BMW Awaiting Carrier Assignment – What Does This Mean?

You may have been wondering what the BMW awaiting carrier assignment means?

Perhaps you have ordered a brand new BMW. While there may be various options at car showrooms, you may be disinterested in what is available and want to have your very own BMW build on the company’s website.

Hence, it is important to understand what the timelines mean. This way you know exactly what to expect when you order and track your new vehicle.

This is what we will discuss today and some key points to understand about it. Let’s jump right into it.

BMW Awaiting Carrier Assignment

You may have decided to build your BMW vehicle on the website. Now, if you want to learn more about what to expect, you may need to search for the Product Ordering Guide or the POG. This is BMW’s official guide from the factory. 

The price list may appear the same and you can check the cost of every car option. So it is good to determine what BMW vehicle you want before you go to your dealer.

Now, an allocation allows you to specify the BMW according to what you like. It is a slot for your dealership to place an order for your vehicle. Every dealer has different allocations, depending on how much the company sells. It could be 2 slots for the M3 for each month, or it could be more.

When a deal has been made for your vehicle, you then need to submit your order and use the allocations provided. But do keep in mind that it takes some waiting time depending on the open slot available to the dealer. 

After placing your order, you will be provided with a production number.  Then, you are entered in the company’s build queue. During the peak of pandemic, this process took about 8 weeks when the vehicle is coming from Germany or up to 4 weeks when from South Carolina.

Do keep in mind that if you do not yet have a production number, you will also not have an allocation. So, it is important to make sure that your dealer gives you both – a production number and an allocation. Otherwise, it can be a real problem.

The moment you have the vehicle in schedule for the production, you should get your car’s actual VIN number, which is provided on the website.

When you are ready to track your order and know more about the status, you can either call the Genius hotline or go to BMWUSA.com. But in most cases, the website tends to lag some hours behind. So, we highly recommend that you contact the hotline for more updated information.

For those who have visited the BMW plant tour down in South Carolina, they have observed that the car can take under 24 hours to be fully assembled once the paint has dried. In fact, you can even see the car being built as you walk through the BMW plant. From being in the paint booth up to the ready for transport status, it usually takes only 24 hours. The process is quite fast – yet it takes time to be updated on the website.

If you have opted for a vehicle with an individual color, it will be painted in a different booth. Hence, the process can take a bit longer – it all depends on the color you choose. In some cases, the color may be approved quickly by BMW but others can take longer or even denied. 

This is why if you prefer your order to be delivered quicker, then you may want to forgo an individual order. Otherwise, you will have to take a little longer.

Next up, we go to the shipping. There are many factors that come to play here, mainly depending on where your vehicle is built.

If your vehicle is made in the United States, then it leaves the South Carolina factory via truck or train. On the website, you can see the “in transit” status. However, once you contact the hotline, they will be able to provide the mode of transportation and the company shipping it. Thus, you can track your order online.

But in the case of a vehicle built in Germany, this means it will need to cross the ocean to get to your location. You can also call BMW and ask about the name of the ship then check your order through marinetracker.com. Among the ports include Charleston, Bremerhaven, Southampton, New Jersey, Halifax, Brunswick, Baltimore, Zeebrugge, and Galveston.

The car may take 7 to 10 days if you are on the east coast and may be more than 2 weeks if on the west coast.

After getting off the train or boat, your car will then go to the Vehicle Processing Center. This will involve an inspection of your car and check for any damage. If there are issues during transit, your vehicle will be repaired. There is a mechanic, restoration shop and paint department in the VPC.

And lastly, we go to the delivery process. After arriving at the dealer, they will prep the vehicle by taking the protective wrapping off. They will also prepare the iDrive system based on your specific region.

In the case of an awaiting carrier assignment, this basically means that the company decides on the carrier that will carry your vehicle from the factory and then to the port. Once the vehicle arrives at the port, a ship is assigned to it. 

The next step after awaiting carrier assignment is dispatched from the factory, and then at the port and in transit. The process depends on how fast the company is able to fill the carrier with vehicles being delivered to your area. Others can go for a few days to several weeks.

Final Thoughts

Ordering a new BMW vehicle may require some waiting game before it is delivered to you. This is why it is important to know what happens throughout the process and contact the hotline if you wish to obtain up-to-date information about your order’s status.

I learned something new today. I thought awaiting carrier assignment meant BMW/Mini were setting up the boat it will go on. I bet some of you did too. Nope! Awaiting carrier assignment means they are deciding which carrier will "carry" the car from the factory to the port. Get it, carry vs ship! Once it is at the port it is assigned a ship. I think the ship is assigned after the car is on it.

