My 2017 340i is supposed to be at the port in Baltimore on Saturday. Ordered 2 weeks after yours. So I'm guessing another few weeks for me.

I don't think the amount of time mine has spent at the VPC is typical. I would guess yours might also come late next week.

440i xDrive M-Sport Estoril Blue
Ordered 12/27/16
Due to start production week 8 (end of Feb)


Soooo sloooooow for the 4-series.

340i xdrive 6MT Track Msport MPPSK front splitter

ordered 1/12
Began Production 2/2
Production Complete 2/10....
In transit to port of exit (per automated BMW phone service ) 2/11

From what I've read the time it sits in bremerhaven waitng to load onto ship can vary quite a bit. Crossing time seems to be around 2 weeks. VPC time might be a tad longer for mine since it will get MPPSK and front splitter - but dont really know. afew days? a week? If it gets to dealer in CT by early March I'll be happy. More realistically mid March I'm guessing.

Just spoke with BMW genius and they are saying the car is at the dealership. I sent a message to my CA asking when I would be able to pick it up today and he is telling me that the car is not there.

The BMW tracking site also says the car is at the dealership.

I think they are just taunting me at this point.

**edit**

Dealer scheduled pickup for tomorrow in the early evening.

This is strange - do you know why your build is so late? I ordered in 1/16 and the car is already on a boat.... 2017 430i xdrive M-Sport BSM

Mine just got to the port in Brunswick, GA. It's coming to NC, so hopefully it'll be here next week!

Were you on Orion Highway? That's where mine came in yesterday, but taking PDC delivery.

Yes, mine was on Orion Highway as well. This is my first bmw (and first new car), so I'm pretty excited for it to get here. I'm not sure how long it takes to unload the car and be put onto a truck, but I assume it should be here very soon.

I'm going to blame the dealer for now, as they have not been easy to work with and I'm not entirely convinced they have any clue what they are doing. Will post updates...

According to My BMW, the vehicle is now in production.

Best of Luck … Mine’s scheduled to be stateside 3/1. I found things move pretty fast once you are in production. I entered production on 1/26 (per dealer - site and 800# updates were a couple of days behind). So that should give you a sense of the timeline…The ship is right smack in the middle of the atlantic now...

[JDMAF]

was very excited to learn that my vehicle has boarded the Galaxy Ace today in South Africa! Woohoo! Expected to arrive in New Jersey on April 7th. Ugh - must be travelling to the south pole first.......ordered Jan 25.

just signed up on website to track the boat - sure enough its underway heading south from the port hugging the southeast coast of south Africa - has to round the Cape then head north. Long trip but at least its cruising at 15knots

I had the same problem. Try switching to a different tracking site...I worked for me.

Good idea: I went to fleetmon.com and spent $16 for a 2 week subscription. The Galaxy Ace is now up by the Ivory Coast and making good progress to Spain where it is expected in 8 days. Dont know why ths excites me - but it does!

Dealer should have VIN once it enters production.
