Congrats! Yes, I think it was delayed somewhere between Kansas and San Bernardino. It was supposed to arrive at San Bernardino on February 18, but arrived a week after.

Ah, mine was assembled on 2/15/26 arrived to the Greer VPC in SC 2/16/26; went dispatched then arrived in California (San Bernardino) 2/23/26; collected from tbe sales center on 2/26/26. So, 11 days from production to taking delivery. One of my last orders was delayed and took 2 weeks to get transported from SC.

Special thanks to Arman Hovakimyan at Valencia BMW for an insanely fast turnaround between order and production and an even better deal/discount. He is probably somewhere on the forum. He knows his BMWs.

Love the car. Don't love the iDrive 8.5 coming from iDrive 7. I think iDrive 7 was the peak for BMW.

11 days from production to delivery is very fast. I think everything aligned perfectly for the delivery of your car. Even based on genius estimates mine was supposed to get to San Bernardino in 18 days 1/30-31 production to 2/18 San Bernardino VPC delivery date. It probably missed the train twice lol
