Vehicle release to carrier

karupspc · 08-03-2014, 09:54 AM

Production on my 428i GC completed 8/1. It's been released to carrier. Is anyone else at this point? Curious which ships are you tracking USA bound and lastly estimated delivery date?

I can't remember when mine was completed. I ordered mine on Sat 7/5 and I had a VIN that Tuesday. It was at the port on 7/23, went on a ship that left on 8/1. It hit Southampton and is currently at the western edge of the English Channel. Supposed to be in Brunswick, GA on 8/13.

Just curious as to when you ordered the car. My 2015,335i was ordered Saturday 8/2 and my dealer told me it could be up to 8 weeks. Every minute is going by so slow now. I can't wait.

Looks like our cars are on the same phase. I just call the 800 number in the evening and check status there.

Released to carrier doesn't mean it's loaded on a ship though. So it may sit a port for a few days.

Hi

If you find out the boat name or departure date please post.

Called the 800 number talked with a rep. Car arrived at port 8/4. It hasn't been assigned to a ship yet. He suggested calling back in a week for the ship.
