I didn't see this in the search...but anyone move backward on the vehicle tracker?

Hey all-

I've been obsessively checking the BMW "My Garage" tracker and I know that my car was on the Grand Hero that arrived in Baltimore a few days ago. My car has been "in transit" for weeks now, but today I checked the tracker and I moved back a step to "arrived at port". I'm pretty sure it didn't get sent back to Germany, but is this a sign that it's done with customs or VDC or whatever step?

Kinda weird.

I confirmed I was on the Grand Hero as well. Mine has also bumped back a step to "at the port". My guess is like you said we are off the boat and waiting for customs/processing?

This is correct. My vehicle is also listed at the port after being in transit, but it's at the port in Charleston, not Bremerhaven. It should be at the VPC tomorrow after taking the train to Greer tonight.

Anyone get an update from being back "At the port"? I'm still in Baltimore I guess?

That's how it always works. It goes back to "In Transit" when it leaves port headed for your dealership.

Yeah...I'm still at port (Baltimore) waiting to go to dealer (also in Baltimore) so I'll update as soon as I hear anything as well.

Woot! I'm at the dealership! They are sending some pictures tomorrow and we are doing the sales paperwork on Tuesday so I'll report back if there are/are not any changes in loan % (hopefully back to 0.9%).

Got it! Even though I had a 4 hour drive home in torrential rain and the threat of tornados/hail.... I made it and the car is awesome!

Worth noting, mine is a 2021 and doesn't have those new plastic fender pieces we are seeing elsewhere in the world.
