1/28 : 111 - Order Received
1/28 : 112 - Scheduled for Production
1/31 : 150 - Production Started, VIN assigned

2/10 : Estimated completion date advanced from 2/14 to 2/12

2/12 : Quality check (10am ish)
2/12 : Awaiting carrier assignment (1pm ish)

1/31 to 2/10 was the most stressful I felt. No updates, nothing and it almost felt like my life is moving in slow motion.

So SC -> AZ via train and truck I guess. 8-10ish days ? anybody?
Nice! I'm in Los Angeles. My timeline for the first X5 we ordered (long story; explained in another thread) is the following:

1/11 - Order placed and order received
1/11 - Scheduled for production
1/14 - Production begins and VIN assigned
1/20 - VIN showed up on M-Decoder and showed "Prod. Date of 2020-01-18"
1/20 - Estimated production completion date moved from 1/27 to 1/25
1/24 - "Entering Assembly Line" through "Quality Check"
1/25 - "Awaiting Carrier Assignment"
1/25 - "Dispatched from Factory"
1/27 - "At the Port" (later confirmed this was the SC VPC)
1/30 - "In Transit"
2/10 - Status changed back to "At the Port" (at the Oxnard VPC)
2/12 - still showing "At the Port"

According to a representative I spoke to at BMW NA, the car was supposed to arrive at the Oxnard VPC on 2/7, but this apparently did not happen until 2/10. Also according to the representative, it takes "a day or two" from when it gets to the Oxnard VPC for it to be in transit to the dealer. So I'm assuming the car would end up at the dealer by tomorrow or Friday at the latest. So total time from "Awaiting Carrier Assignment" to "Dealership" is approx. 3 weeks for Los Angeles. I'll confirm once I heard the car is at the dealership, though it won't make any difference since I'm not getting the car from this dealership anymore. Sigh.
