Same here. But completed production A few days later.

My SA is “going to look into it” but framing it like they’re not going to know much more than I already do.

Automated line originally said production estimated to finish on 8/12, and it actually finished on 8/14. I wouldn't give up hope yet...the web site it notoriously inaccurate. Have you checked with your SA?

I usually dont pay much attention to bmwusa. On weekends Ill usually call the automated line.. Usually, theyve got the same info the Genie has as to general status.

My SA is generally clueless; I usually have to tell HIM what my status is. Oh well, maybe ♪ someday my ship will come. ♪

Funny, when I call the Genuis they are usually confused, but my SA is always super on top of things and knows exactly where the car is and what's going on.

Completed production 8/16 for me, waiting at the port with the rest of y'all

Same here with the production completion date according to my SA, although the automated line told me it was 8/12. I really want to believe the automated line, but I'm afraid my SA's information is more accurate according to most people in this forum. So I guess we are actually week 33 instead of 32.

Same as me. 8/12 moved to 8/14 but I’m waiting at port.

Tried my vin but no luck. This ship is charted to stop at Bristol, it is currently entering the Bristol Channel. I can't see beyond that but my guess is somewhere in Canada from there.

Prestige ace has made it well out into the open ocean en route for Baltimore.

Tiger is still at the port so my guess is if your status shows "on route to the us" then this not your ship.

Have fun watching the progress (for those of us on the Morning Caroline): http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...tml?call=3EPF3

You can also go here: https://www.2wglobal.com, click "Schedules", select "By Voyage", and put in CX732-MRL as the voyage number.

Me too! And you know it was funny I called up BMW Genius (not the automated line the one where you get a person) and the rep that I spoke with was immediately able to tell the status of the production number (on a ship), the name of the ship, AND even stated "do you know that there are vessel tracking sites where you can track the ship... ...some people like to do that..." Pretty sure he would have given me some of the vessel tracking websites if I asked...

It was almost as though he was a forum member on these boards trolling the Week 32 topic.

For those of you that have had bad experiences with Genius I wonder if some reps are better (waaaay better?) than others?

So jealous of you fellow 32 weekers! According to automated line, Im still sitting at the exit port waiting for a ship.. I have a feeling all available ships have been filled and are sailing, and Ive got to wait around for them to return to port for another load.. O this is so excruciating. And Ive got a buyer for my 135i who has to wait for me to take delivery of M2 before I can part with 135i. Hate to make him wait any longer than I have to, but dayamn, I should have been on a ship already with a production completion date of 8/10.

What's got me a little annoyed is that pretty much every California or West Coast user with Week 32 is on a boat right now. Except for me.

Just called Genius, and hes showing exactly what the automated number tells me as well as bmwusa.. At port, wait for a ship... Now, it got to the port 8/15, so its only been a week.. Genius initially gave me a 2-5wk possible time frame to get on a boat.. Thats an awfully big window. Just have to sit back and try and be patient. It's hard though, seeing all you lucky early shippers with production completion dates even a few days after mine.. boo hoo...

Same! I checked with BMW Genius yesterday morning and got the information but wasn't sure if it would be accurate and didn't wanna post anything right away. I called again this morning and was told the same thing but looks like I its old news. Either way, September 1st seems super fast and fingers crossed that we all get out of port just as quick.

BMW Genius told me the Morning Caroline left on 8/17 so i'm surprised you didn't make it on.

Tracking site actually says departure was 8/18

Maybe you did make it on and you got some bad info?

Did you put your VIN in the site? Maybe it made it on the boat.

I always use my production number.. Would VIN ever produce a different result? I cant imagine how that could happen.
