Anyone had their M2 sit at the port awaiting a vessel for 2+ weeks?
Today marks two weeks to the day that my M2's been sitting at the port in Bremerhaven awaiting a vessel. It's killing me and it's why I tried to resist the urge to track the car because I knew I'd wind up worrying about something I have no control over.
Anyone else had their car sit at the port that long? The BMW Genius said that a 2-3 week wait isn't unusual. |

Mine was a 4-month long wait since it was at port. Thanks FEMA!
A couple of weeks... Wish it was that short. |

Hmm. So the estimates listed in the tracking thread aren't accurate?
My M2 has a estimated completion date of February 16th. According to the estimates, it'd arrive at the dealer between March 11th and 28th. Maybe I need to adjust my expectations. |

You got to take your particular situation into account. Mine was way off, but had some very particular problems that delayed the delivery. Irma/Maria/FEMA. Otherwise, it would have been ahead of schedule, I think. I ordered mine early August, and was due by late September.

I called the BMW Genius, and he couldn't find out what was happening, and told me to call again before Friday. I called the next day, Tues., and was told that it had started to be built. He said it would be completed in 9 days (not sure why I always heard it took 7 days, but whatever). My SA confirmed that it's being built. But... BMW Genius said that I could expect delivery end of April, beginning of May! Salesman said that sounded about right! How can it take that much longer, even if I'm on the west coast, and you're on the east coast? Am I getting wrong info? Anyone care to guestimate when I could expect my M2, if build is completed this week? Thanks in advance! |

hopefully you catch the next one. my car sat at the port for 6 weeks and BMW claimed to my dealer that they lost the keys or the keys were locked in the car. idk. but the dealer at least was able to make good on it and find me a brand new replacement of the same specs just off the boat. i got lucky in that regard. i'd guess my original car was probably badly damaged somehow and BMW was planning to build a new one. or it's still sitting at the port. who knows? you're not the only one though, i know someone else has been waiting a long time for their M3.

The ship has made 3 stops, one in Germany, 2 in England and is now heading for Baltimore. Estimated time of arrival in Baltimore is June 24. Genius stated June 22. I was looking for a specific car. LBB, Exec. Pkg. Apple Car Play. All the LBB's in the area had sunroofs. Interesting on the Apple CarPlay. $300 for the subscription which is like 20 yrs. or so. The 19's have it included in the MSRP as a one year trial. Last edited by $M2; 06-15-2018 at 07:43 PM.. |

I'm so excited! I actually went to my dealer today to test drive the car again... Car was sitting outside and he was reving it to redline the whole time lol... I'm definitely not letting it sit at the dealer. Congrats to you and hope you get it soon!

Funny, the dealer contacted me today to let me know the ship arrived. Should be 2-3 days to clear and another 5-7 to days for transport. I expect it next week. Good luck to you too. They should both be on the same transporter. I am north of you.

I am scheduled to pick it up tomorrow. I had driven a 2018 Black Shadow Edition prior to the dealer finding this vehicle in Germany. The clutch is just different than an American clutch. I'll post a pic tomorrow. Best of luck with yours. |
