Help Estimating Delivery

Today I noticed my status changed from Production Begins to Production Ends

How much time from this point before car is delivered, give or take a good estimation for those more familiar with placing orders.

Your boat will prob hit NY first then work its way down the coast making about half a dozen stops. So that'll take a week.

About a week at the port in Germany, 12-16 days at sea, week to enter the U.S. and truck it to your dealer.

All depends on timing of ship. If you just miss one you may have to wait a week sitting at port in Germany. Doubt you'll make the one on the 17th not sure when next one is.

Is that the next one BEM? Are you still sitting at port or did you already ship out?

Yeah that would be awesome. I won't be in town until the 13th of May though, got my lawyer taking delivery for me at my house. Don't want car at dealer any longer than necessary. God forbid someone drives it.

I'm with you on that! I'm going to be watching those people like a hawk. I'll be damned if somebody else drives my new car before I do!

Smart move. I'm ashamed to admit the abuse I inflicted on the one I test drove. At least I let it warm up first dealer told me to smash the throttle immediately.

LOL, this is the sort of shenanigans I imagine going on with most 235 test drives......

Just ordered a M235i

I placed an order yesterday for a Mineral Grey with black interior and six speed manual transmission. The dealer told me to expect three months for delivery. Is this about average for a car headed to the US? Thanks for the info.

Mine is on it's way across the Atlantic as we speak. If everything stays on schedule it will end up being 8 weeks start to finish. Dealers have a limited number of allotments on the 235's so sometimes that can hold things up.
