Order, Production And Delivery Timeline

Thought this might be helpful for those on the east coast of the United States ordering a 2 series Gran Coupe. This was my timeline.

8/4/2020: Ordered (received Production Order Number the same day)

8/24/20: Production Begins

9/3/20: Exterior Body Assembly Begins, In Paint Booth, Entering Assembly Line, Assembly in Progress, Quality Check

9/4/20: Quality Check

9/5/20: Quality Check

9/6/20: Quality Check

9/7/20: Final Assembly, Ready For Transport, Awaiting Carrier Assignment

9/8/20: Awaiting Carrier Assignment

9/9/20: Dispatched From Factory

9/10/20: Arrived at the port of exit Bremerhaven

9/17/20: In Transit (SHIP: Themis 20 days to cross Atlantic with four stops before reaching Newark)

10/7/20: Arrives In Newark

10/9/20: Released To Carrier

10/13/20: Arrived At Dealer

10/15/20: Picked Up At Dealer

The BMW 800 number and website sometimes provide conflicting information and do not seem to be up to date. For example, the information was telling me the vehicle was at the port of exit when it had already arrived in Newark. Then the day before it arrived at the dealership it was informing me that it was in transit from the port of exit.