Which means after this status, the vessel info should be in the system even the car is still at the port waiting to be loaded onto the vessel. Right?

What are the status codes for those? They don’t seem to match what I’d been given (and which are the same as on the ten-plus year old MA/NAM threads)

Tommm check again. I was at port since May 17, yesterday showed in port, today now showing in transit! I believe it's heritage leader, not rhea leader.

Order/Production/Shipping/delivery Timeline

what does awaiting carrier assignment mean bmw

  • Add to quote

For those who are interested, or compulsive, here is the timeline for my 2020 750. July 8 Car ordered for a slot the dealer had for week 38. I was told Azurite paint would delay production anyhow; and my current lease is not up until November. Aug 12 Assigned production number. I was told completion was scheduled for Sept 20. Sept 11 "Production begins;" car stayed in "production begins" for a week; Sept 18 "Body assembly begins" Sept 19 "In the Paint Booth" Sept 19 "Entering assembly line" Sept 20 "Assembly in Progress" Sept 20 "Quality Check" Sept 20 "Final assembly" Sept 20 "Ready for Transport" Sept 20 "Awaiting Carrier Assignment" (the explanation says "a carrier has been assigned.") Sept 23 "Dispatched from Factory" Sept 24 "At the port" October 2 Loaded on vessel "Toledo" Boat tracked on MarineTraffic.com October 5 BMW phone tracking says "in transit" (I knew I was actually on the boat) Confirmed with Wallenius Willhemson site. Original estimated arrival in New York - October 16 Revised estimated time of arrival - October 17 (storm in the Atlantic slowed things down) October 17 Arrived New York October 17 "Discharged" (about 11pm) (from Wallenius Willhemson site) October 17 "Delivered From" (about 11pm) (also from Wallenius Willhemson site) October 20: the BMW on line tracking app is still showing the car "at the port" and did not move to "in transit" until it was unloaded in NY. October 21: BMW phone tracking says car is "in transit" October 21: BMW Genius confirms that car is at VDC; cannot give delivery date other than outside estimate, which is Nov 17. A month at VDC??? October 22: Dealer confirms car is at VDC and says they will attempt to expedite October 22: BMW online tracking still shows car "at the port." October 23: Online tracking still shows "at the port." October 24: Dealer informed me car will arrive by Monday or Tuesday Oct 28 or 29 October 24 Online tracking now shows "in transit." I believe the way the site works "in transit" means the car has left the destination port. However, the phone system reported "in transit" after it was on the boat leaving Bremerhaven. October 25: BMW app reports car is "At Dealership"; Oct 25 is a Friday. Dealer says they are awaiting title, expect it Monday morning and I can pick up Monday afternoon October 28: Car picked up. :thumbup:  

How did you manage to confirm your car on the WW site? Having trouble with mine  

PM me. There is still a way to put in the VIn and confirm the boat you are on. After that, it is tracking the boat through 3d party sites like Marine Traffic.  

In what town was your dealer located?  

suburb of New York  

The reason why I asked was because I have a vehicle coming arriving in a few weeks and I was trying to get an idea from your timeline as to the time it arrives in the Newark to the dealer. Could you narrow down your answer to Long Island, Westchester or points North? Thanks.  

Long Island. But once in port the ability to track is gone. In my case, if I am remembering right it took about 5-6 days from Newark to the dealer on Long Island. That's a 2 - 2 1/2 hour drive even with bad traffic. The dealer will want a day or so to prep it and they also have to wait for the title paperwork, so I think it was a about a week from Newark to my delivery. That was with nothing unusal to be installed at the port. The other variable is the availability of space on a carrier truck as they will usually want to group cars going to the same geographic area. Hope this is helpful and not just "it will get there when it gets there." At most points in the whole process, until the very end, I knew as much or more than the dealer knew.  

Thank you. Very helpful.  

I found the beginning post very useful. Anyone tracking a recent or upcoming build? What's your timeline look like? Just curious to see how fast/slow builds are moving during these challenging times. Is COVID causing build/transport delays? Was/is your 7 series build status on track?

Thanks for the feedback, Pretty fluid timeline, and nice to hear that your build arrived safely, and you are already enjoying it.

It is pretty fast, looking at the fact that this is tracking information of a car. It was assembled and delivered to you faster than my parcel from China. Four months ago, I ordered some details for my 3D printer from AliExpress. Usually, I use packet tracking to check the parcel's status, but this time I didn't really wait for all that stuff, and I forgot about the order. Last week the delivery guy gave me the parcel, and I even wondered what it could be. It was delivered so slow that I even forgot about it.

