Build start (150) to build finish (155): 1-2 weeks.
-Build finish (155) to Scheduled for Carrier (182): 1 day.
-Status 182 to 190 (on a train to bremerhaven):1-3 days.
-Status 190 to 193 (at port awaiting a ship): 1-2 days.
-Status 193 to 195 (on a ship): 3-5 days for east coast delivery,
-Shipping time from Bremerhaven to East Coast: 12-17 days depending on the number of stops.
--Offload at port: 1 day
-Processing through customs: 1-2 days
-Process through BMW Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) and onto a carrier: 2-5 days.
-Shipping time on carrier to Dealership: 1-4 days.
So on the long side - ~54 days/8 weeks) and short side ~30 days/4 weeks.
I've been mentally assuming about 6 weeks from build start, so if Week 41, then in my hands week of November 16th.
(Found my original build sheet/production number on my 335 and it was almost exactly 8 weeks from status 112 to in my hands)

Any concern getting this car delivered in winter? Damage to the car primarily?
