How long have you been at the port status?

Hello. I ordered a car with the Tartufo interior. Good new. It didn’t take the extra 10 weeks like it says on bmwusa.com. It seemed to have moved smoothly throughout the process.

If you ordered a vehicle this year, how long did it sit at the port waiting for boat transit? I’m curious.

My Tartufo car was at the port from 3/6 to 3/11 (but I didn't know that until 3/14).

In the middle of the Atlantic now.

Congratulations. Mine has been at the port since February 20th. That’s super weird. I feel cheated. Is the bmw genius number info accurate?

When did yours go into production,( if you don’t mind me asking?

I don't understand why yours had to sit there. Maybe something to do with where it's going once it gets to the US?

I entered production on 2/9, assembly on 2/28, in transit to port on 3/3.

I ended up cancelling the order. If the dealership nor the “genius” line doesn’t know why they’re held up at the port while others are shipping out, I can’t rock with them.

Guess you'll have to wait for the 2025 model then lol. It's probably just a matter of getting space on a boat to whatever port you're going to.

Nah. I’m not ordering anything else. If it’s not something at the dealership or on its way on the boat already, someone else can wait for it.

I found one in DC. They’re shipping it to me. I actually like it more than the one that I ordered. So, I’ll be getting one after all.
