How Long Was Your Car at the Port?

Just curious how long everyone's car was at the port. Mine is having some carbon fiber options as well as MPE, it's been there 4 days, including the weekend. Is that normal?

My car arrived at the port on Thursday or Friday. I am also getting MPE. What port is your car located at?

"At the port" can take some time.
At least 1 week.

It will be longer if you have transport damage that need to be repaired or additional parts that need to be installed such as the CF MP parts.

8 days for mine. I had nearly every carbon fiber option. But, I don't think that adds more than a day at most.

Does anyone know how I can find out when my car will be placed on a ship? My car has been sitting at the port in Germany since Nov 29th. The vehicle status tracker still just says "At The Port". My dealer has no additional information. I even tried called BMW Germany... they said they don't provide information to USA customers.

I placed this order on November 12th.

Also, how long is the transit time from Germany to the east coast port?

It is hard to say how long it is at the port and seems to vary. Assuming nothing is wrong with the car, it really is in the hands of the shipping company. You used to be able to track this by using your VIN and putting that into the shipping company website and you could see what ship your car was assigned to (I haven't tried this in a couple of years so still may work). From there you could use the maritime tracker to see where the ship was and when it was going to be in port to pick up your car and its scheduled time to arrive on the east coast.

From there its usually 7-10 days to get to the east coast but also varies on where else the ship has to stop. A lot of times the BMW ships also stop at southampton to pick up MINIs before they hit the open water.
