship, before it was stripped again. Theory 3: They had a summer inter doing the scheduling, and they need a car for the summer for them. They are now back in school, so the car got put in line to get on a ship. Theory 4: It is/was not really on the ship, they just like playing game and it's going back into QC next week. Theory 5: Someone at BMW just wanted to piss me off. Theory 6: [SENSORED] Theory 7: It's all just luck. |

The things I know that held my car up: Handsfree lift gate, was a standard feature on '21 M550 but removed with a credit on my window sticker. RAM Module - was listed in the active service bulletins for my build. Things that probably held it up. Bowers and Wilkins surround - removed for '22MY Parking Assistance Package - comes and goes as available option on '22MY Carbon Pro spoiler - not on configurator Wireless Charger/Digital Key - removed for '22MY M550/540 0-60 Traction Control Issue - Resolved with software update in September |

NOSNOW, it looks like your car was in Bremerhaven only 3 days before getting on a ship? That was fast. Also, it got to Baltimore relatively quickly. What is the status now?
Mine has been in Bremerhaven for the past 3 days. I am really hoping it gets loaded on a ship soon! |

As long as you have waited, you certainly deserve to get yours first! I would think they would get the cameras installed quickly...assuming they have them. The website could be somewhat behind. Your car could already be on the train to Minnesota?
