Mine is supposedly, but with the stop delivery who knows when I'll see it

Edit- just looked up the Columbia Highway on Marinetriffic.com. Unless their route is incorrect on marinetraffic, the ship does not go anywhere close to Brunswick GA which is where mine is supposed to come into port. Hopefully it's just an error with the site.

Mmm.. I'm not sure what port its going to now that i think about it. How do you know which port your car will be dropped off to?
I believe this ship goes to Baltimore, then SC.

Also in regards to the stop delivery, would they fix that at the dealership? I drove mine around in Europe with no issue... i wonder if mines effected?

I know that my car is coming into Brunswick. Same as my 1M did. I'm just not sure what this ship is doing. I did ED on mine as well and I'm 99% confident that if yours is coming into port the same time as mine that you are effected. You better call your dealer.

My dealer is clueless most of the time... and i doubt they could do anything to help anyway.

I guess we just wait and hope for a fix?

Just spoke to a BMW Genius. My car (M4) is on the Columbia Highway, and is scheduled to arrive in Brunswick, GA on 8/4. From there, who knows, but I'm glad she's not still at the port.

I wasn't expecting it to get here quite so fast, so I feel like I'm ahead. Hopefully the fix will be quick, and I can do PCD around this time next month.

If our cars end up sitting at the port for 3-4 weeks like some people on here due to the stop delivery.. i wonder if BMW would compensate us?

No, but I haven't bothered to reach out. I wasn't expecting to be able to pick up my car at PC until after Labor Day, so if it gets here this week, and takes a few weeks to fix, I'm ok with that.
