Car at USA Port

pgershon · 10-12-2023, 09:05 PM

Has anybody's car advanced from the USA port to the dealership? My salesman thought BMW might be holding them their pending official release of car. Mine arrived in NY port (actually NJ) Sunday and has made no progress since.

My i5 has been in Baltimore since October 4.

For a personal point of reference, last year my M3 arrived to Baltimore on July 9 and was in transport on July 21. The delay back then was the trucking backlog but I think that’s over.

I think once cars get to dealers, it will be very hard for them to be left unsold (dealers dont want to carry the inventory). But BMW can hold back deliveries as long as they want. And no plans seem to have been announced.

Dealers aren’t supposed to turn over cars to customers until October 28 so they are probably holding them at the port until that day minus transportation and dealer prep time.

My dealer confirmed my M60 was picked up by the transporter yesterday. Coming from GA to FL.

Mine left for eastern long island yesterday and should hopefully get to dealer today
