The Production date that is given to you is actually the day it's scheduled to be completed. Had the same thing happen to my car.

I've seen a car recently go from loaded on the vessel to dealer lot in 22 days. Variables will be when production is complete and most importantly if you catch the next ship which seems to be around once a week. And also how fast you get from the US port to the dealer. But again, I've seen 22 days. My guess is that your car could be ready to load in around 11 days from now. I think end of June is possible.

Mine is in production as well - two days ago - port of delivery will be NYC/NJ - which is Newark. I was told target completion date is 5/27/16. From what I can tell the next vessel to the East Coast - is on 5/31/ and and expected arrival date of 6/15 or so. Thus could be tight but hopeful. Otherwise, next vessel is a week later.

LBB - Trust me I REALLY struggled - I was going to change up until as late as last Friday to MG, and decided not to. I saw a LBB on an X6 and didn't fall in love with it. Hence me being on the fence - everyone is telling me - the LBB will definitely look bold compared to the other colors.

I just spoke with the BMW Genius - they told me the estimate completion date is now 6/28. They also told me that the car will most likely sit for 1 week - could be up to 2 to be assigned to a vessel. So if I'm to guess probably looking more towards the end of June. They were also able to provide me with the VIN #.

Did you mean that the estimated completion date is 05/28, and not 06/28, correct? As I understand, you car is already in production ..

5/28 - oops - but they were not too optimistic about shipping - said it may sit a minimum of 1 - 2 weeks (-"

June 6th is week 24 according to BMW Genius calendar. And I'm also scheduled for the week of June 6th. Hopefully, I'll get news in the next couple of days. Do you know if they batch the cars by color?

Do you mind sharing your M2 specs?

What are you specs? Mine are AW, DCT, Exec Package .. I'm afraid they may be scheduling based on certain color choices and options.

Could be - mine is LBB, MT, EXE and I was going to change the color up until last Friday and was told if I changed the color, it could shift or delay my delivery. Mine went into production on Tuesday of this week.
