Yes - South Carolina.
Per my discussion with a BMW Genius, the vehicle goes through these steps:
- after completion of build, it awaits a carrier assignment
- once assigned, it goes to the "Port" where it waits to be put on the carrier
- Carrier takes it to a "Vehicle Processing Center" - for us west coasters, its in Oxnard California (not sure about other centers)
- At Vehicle Processing Center - vehicle undergoes another inspection, and any issues are fixed
- Once inspection passes, vehicle is sent to Dealer
What I'm not sure about is what "In transit" means on the MyBMW tracking page. Does that mean on its way to the processing center? Or that it's left the center and is on its way to the dealer? Or both?
My X7 has been "at the Port" for several days, and I'm told it will arrive in Oxnard on 10/7. I asked for how long it will take from there, and the Genius said really couldn't say. I pushed and asked if it would be days, weeks, months, and she said it shouldn't be months but wouldn't say more. I'm guessing it all depends on how extensive any issues they find.
