Mine has been at the port for about 5 days now. Hoping it ships soon
I ordered my car on November 12th. It arrived at the port ready for carrier assignment on November 29th. Unfortunately, my car has been siting at the port and I have not received any new updates (11 Days!!).

I don't know why my car has not been assigned and/or shipped yet.

I would ask your dealership to give you an update. They have more information than what you get on the BMW website.

I've been asking them every few days. Too be honest, I don't think my salesman is the sharpest tool in the shed...

I might have to talk to management to see if they can actually give me a straight answer.

What is the longest time that anyone has waited for their car to be assigned a ship to the US? Please let me know if you have dealt with this issue already

Hopefully your car is on a ship already! I would ask your salesman to forward you to a manager or call one yourself. My guys were easily able to pull up my car and got back to me within a few hours when I asked for the name of the ship.

I guess it's possible it's still in the port and I'm not sure how long is normal. shoei has ordered a couple cars in the last 2 years. Maybe he has some insight?

I am definitely going to give them a call tomorrow.

Here is a link to a new thread that I created for my build and this delay issue. If anyone has more insights into the shipping from overseas, please respond on this thread.

It's takes about 6-7 weeks (including build out) to arrive from Germany to California... All of them have been right around the same time frame... It's not unusual for there to be a slight hiccup (how many in the cue ahead of you, ship issues, personnel issues, customs issues, the list goes on) but in a perfect world, 6-7 weeks...

Honestly, you're around that mark... There's also a possibility it just hasn't updated either? Just breathe and try not to let it consume you... I'm sure it'll be here shortly...

I know I'm obsessing!

I am in NY - so my build and transit time should be a decent amount shorter than CA delivery.

We've all been there before... The best advice one gave me some time ago was - "set it and forget it..."

Gonna take the fun out of it if you stress and cause yourself grief over something nobody has any control over... In a few weeks time, you'll have a car that some lust over... Just live your life like you did before you ordered a F90...
