He then also stated he’ll give me the best rate available on the day of delivery which I don’t doubt since he’s been a straight shooter this whole time and has offered me the base rate without any markups.

You should be fine. When you fill out the credit app you get a no-harm lock for the rate and incentives (not including domestic military). You get to choose which month's rate/incentive combination you want from when you order to date of delivery (assuming it is within your locking period).

Not a problem, I post any progress here... maybe both cars will end up on the same transport to AZ

Mine won’t be built until the 8th as of right now so hopefully you are already on your way here before then. 😁

He should be driving it by then. It usually takes about three days to Arizona once dispatched.

As of this morning (12/4/23) status is "at the port" so I assume my car is looking for a ride to AZ, may have it by the end of week? So basically 23 daze since VIN nr. was assigned...26 days since order(111 status).

Nice! Definitely sounds like you could be taking delivery by this coming weekend so long as you are on a truck today or tomorrow.

Never mind my previous statement. Sounds like you ordered accessories. At the Port (when no train is involved) generally means that it is at the Accessories Center getting them installed. Unfortunately that will add time to the process. We have seen up to 5 days or so extra just to put in a set of floor mats. Hopefully yours is a lot quicker.

Thanks TB, I guess it is what it is...
Didn't really think I ordered any "accessories" ?
Adaptive M Suspension Pro & Space-saver spare were the only items "ordered" that show up under "Options" on the My BMW Garage screen.

OPTIONS
Adaptive M Suspension Pro
BMW First Aid Kit
Black All Weather Floor Mats
Space-saver spare

The first aid kit and floor mats are doing it to you. The ironic part is that in the press release they said they were moving the accessories from dealer install to accessory center install in order to cut down on delivery time. What we have seen is that it has been increasing it about 3 - 5 days.

That Figures, anything to streamline the process and improve customer satisfaction! The dealers are soo overwhelmed with throwing first aid kits in the trunk and adding floor mats!

Perhaps we will in fact be on the same truck then! 😬😂

You can never tell...just got this message from my dealer:

I wanted to bring you up to date on your BMW. The vehicle has been released to the carrier and is heading to Tucson.


VIN: 5UX33EU00R 9U87512

Prod. No.: 4862387

Status: released to carrier

Act. Prod. Date: 12/1/23

Model: 24SJ X5 M60i


So who knows? I just saw a 2023 BMW M8 with 1,000 miles for $120K in the Audi/Porsche used car lot, so maybe I could pick-up a temporary ride for a week or two...

I just checked with my sales manager and he confirmed the APR is 2.99% until Jan 2nd 2024. Hopefully I will be getting the vehicle by then.

Is this normal, should I worry about delay?

"prodDate": "2023-12-06", but today is 12/04, but still shows status 150

Welcome to the forum. You will stay in status 150 until your production date or maybe the night before. It takes less than a day to assemble and for Spartanburg the pre-assembly line statuses are rarely shown.
