The ship with mine arrives at Sparrows Point tomorrow.

Please let me know when yours is done to give me an idea how long the module delay is currently.

The Donington, carrying my M550i, is entering the Chesapeake Bay on its way to the VPC in Baltimore.

Well, the good news is the Donington and my car arrived.

The bad news is:

0066640100 Retrofit PMA Control Unit Open

0065480300 Retrofitting the receiver audio module Open

<sigh>

Back waiting again.

Anyone heard of bmw holding cars at German ports to fix stop sales again? Been there 6-7weeks and other cars who have arrived after me have left. I think they were fixing it this way during the middle to end of last year.

I was told they are done at the destination VPC. What is your stop sale?
Have you called Genius?

My assumption also is that it's done at VPC but I cant fathom why I'm sitting around 7weeks. Genius doesn't know either way.

Has anyone had their G30 close out yet? I refresh my recall tool a few times a day hoping for the best lol . Been in Baltimore 2 weeks now

eliphil · 03-12-2022, 10:29 AM

Mine was at the same port for 20 days and then went to the dealer in one day.

Which VPC? Baltimore?

Yes I looked at the tool . I also spoke with my SA and it showed that my work order started on 3/10 and that the RAM retro fits were going pretty quick. The PMA is hard to call it .

Mine was in Baltimore for 20 days in December and then got to my dealer in MD in one day

M1903a3 · 04-07-2022, 11:50 AM

My M550 got both holds cleared today, after four weeks at the new Sparrows Point VPC in Maryland. Now it's only 65 miles away from my dealer.

Mandingo9 · 04-08-2022, 03:45 AM

3weeks after getting ram and pma closed at German port I'm finally in transit. Contacting dealer today to see which vessel I'm on.

CBM550iBoston · 04-08-2022, 09:07 AM

My receiver audio module and PMA got closed today, hopefully will take delivery in a week!

My car finally left Bremerhaven 7 April on the Olympian Highway and is scheduled to arrive in Brunswick, GA on 22 April. Genius did not see any stop sales attached to the car, so hoping it's a quick processing through VPC and then on it's way. I might have it by the end of the month.