How long from "ASSIGNED CARRIER" to delivery to you?

  • Add to quote

Mine spent last week in Paint then QA checks, and is now in "AWAITING CARRIER ASSIGNMENT A carrier has been assigned to take care of your BMW." How long would that take average to get to California - and is this really having to be made in Germany and then shipped from there? Im assuming everyones experience is widely different due to carrier logistics these past years being fecked..  

what does awaiting carrier assignment mean bmw

There’s a well established thread on the matter on this forum. Took 2 months for me from awaiting carrier, but I stayed at that status for about 3 weeks. There are folks on this forum (and folks waiting for a car from the same dealership as me) who have waited much longer.  

what does awaiting carrier assignment mean bmw

I optimistically think the logjams are breaking. Mine went from out of production to assigned carrier to at the port in the span of four days. Awaiting to see whether it gets on a ship this week or not.  

WRT to “THE well established thread”, my point was that the thread contains many folks in the same situation. When I was in the same situation, I obtained some solace from shared misery… no calumny was meant on your searching skills…  

what does awaiting carrier assignment mean bmw

Mine was built 7/25 and awaited carrier assignment for just over 6 weeks, 2 weeks awaiting on a vessel and as of today on its way to Baltimore. I had one well informed genius say 4-6 weeks is average awaiting carrier and 6-8wks isn't uncommmon.

Actually only was in “assembly line” (being made) for 3-4 days. The rest of the time it waited to move to next stage(s). Figure it taking about 3 weeks on the carrier to USA east coast. It waited at Germany port about the same amount of time. Hope this helps. " -->

BMW "In Transit" Status: What Does It Mean? And How Long Still to Wait?

CarAraC

CarAraC auto mechanics and car experts

BMW is easily one of the most desired car brands on the market. It's thus no surprise many people buy it. As a result, certain models may sell out. If you're keen on a particular BMW model, you'll have to order it straight from a factory.

The journey from placing the order to receiving your BMW can be quite long. During this time, you can track the status of your order online. But to do so effectively, you must first understand what the different statuses mean.

in transit status in bmw what means

In this article, you'll learn the following about the BMW 'In Transit' Status:

  • What it means
  • How long it lasts
  • Why it sometimes appears several times during the delivery process
  • What statuses precede and follow it
  • What codes you may see instead

What does the BMW 'In Transit' status mean?

The 'In Transit' Status of your BMW is one of the final delivery stages. It's followed only by the 'At the Dealership' and 'Delivered' statuses. If your BMW is still in this stage, it means it's on its way to your local dealership. The 'In Transit' status refers specifically to the time when your BMW to the dealership, and not to the time when just sits at the port.

How long does the BMW 'In Transit' status last?

It's hard to estimate the exact amount of time your BMW stays in the 'In Transit' status. It depends on factors such as the number of orders the factory currently has. It also depends on the location where BMW manufactures your vehicle. This usually happens either in South Carolina or Germany.

Logically, your delivery will be faster if BMW manufactures your preferred model in South Carolina. It generally builds BMW X3, X4, X5, X6, and X7 here. If BMW assembles your model in Germany, it will have to cross the Atlantic Ocean. This can considerably prolong the duration of the 'In Transit' status.

As a rule of thumb, the 'In Transit' status can last anywhere from 3 days to a whole month. Ironically, the shipping takes much longer time than manufacturing your BMW. The building process rarely lasts more than a single day.

Why do I see the BMW 'In Transit' status two or more times?

Sometimes, the status of your BMW might switch between 'At the Port' and 'In Transit'. This is because 'At the Port' can refer to both the departure and arrival port. Remember, the 'In Transit' status refers to the time when your BMW keeps moving. Whenever it's being processed at one port or another, it will switch to the 'At the Port' status. This is because BMW decided to simplify its tracking statuses.

Where can I track the status of my BMW?

You can track the status of your BMW directly on their website. Alternatively, you can use the BMW Genius Hotline feature. But which one is the better option?

While website tracking may seem like an innovative feature, it won't meet your expectations. The updates are very lax, meaning it sometimes takes the system up to two days to load the newest status. This is the reason why the 'In Transit' status may last much longer than it's supposed to.

