Wow, quite a few of us waiting at the port of exit! Should we start our own support group?
Hi, my name is Tom, and I'm awaiting delivery of my 1er and I'm an addict. |

24 days (ish)
My 128i moved this morning from Production to Awaiting Transport. Having read through countless blogs for the past 3 hours I think the general consensus is that once a vehicle goes to 'Awaiting Transport' it will be in the region of 24 days before you will be driving it away from the Dealership if you live in or around the Washington DC area.

Here's what the 800 number is providing, maybe this will help some ppl see progress.
Vehicle is in production with the est build date of ----. 03/16 Vehicle is finished build and is release to transport to carrier. 03/26 Vehicle is waiting to be transported to the port of exit. 03/27 Vehicle is being transported to the port of exit. 03/31 So, it looks like, it's going to get on the Mignon for 04/02 departure. Mignon's ETA to N.Y. is 04/17. Crossing my fingers!!

I ordered mine on 3/7 and its been sitting at the port since at least last saturday (3/21). How long could it possibly take to get on the ship! lol I'm hoping it gets on the ship that leaves today. Does anyone know if I'm in Chicago, where the car will be unloaded at?

I'm sure the dealer can tell you for sure. But I would bet on South Carolina since that is were mine is to be offloaded for Columbus Ohio, according to the dealer.

I just emailed my CA for my VIN. He said that production has been slowed at BMW and they are probably waiting for the ship to fill up before the send it out. But other 1er's are leaving lol. I am just crossing my fingers that it gets on the one today. But so far, its still "awaiting a shipping vessell" according to the 800 number.

Just got my VIN and put into the tracking site and it came up with no records found. So I'm assuming that means its not on a ship yet...

Yeah, I think I'm going to stick to the 800 number. That seems to be the most reliable for everyone.

Then likely u'll be on the ship leaving today. i would wait till tomorrow and call again, you might get that new info. Good luck, I hope it does get on that ship. This waiting stuff really sucks.
I do feel that it will be all worth it once you get to sit in a car that was customed to your liking.
