You'll probably get to the port between Wed-Fri this week and spend 10-14 days at port which means you'll likely leave Bremerhaven around the 27th. It takes about 25 days to get from Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme and this happens to put arrival a few days before Christmas. You'll spend a couple of days at VPC and then the car will be put on a truck and driven to your dealership which will probably take a few days depending on stops. I'm not entirely sure but there will likely be some holiday delays. You probably won't have your car until just after the first of the year. Sorry to be the bearer of disappointing news but this is the most likely timeframe. Unless by some miracle you spend almost no time at port and hitch a ride immediately, you could arrive before Christmas. My car is headed to Baltimore and East Coast shipments usually spend less time waiting at port because they fill the vessels more rapidly but I still waited over 10 days. Just be hopeful!

If mine follows suit it would finish production on my birthday.

kamichael · 11-10-2015, 03:31 PM

My F80 finished production 11/6 and is now at the port. The final stretch!

If my CA put me under priority 1 when ordering the car, will he be able to switch me over to priority 2 to lock in on the current build credit? Thank you.

Not sure if that would have anything to do with your priority but you could always ask the resident expert, Bmwguy11 .

I'm also interested to know when the next west coast ship will be loading. My car made it to the port on 11/3 and is still waiting as far as I know.

SMV_M4 · 11-10-2015, 04:33 PM

Evening Update.

zmaynard · 11-10-2015, 06:02 PM

Looks like ill be sending the C-17 Cargo Plane to pick up my car.

terahertz · 11-10-2015, 06:05 PM

WW seems to have the Manon leaving 11/15 and arriving 12/10 in port hueneme. Hopefully my car will be on that boat!

Adcampo · 11-10-2015, 06:29 PM

Priority has nothing to do with locking in programs.

kokovovoru · 11-10-2015, 08:38 PM

thank you.
I also notice that MyBMW doesn't really work, which just stuck in the same "Enter Production" status for a little more than two weeks. I had to call the BMW Genius to receive the latest update.
Is everyone experiencing this type of delay in status update?

The online tracking tool is more-or-less worthless. I wouldn't pay it any mind.

Just traded in my E92 M3 last night in prep for my Nov 30 ED for a new M4. Although I still have my other car, I feel naked.