Using the BMW Genius Hotline is a much more accurate option, though you may have to deal with phone bills. However, the BMW employee will be able to track the status much more effectively. Ultimately, it comes down to your preference. If you want the most accurate status updates possible, go for the BMW Genius Hotline. If you can't be bothered with calling the Hotline, you can make do with their website.  

What does a BMW order look like from start to finish? 16 stages that precede and follow the 'In Transit' status

The 'In Transit' status of your BMW is just one of the many steps from ordering your BMW to receiving it. It's preceded by several other statuses. If you're unsure what they are, you've come to the right place.

Here are the stages of a standard BMW order:

1) 'Order received'

This is the first stage you should see on the tracking website. It means the factory has received your order and is beginning to process it. The 'Order Received' status is rather short, meaning you may miss it completely.

2) 'Scheduled for production'

During this stage, the factory has processed your order and scheduled the beginning of your BMW production. But that doesn't mean they start working on your vehicle right away. Depending on how many orders the factory has, it can take up to a week before they begin assembling your BMW.

3) 'Production Begins'

This means the factory has all the parts it needs and can begin working on your BMW.

4) 'Production stages'

Production stages list specific steps during the creation of your BMW. They include the following:

  • 'Exterior Body Assembly'
  • 'In the Paint Booth'
  • 'Entering Assembly Line'
  • 'Assembly In Progress'
  • 'Quality Check'
  • 'Final Assembly'

5) 'Ready for Transport'

At this point, your BMW has been fully assembled. The factory performs final checks and prepares to ship the vehicle to your location.

6) 'Awaiting Carrier Assignment'

Your BMW is now fully ready for transport. The factory only has to find the right carrier before it sends it off to your nearest dealership.

7) 'Dispatched from Factory'

This means your BMW is being transported to a port (if made in Germany) or to a train (if made in South Carolina). BMW ships most of its German-made models from Bremerhaven, even if they've been made in another city.

8) 'At the Port'

When you see this status, it means your BMW has arrived at a port. This can refer to both departure and arrival ports.

9) 'In Transit'

The 'In Transit' status means your BMW is en route to your location. If your car has to stop in multiple ports on its journey to you, the website may alternate between the 'At the Port' and 'In Transit' statuses. This is because the BMW tracking website isn't very specific.

10) 'At the Dealership'

At this point, your BMW has arrived at the dealership where you originally order it. This means you can go pick it up. Just keep in mind the tracking website isn't very reliable. Some buyers even report going to the dealership in vain. To make sure your BMW has truly arrived, we recommend contacting the BMW Genius Hotline as well. It far surpasses the website in terms of reliability.

11) 'Vehicle Delivered to Customer'

This is the final status update on your BMW delivery. The whole process can take a very long time, sometimes even more than one month.

The list of codes you may sometimes see instead of the status

Sometimes, you may have to deal with a complicated code instead of a simple status. For instance, the 'In Transit' status may simply appear as code 190. Some employees may also use these codes instead of statuses when you call the BMW Genius Hotline. If you're ever unsure what they mean, you can refer to this list.

Our final thoughts on the BMW 'In Transit' status

BMW is undoubtedly one of the most popular car brands in the world. Many people stick with it for the rest of their lives. But because of the high demand, your preferred BMW model may not always be available at the dealership. This doesn't mean you have to part with your dream car - all you have to do is place an order.

Once you order your BMW car, you can track its status on the company's website. You can also call the BMW Genius Hotline for a more accurate update.

At one point, the tracking website may display the 'In Transit' status. This means your BMW has been built successfully and is currently en route to your chosen dealership. Your vehicle may reach the dealership either by ship or train (or possibly both).

How long the journey takes depends on what model you chose. Some are manufactured in South Carolina while others are made in Germany. Thus, the 'In Transit' status can last anywhere from a couple of days to a whole month.

What Does Awaiting Carrier Assignment Mean BMW?

They are selecting the carrier that will “transport” the car from the manufacturer to the port when they are waiting for carrier assignment. Take it, don’t ship it! It is given a ship once it arrives at the port. I believe that once the car is in there, the ship gets assigned. May 31, 2022 #2.

In This Article...

rollermonkey

The rather annoying aspect of this is that BMW must be aware of a car’s destination (US East Coast, US West Coast, Europe, etc.) and the ship that VIN number is planned for. The level of this knowledge is “higher” than that of the BMW Genius team. On the BMW computer servers, this is probably accessible to the logistical employees and managers. I wish I knew someone at BMW on the inside.

