No idea. I've been waiting for an "escalation specialist" from BMW NA to call me back since Monday (I was told be EOD).
Sorry to hear that. Major annoying. I am just boarded on my flight back east...pickup tomorrow. Photos may be delayed while traveling and likely most will be in separate thread which I will link.

Hot damn cant wait for pics, there’s some sick roads and views along your route. My buddy’s gone walkabout in the Southwest and Rockies with his Ferrari 308 over the last 3 months and sending me amazing pics.

Auggiem3, have you picked up yours yet? Mine was on the same boat and it’s supposed to arrive at the dealership Monday. Mine will get trucked across country to me, so I may see it by Christmas, perhaps a little later...

Mine is still showing "at port" with no word yet from the dealer.

Are you saying they have yours on the truck now or it will start the drive Monday?

It's at the dealer and ready for pickup...and my family is in a tight isolation so we can see some high risk family members next week. Probably will pick it up on Thursday.

Mine is supposed to arrive at the dealer in MD on Monday, signed all of the paperwork today, it should arrive Tuesday to the dealer who I hope will clear it then to be picked up and put on a truck. 🤞🏻

Did it make it?

I called Genius since the car hit port on the 3rd. I asked about the delay.

He said he didn't have any info so I asked if it was possible that it was undergoing repairs at the VPC.

He shared something I thought was interesting - he said that he would see a work order for repairs assigned to the production number and there wasn't one.

Relieved but also found it interesting that you could potentially find out about in port repairs if you ask about completed, in process or pending work orders (for non port installed options of course).

No joy on my side either, I’ve talked with my CA and no report of it arriving at the dealer yet. I’ll ask about any open WOs on mine and see if I get any indications. This snow storm back there is sure not helping things either...

That's awesome! I made it home yesterday and my neighbors' dog was so happy to see me she jumped right up on the driver side door. Thankfully, they are extremely fine scratches that I think should come out when I take it in for touch ups on the coating and clear bra. I have some very minor edge lifting on the corners of the hood and one on the bumper that need to be looked at and couldn't exactly be take back to the installer in South Carolina.

The big one though was the rock that went right through the clear on the driver side headlight! It's like when you fall and have road rash on your palms and the skin is like a flap you can push back down but you really want to just rip it off. Thankfully, though the lens is probably chipped, it does not appear to be cracked. Then, below that, on the splitter, a rock must have hit so hard because the clear is still on, but the rock chip is there and the paint is shifted in the smudge/chip as it would be in a normal rock chip scenario. Then there's one decent windshield chip and some very minor ones.

Pretty sure all of this came from the stretch between Lafayette, LA and San Antonio, TX. Couldn't believe all the shit and trucks spewing shit. At least in Europe, the trucks are all held to a uniform standard and they can just have gravel flying out. In any event, not terrible but a bit frustrating. The trip home was otherwise amazing and I'll have a write-up done hopefully over the next week. The photo selection and editing will be difficult.

And after making port on the 4th of December, we have a sighting. My CA sent me these pics today, truck is being organized to ship from MD to AZ in the next few days...

And the delivery journey is done.

Years of debate, a 12.21.19 deposit, a May 2020 European Delivery delayed and ultimately foiled by covid.

Nice to finally have it!

Congrats! I think you may have been the last who previously planned ED to have this delivered. Regardless of where you had it delivered, it is a fantastic car and I hope it brings you a smile every time you drive it!

You are right, although I resolved it a while back. The front shipping blocks were not removed by the dealer. https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=27055368

I find it remarkable that this happens fairly frequently. Donnie at the PC was telling me one of their repeat customers got all the way home once and was not happy with the ride...turned out he drove the car home to the midwest with the shipping blocks. Not confidence inspiring that even the PC deliveries still had the blocks.
