Released to carrier and is waiting transportation to port of exit

My car status today is "released to carrier and is waiting transportation to port of exit" There is a ship on the 3rd and another on the 5th. What are the chances I will get on one of those ships? If not the next ship is the 15th.

Yesterday I called the 1-800 number and it was waiting to be released to the carrier, today I called and it's being transported to the port of exit. I have heard this info is also about 24 hours behind sometimes too. I was also a week 26 build, it got out of production last Wednesday.

I'd say there is a good chance you'll make one of those earlier ships. Mine stayed at build complete for around 5 days but once it had been released to carrier it moved quickly - the ship on the 5th is very realistic.

Got ya, I can't see that with the mobile layout. I was just asking because mine finished production on the 17th and I'm still waiting a carrier to the port. . .

On its way to the port. How far away is the port from the factory?

Let me join too! Mine is "transporting to port of exit" as well. However, I'm seeing this schedule (below). I hope to make the Integrity on the 6th.

Mine finished on the 17th, then it was transporting to port of exit, then waiting to be released to a carrier. Next it was being transported to port of exit again, until it finally changed a few days ago to waiting for a shipping vessel. Well today I entered my vin at the link below (as I do every day) and finally it's record was found and it was shipped on the Don Juan arriving 7/16. Hopefully you're lucky and make the next vessel, the last 2 weeks were a bit frustrating!

Leipzig to Bremerhaven is about 6 hours on the train (which is how they transport it there). Since you got an M4, that would be Munich to Bremerhaven, about 7.5 hours.

Mine is now at port awaiting a vessel. My dealer mentioned that mine would be coming into the port of Baltimore so idk what ship that would be.

Your car was produced the same day as mine and you made it on the Don Juan. . And MAB436 was produced 13 days after n is at least at the port. I need to figure a way to dig to the bottom of my situation. . Because if my car doesn't make it on next week's ship I'm scrapping my order n purchasing a '13 M6 at a local dealership. my plan was not to go all summer without a car, that's why I ordered in March.

The hotline status is still 'awaiting a shipping vessel with no tracking information available' and the site still says production complete. So maybe yours already shipped?

My status is Complete and awaiting a carrier, My SA doesn't know what to say. He said he usually only see this when it's being held due to a recall or service bulletin, but it usually states the reason in a certain section and he said nothing is showing up... also cars are being produced with all the same options as me and making it on ships?

Hopefully it's already on a ship and tracking is just delayed. Mine was scheduled 6/30 but didn't show up in tracking until 7/2.

It seems to vary, some people got on right away and others like me have waited 2 weeks or more at the port, awaiting a shipping vessel.
