Interesting. You can try calling NA again. Only half of them know what they are doing.

My CA just got back to me and claims my car has been in status 155 for so long because they have been waiting for an engine. Apparently, I am now status 182. I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not about the engine thing. Isn't the installation of the engine one of the first steps on the production line, and if so; doesn't that imply something was discovered in QA that required a replacement engine?

Just happy there's a status change at this point!!

I think they all go to Brunswick, GA for east coast. I'm a Houston delivery and they told me it's set to arrive in Brunswick. Otherwise, Galveston is the closest port to Houston.

So I found out I'm on the California Highway. Arrival has been pushed back to 12/13 from 12/10.

The port of arrival is Baltimore for some reason.

Sailwx.info is far more accurate.. You can google the port for the boats eta. Vessel finder was real Time in Panama going through the locks..

Hope that helps you find the information you're looking for. My m4 enters port tomorrow night at 930 pm and those are the sites I used to track it. They were pretty much spot on with 6 hour updates Sailwx.info

Looks like the Don Juan landed in Brunswick last night. Many of us were likely on that carrier as I was. Let's see how long it takes for our cars to clear customs and get to our respective East Coast dealerships.

I am on board the California Highway and I was able to grab a couple screen caps of it passing under the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, pretty cool.

My car has arrived in Brunswick, now the VDC/VPC and a truck. Not sure how long it will take from here but I really hope to get hands on it by Christmas.

So my CA is avoiding me as he hasn't responded to my email and not answering his phone.

A rep from a diff. dealership called today as a followup though and we had short convo regarding this ship. He mentioned that it arrived Sunday, which he had wrong, but also that he's called his one customer with an incoming M3 to be ready to pick it up this Friday or Saturday.
