I'll look at them again, maybe it was the m3/m4 forum.

Yah some of those m3/m4's have been stuck for a LONG time, like 3+ months. But I don't believe any of those come with BW do they?

I'd of thought a car with that potential price tag you could of. I might be full of shit too. Been searching for shit to read so I don't refresh bmw website more than 20 times a day. Maybe I fused those stories together.

I’m waiting on a 530i to show up to Baltimore and have the RAM issue. Anyone know if the wait is long on those ?

Oh wow. I am surprised to here that considering the timing . I Would have thought yours would have been in route on a boat along with mine. My time frame is not that far off from yours.

Arrived to Bremerhaven on 1/23
Departed Bremerhaven on 2/11
ETA 3/2
Stop sale for RAM

Well the unknown wait begins. My 530 arrived in Baltimore this morning but no telling when I will have the RAM taken care of but at least it’s here I guess. Passed by the port earlier headed home thinking it’s just right there lol

There's no rhyme or reason how they do anything. I got into Bremerhaven 1/27 and still haven't been assigned a ship. I've counted 10 vessels came and went to Baltimore and I haven't been loaded yet. I asked dealer if they could some how follow up to make sure my car hasn't been forgotten about as some people here have already received their cars or at least have had their cars shipped with similar arrival dates into Bremerhaven, they couldn't help. I might call bmwna just to follow up.

You are lucky it made it to the states. Mine has been sitting at the factory since 26 January. My dealer says it is complete, but just sitting there.

Left Bremerhaven on 2/25, stopped in Zeebrugge for 2 days
ETA Baltimore currently 0700 on 10 Mar (was 2100 on 9 Mar yesterday.)

Allow 2 days to unload and clear customs, then go into the black hole of module installations (RAM and PMA).

Hey, I'm just happy ours got built and out of the factory. All the BMW Europe production is now shut down because of Putin's war on Ukraine. BMW wiring harnesses are sourced in Ukraine.

I'm very sorry for the suffering of the innocent people in Ukraine.

I totally forgot about customs. Mine is here now so should be clearing customs by tomorrow since it got here on 3/1. I know the VPC is at Sparrows point now and not in Dundalk anymore. Lord knows how long that RAM gonna take.

Now that my M550i is crossing the Atlantic on its way to Baltimore I'm driving my wife nuts by playing Neil Diamond's "Coming to America" frequently.