‘A carrier has been assigned to take care of your BMW’; ‘A carrier has been assigned to take care of your BMW’; ‘A carrier has been assigned to take care of your BMW’; ‘A carrier has been assigned to take care of your BMW’; ‘A carrier has been assigned to take care of your BMW’; ‘A carrier has been assigned to take care of your BMW’; ‘A carrier has been assigned to take care of your BMW’; ‘A carrier has been assigned to

Edited to include:

Since the line itself chooses the loadouts for its vessels, I suppose it would just be the line at that point, but it seems like a tentative assignment should be present in that window.

Build status, 3B

The construction process is divided into several steps:

  • Order fulfilled
  • preparation for production
  • exterior body construction
  • the painting booth
  • entering the production line
  • assembling going on
  • quality control
  • last assembly
  • able to be transported
  • ready for carrier assignment
  • sent from the factory
  • During a trip
  • During the dealership

Depending on where you entered the queue when the order was placed, the time it takes to start producing the car can range from one day to a week.

US citizen. This morning at 6:26 am, the carrier ship “Hawaiian Highway” docked at the Port of Baltimore. My husband and I pre-ordered our 2022 BMW iXs on 8/18/2021; it will now be inspected at the Port of Baltimore and then brought to my dealership in Catonsville, MD. His iX is now in the construction stage known as “Awaiting Carrier Assignment.” However, his iX will also soon depart for the US from the Port of Bremerhaven. On May 10, 2022, the “Hawaiian Highway” sailed from the Port of Bremerhaven to the Port of Baltimore, USA.

Who is the carrier used by BMW?

Wallenius and Wilhelmsen are the most frequently utilized carrier for BMW, with Kline and NYK coming in second. The links to the various shipment schedules or search pages that BMW utilizes are provided below.

How is BMW transported?

Your BMW will have to go across the Atlantic if it was produced in Germany. Once more, call BMW GENIUS in the beginning so they can provide you with the shipping company the vehicle will employ.

How long does it currently take to get a new BMW?

Currently, the average lead time for new BMW orders is between 20 and 24 weeks. In addition to the four to six weeks of transit time that some models require, which is included in the average, lead times for electric and plug-in hybrid models are longer due to very high demand.

The firm informed us that while new-car inventory at BMW dealers is smaller than it has typically been, buyers may still browse what is offered online. Most new automobiles that are in stock can be delivered in less than two weeks.

How long does BMW take to ship out of the factory?

3-6 weeks to the US, provided it is rapidly loaded onto the boat, which priority 1 automobiles typically are. Following another 2-3 days at VPC, another 2-3 days are needed to go to Florida. Add additional week or two if you had ED. Realistically, early August would be the longest and middle July would be the fastest. Simply keep track of which boat it boarded to have a better idea of where it is.

How can you tell if your vehicle is a Priority 1 vehicle? My CS has been in “Quality Check” since the freaking 8th of June.

On the west coast, I was hoping to have by the beginning of August, but I’m confident it won’t happen right now.

You ought to be given priority if your vehicle was a customer-ordered vehicle. Ask your dealer to check your VIR; it should be there.

Since you received a CS, it is probable that it will remain at quality check for some time if US emissions, safety, or any other number of production-related issues need to be resolved at the factory. I wish you quick delivery!

Mine required 18 days. sent from the factory on 6/10. Accessed dealer on 6/28. I acquired it today. The My Garage, in my opinion, continues to be a few days behind schedule. My automobile is still shown as being in transit.

How lengthy is the BMW production line?

two to three weeks approx. They will provide you with the precise date the vehicle is anticipated to be completed if you email or contact the BMW genius number.

Where is my BMW located?

The simplest way is to consult BMW Genius or your dealer. They would be able to follow his allotment shipments in great detail day by day. Call them, and they’ll tell you the name of the ship. Prior to that, you can get a fair indication of your ship’s name by comparing the schedule you received when you ordered the automobile to the ships whose schedules coincide with the anticipated arrival date at the final port of entry.

How long does it take to export a BMW out of Germany?

From the date of drop-off, it will take every vehicle between 6 and 8 weeks to travel from Bremerhaven, Germany, to the East Coast and 8 to 10 weeks to travel from Bremerhaven, Germany, to the West Coast, where it will then be delivered in its whole. Be advised that leaving your car somewhere other than Germany will cause your arrival to be delayed.

How long are BMW vehicles stored at the port?

Week 2 production is currently at the port and there has been no change in that time. incredibly frustrated Going to Brunswick, GA in the hopes of boarding one of the upcoming boats

same exact circumstance. Lack of a clear method and not having previously ordered a car make the wait more unpleasant, especially when other cars appear to be shipping while some remain on the lot. No halt sales, btw.

