Yikes, I thought mine sat a long time at two weeks. My car finally made it to Baltimore this morning, took about a month from the time it hit port in Bremerhaven to get to Baltimore.

Hang in there

When I was waiting for my car at the end of December, another members car arrived at Bremerhaven at the same time as mine but mine departed after about 9 days and his was over 20 days.
He never got a reason for the delay from his dealer or BMW but unfortunately it seems like it happens.

Yes. I've been sitting at the port since 4/20. I keep calling BMW Genius every couple days...

Either the port is overwhelmed as the economy picks back up or there was damage to your car in shipping that has to be corrected.

One would think that the money exchanged in moving these products in a timely manner between countries would incentivize haste on both sides. Doesn't make sense how it takes weeks to allow clearance of vehicles through customs. I was lucky to have mine move through Brunswick GA really quickly back in 2018. The anticipation is killer even when things are moving quickly, but rest assured you're gonna love your M5 when it hits your dealership.

No problem. The wait is difficult, and I thought mine was bad! Hopefully you'll make up some time once it hits the States. Good luck!
