Whoops I meant to write 5/25 and 5/28, May not April…it’s only been 5days, luckily not 5 weeks. I really shouldn’t be complaining- but it’s so close after waiting so long. I searched around various BMW forums and having to wait 1-2weeks for a truck to show up to the VDC isn’t completely unheard of, especially post-Covid.
Mine was also on the Hestia Leader and shows no sign of movement out of Port Hueneme. How did you know yours was released to a carrier? We’re so close!
My MA at the dealership (MINI Marin), though my garage doesn’t show any change. Hopefully today is the day!
Haha my MA at Marin just said she had no updates for me. Hopefully we’re on a truck and I’ll see you at the dealership soon!
No, my guy was CJ and then he left sometime over the past four months so Tess took over. My only option was roof rails which (from what I’ve learned reading this forum way too much) seem to be factory installed.
Ooh - The Grand Cosmo is a day ahead of the previous estimate I saw...hope that's actually the case. Is there any way to get an estimate for it's arrival in Oxnard? My MA originally said 6/16...
My guess is that the potential bottleneck is the Panama Canal. Once it squeezes past that, it oughta be smooth sailing to PH!
The Orion Highway just left the Port in Zeebrugge Belgium a minute ago. Next Port Baltimore June 12 and then Brunswick GA June 16 , Woot woot …getting closer.
100% confirmed, got an email from my broker and you were right, I'm on the Heritage Leader with you. It's due to arrive at our port on 6/23, she also said it took take up to a week to get to the dealer but the dealer said they would expedite it for me, they are cool, I bought my current Mini there too.
The last few days are so tough! According to 866-ASK-MINI a few days back, my SE was scheduled to arrive at Baltimore on the Donington on 5/30. Just a few days ago it went back to "at the port" (status 193) from "in transit". I haven't heard any updates from my MA. Anyone else with a recent Baltimore arrival expecting their Mini home soon? I found this to be strange twist in status and information communicated to me by Mini. Did my car teleport back to the UK? If so I sold my current car just recently because I was told my car was on the Donington and I’m short a car for a month! No bueno if that’s the case!
Would it be so hard for MINI's My Garage to add another dot for the destination port? MINI: "I dunno, those dots are pretty expensive!"
Like others mentioned, once your car goes from "In Transit" back to "At the Port" it means your car arrived at it's destination port. It should then switch back to "In Transit" once again soon which would mean it's on a truck to your dealer. It shouldn't be too much longer before it makes it's way to your dealership! Mine arrived at the Baltimore Port on May 28th, and was at my dealership on June 2nd. I'm going to pick it up today.
Got the call yesterday that my SE arrived at the dealership! Tentative plan is to pick it up next Friday.
And you didn't immediately drive whatever distance to your dealer just to see your fabulous SE? What an iron constitution you have!
Picked up my beauty today! Very happy to have it home 239 miles later! Efficiency seemed great on my trip home which was awesome.
Your black waistline trim is a major plus. It should be standard with the rest of the black trim, but worth the bucks to finish the job. Can't wait to hear how you think driving your SE compares to your Mach-E.
