Not to disappoint you but mine stayed in that status for about 10 days before it started to move. Hopefully yours is different but I seem to recall others saying the same thing.

Either way, congrats! I知 picking mine up this weekend from the same BMW Center where you bought yours if I知 not mistaken.

I hope that you're the exception, but don't be surprised if you get through and then wait at the port on either end (or both) for a month+ than you expected

Again, I hope you are the start of the exception and not a reinforcement of what the rest of us went though

That's surprising but not. Mine is Benjamin Gutierrez, but he's been a disappointment so I've mostly been working with Britton Hampton, the sales manager.

Typically it'll sit like that for a week, then the following week things start moving quick with updates daily for 3-5 days

I would call genius hotline if I were you and ask when your estimated completion is. That would give you a good idea as to when your car will begin assembly

Yeah that makes no sense, must be an error. Texas cars come into Galveston. It may go to California after leaving Galveston
