On an amusing side note, I think it’s funny that my original post has taken on a living breathing life of its own! 😄

I was thinking the same thing! I can't believe it's on page 26.

I used this one instead of creating a new one mainly to keep inflating it so this forum can also have one of those hundred page threads like other forums/sites do.

Do you have any updates on your cars at the port? My car is waiting for the Delivery Stop fix. There is still no update on pricing.

I haven’t bothered to call anyone, I’ll just wait for the dealer to tell me they have the car. The fun part was the shipping and Panama Canal, this part isn’t interesting.

NHTSA shows 2 stop delivery recalls open on the i5 with end of Jan production dates, so I’m sure that’s why it is still at the port.

Very normal. It might stay in that stage for weeks before it actually truly goes into production. Google “BMW Chrome trick,” and if you follow the steps you can see some hidden data on the myBMW website including your actual production date.

Same with mine. Actual production date is 4/17 for mine, so I don’t expect the status to change until around that date.

In the past couple of days, my status has already changed to “exterior body assembly begins” and “in the paint shop”. Moving right along…

Congratulations! Be sure to post your thoughts after having a chance to drive it for a bit. Also, some additional pictures would be nice too - especially ones without the attached external transportation system. :-)

It has been almost 10 days at Hueneme VPC for delivery stop work orders. Genius provides no ETA. I don't have much hope for April delivery anymore. Probably this will be the my last BMW order.
