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. |

Congrats on your purchase!
Picked up mine the same day, bet they were on the same ship! I noticed the same inconsistencies with the 800 number. Which trim did you get and how do you like it so far? |

Mine was on the Themis. I chose the Brooklyn trim. I have not driven it much yet. Since I have been working on it. I have coded it, tinted the windows and I removed the small black spoiler on the rear. I think it looks better. Do not like the fact that BMW eliminated Siri eyes free if you have Apple Car Play (which I don’t use). Also, I think the recommended tire pressure is too high. I love the exterior color ( Storm Bay Metallic) and the interior (Oyster). It has more features than I will probably ever need.
