Production week to delivery in GTA

What's been the experience for the number of weeks of wait to taking delivery from a confirmed production week?

Thanks

Well, I knew when my car production was completed and I know (from the shipping company website) when my car was scheduled for shipment. So I know how long it was waiting at the docks.

Shipping is tracked via the shipping company.

From the shipping, I know when it lands in Halifax and a great member here E92LNGCGY was kind enough to help track the train, so I knew when it got loaded on the train in Halifax, time to travel, and when it got unloaded in Toronto.

Then, from the trucking company, my VIN appears once it has been scheduled, so I know how long the time between landing in TO and getting scheduled.

I hope this make sense, I am typing this really fast between 2 meetings. lol

Also, if you want more details about tracking, here is my other post.

Just got the call, looks like I should have my car on Friday. Here's the final timeline:
  • Feb 21 - Ordered for April production (unfortunately they couldn't get a March allocation for a Tanzanite Blue car)
  • April 06 - Production started
  • April 16 - Production completed
  • May 06 - Booked at port in Bremerhaven
  • May 11 - Loaded onto Don Juan
  • May 19 - Unloaded in Halifax
  • May 28 - Arrived in Montreal by train
  • May 29 - Loaded on truck in Montreal
  • June 04 - Delivered to dealer in Ottawa (wtf, 6 days for a 2 hour drive?!)
  • June 06 - MINE!!!
So almost exactly 3 and a half months from order to delivery, 7 weeks from production which seems to be pretty average.

Usually, if you did ED (European Delivery), they will ship your car from Halifax to TO by truck. This usually takes couple of days. However, majority will come by rail. If you have special pull with your dealer, maybe they will ship by truck, I am not certain.

Anyhoo... best of luck and welcome to the M family.

Glad I found this thread. My M4 sat at the port for almost 3 weeks From reading this thread that doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary.
It finally departed June 16th. From what I've read here it looks like it will arrive Halifax in the next few days, sit for the better part of a week then begin its journey to Ontario.

With any luck there will not be any unexpected delays and I will get my car in the next 3-4 weeks!

I put down my deposit in mid April.

All you need is the VIN. Enter it into the "Cargo ID" field, and your car will show up once it's entered into the system. You can also do partial VIN searches to see cars that are ahead of you (ie, just search for the first 9 digits of the VIN) ... it's not always reliable as they don't necessarily ship in order, but it can give you a rough idea of when your car should arrive.
