**Update**
2017 340i xdrive M Sport Black sapphire metallic 6MT Cold weather Lighting Driver assistance Tech pack THP Car play 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!! Last edited by DyersEve; 12-01-2016 at 09:05 AM.. |

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? |

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. |

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

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 |
