MPPSK

Ordered: 11/15
Production number: 11/28
Started production received VIN: 11/29 tentative Jan. 9th completion

It's a physical object now!! Getting so excited!!

**edit**
Looking at other build times it seems like they are anywhere between 7-15 days to actually produce the car. Mine entered production on the 29th and won't be done until the 9th of Jan. Is this because of some type of factory shutdown for the holidays maybe? Has anyone else had an experience similar to this?

**update**

Just spoke to a genius rep that said the factory is likely going to shut down in the next week and a half or so. It won't reopen until after the 1st of the year.

I have no clue how you guys have all stayed patient in waiting for your cars!! This is torture!!

My CA emailed me today saying that my car had arrived at the Baltimore VPC today. I have been tracking, to the best of what's available, the ship that is is on and I'm not seeing it as having arrived yet. I also called BMW genius and they are saying it isn't due in port till the 28th. Is my CA just jumping the gun? What reason would he have to tell me it's arrived before it actually has?

Thoughts?

We were able to track our ship for the 440GC and view the location on the map. We could see from the map location that the ship was at the dock. If you google the ship's name you should find the map location and port data.

We were able to also watch the ship circle the east side of the Panama Canal for a few days before entering.

This is what I have been doing but the ship stopped reporting its location 5 days ago. It's last known location was the middle of the Atlantic on the 22nd. I was hoping to get an updated location as it got closer to the US coast line but still nothing.

Here is to hoping that my CA knows what he is talking about but I'm am not holding out much hope for that. They have been pretty clueless throughout this entire process.

Car is/was on the Salome.

None of the top google searches show anything different than marine traffic. I have not dove deeper than the 1st 10 results though

Thought I would Google "salome ship position" and then selected the first entry, which is Vessel Finder.....bam!

Shows on the map as just off Virginia Beach looks to be headed into the Bay.
SALOME current position is 36.88501 N / 75.86701 W on Jan 28, 2017 at 01:15 UTC.

The Ports of Call listing shows:
Jan 19, 2017, 00:04 UTCSOUTHAMPTON, UNITED KINGDOM
Jan 17, 2017, 21:03 UTCLE HAVRE, FRANCE
Jan 16, 2017, 20:04 UTCZEEBRUGGE, BELGIUM

Thanks for this! I have been out and about all day and with a dead cell phone to boot! Looks like it will be there by the morning.

Now that begs the question of why my CA told me it was already at the VPC. He is a very nice guy and all but I don't think he knows anything about what he is selling/doing
