Have you explored something already on a dealer lot? I don't know the details of your spec nor actual available inventory but this may be an option if you're somewhat flexible.

This is exactly the route I went for the same reason! Checked nationwide everyday for a good while.

I know this part can be really frustrating. MY 23 M8 GC started production beginning of February, finished by end of February and then sat at port for about 6 weeks. It was then picked up and I tracked the vessel too many times watching it go. I took delivery 2 1/2 weeks ago and can say it is worth the wait! I originally ordered an M5 in August and ran into issues with a particular dealer on two cars as well so even waiting all that time over all I can say the wait is worth it. I know the way you are feeling though. Try to take your mind off of it and be patient. It will get picked up and delivered soon or later. The process is pretty quick when it gets picked up too.

I decided to look nationwide for any that have actually made it to a dealer since mine is still showing at port. Bought one in California and am having it shipped to my location. Will hopefully be here next week!

That's awesome news! Congratulations! This is the route I went and have recommended to a few members here. So much better than waiting for an ordered vehicle if you've found something you like.

Thanks! Only differences were the color and the fact that the new one has extended leather instead of full. I'm ok with that and it wasn't a deal breaker. This one's dark graphite instead of MBB and is more in line with my color choices in general, so I'll be in my comfort zone. Super excited and am glad to not be waiting at the port anymore!

I was lucky to find an identical spec, but I also would have taken something reasonably close. So glad you found something you like. Can't wait to see pics!

There's no relief like knowing you won't have to check MyGarage 27 times a day.

thanks for the reassurance. It's still at port, 3.5 months later. No genius or sales associate has any idea why. It's mind boggling.

Mine might be on the same boat as yours and I also went with the Marina Bay Blue. Are you on the vessel named Orion Highway? lol

Just got on a boat, mine was at the port for 3 weeks.

My M5C build has been at port for two weeks. I’m in no rush but curious to see how long it will take to depart for U.S..