I hear you, haha. Around the 12th, Donington will arrive at my port of entry. Recently, I was only curious how long it takes from the port of entry to the dealer.

Recently seems to be moving more quickly. Week 1 students received their automobiles quite fast. Considering that many people from weeks two and three are still in Germany

A BMW Performance front splitter, which is generally placed at the port of entry, is a port installed option on my order. Does anyone know if the car status keeps being “at the port” rather than changing to “in transit” aboard ship, till that option is installed?

No. The tracking will remain constant throughout. in transit from at port(exit) to at port(entry) to in transit

But I have a question for everyone because it seems like there is a gap in reporting when a vehicle is found aboard a ship. I’ve heard it could take a few days. Does anyone have any further information? That is, even though you might actually be on a ship that is 2, 3, or 4 days into its journey, you would still appear at the port.

I spent a brief amount of time at the port, but that was after spending more than three months in QC. I’m back “at the port” right now, but this time I’m waiting for a carrier on the east coast. Over a week has passed already. This past Saturday was supposed to be the day, but it might now be tomorrow. If one spot isn’t where you’re waiting, it’s another

I spent two weeks at the port. I’m hoping your automobile finds a boat soon!

What could I do if the vehicle dealership misses the promised date for the car delivery?

You recently learned that your car will be delayed. You must contact the customer service division of the automobile manufacturer after speaking with the dealer to obtain an updated delivery date. It will be in a better position to inform you of the delay’s cause, whether the new date is likely to be kept, and whether a goodwill gesture may be made.

Because the contract for the car is between you and the dealership, you’ll need to keep in touch frequently.

How can I find out the progress of my BMW build?

Additionally, the BMW Genius helpline is a useful source of information. Give them either a production number or a VIN at 1-844-4GENIUS (443-6487), and they should be able to provide general progress updates. You can contact us through email as well.

A dependable source of recall information is the NHTSA website. It’s worth entering the VIN into the search bar if your car has been sitting at the port for a while.

Electric and hybrid vehicles must have a charge level of at least 90% when they leave the dealership. Following the release of the iX and i4, this is a new requirement. It’s likely that your vehicle will need to stay at the dealership for a day before it is ready for collection due to the PDI (pre-delivery inspection), vehicle detail, and these charging requirements.

On any vehicle, Performance Center Delivery is an option. However, the plans must be made before the car receives shipping instructions. It’s incredibly challenging—and occasionally impossible—to change the destination of a vehicle after it’s loaded and on the road. Talk with your dealer as soon as possible.

Every vehicle also offers courtesy delivery. It enables you to pick up your brand-new BMW from a different dealership than the one you are purchasing it from. If the car dealer you bought it from is out of state, this is a good choice. While there may be a fee, depending on the dealer’s policies, it is typically less expensive than having to send the vehicle yourself.

How long does it take for a BMW to arrive from Germany?

BMW makes it incredibly simple to ship your BMW back home once your holiday in Europe is over. The following will be covered:

  • Inland Transportation in Europe
  • Boat Insurance
  • Duty and Clearance at Customs
  • Port Processing, S.
  • Fees for Wharf and Handling

There are 12 drop-off points spread over Europe:

  • Austria’s Vienna
  • Belgium’s Antwerp
  • Lovely, France
  • France’s Paris
  • Germany’s Bremerhaven
  • Berlin, Germany
  • Bremen, Germany
  • Bayern, Germany
  • Stuttgart, Germany
  • Netherlands, Amsterdam
  • Switzerland’s Geneva
  • Switzerland’s Zurich
  • ($662.52) Bologna
  • Tuscany ($783)
  • Genoa ($590.25)
  • Milan ($698.67)
  • ($975.74) Naples
  • Rome ($951.64)
  • ($662.52) Venice
  • (638.45) Verona

You would need to make a reservation and pay additional fees to drop off your automobile in Italy. Additionally, the car must be returned three days before the insurance expires.

Then, every vehicle is transported to a German port at Bremerhaven before being transferred to a port in the United States. While West Coast people must wait roughly 8 to 10 weeks, East Coast residents can anticipate their automobile in 6 to 8 weeks. Any vehicle delivered outside of Germany may require an additional week.

The car will need American parts once it gets here. clearance by the Department of Agriculture and customs.

How lengthy is the BMW quality check?

Three days is unusual because the “Quality Check” procedure usually takes one day. Fortunately, the unfinished cars are kept inside until they are finished.
