I'm just talking about a status change in the app tracker. I presume that it is currently in Richmond. My dealer today confirmed that it is on course arrive this week.

Just picked mine up. There were delayes @ Richmond, but not too bad.

I know you were referring to the status change, why I asked was we were guessing if both of ours came in on the same train or not.

Ethanol thinker, congrats!

Finally, the status on My Garage page just changed to 'In transit' a few min ago (Was still At the port an hour ago)! This matches what Genius and SA told me that mine should arrive at Roseville today.

My Garage status just changed to At the dealership! Waiting for my SA to call me to see when the pick up will be…

Interesting... I'm 2 days ahead of you in the production timeline, yet, I'm still 4-days "at port". I can only hypothesize that it's because there was a truck going up to Sacramento, so they prioritized you to get a full truckload.

Mine is a Bay Area dealer, it's probably plenty of Bay Area cars to process, and I'm just in line.

Will be picking up my X5 tomorrow morning. No deletions from what I was told, but I will believe it when I see it….

You mean "when you touch it"?

[cantgobak]

Definitely a possibility since you’ve got a lot more people in the Bay Area with $$$ from Silicon Valley than people here from farm lands….. :-)

How many days were you sitting at Richmond Port?

[cantgobak]

Flying Ace Here’s the timeline I responded in another post earlier today….

10/5 - Got the production number on the same day I ordered
10/7 - Production begins (couldn’t be more than 4 days, if I recall correctly. Status got stuck her for the rest of the way, was a bummer for me because I quite enjoy looking at change of status knowing what it’s doing)
10/22 - Dispatched from factory
10/27 - In transit (on the train)
11/10 - At the port (Richmond port. Note: I believe it arrived at Richmond port on 11/8, which is what Genius told me, but it took 2 days to process and check in at the Processing center before the status changed from In transit to At the port)
11/16 - In transit again (on the truck)
11/16 - At the dealership

Oh, nevermind! You were 3 days ahead of me in production. Yeah, You're 100% deletion safe. Mine was the last day prior to deletion.

Welp looks like it'll be a photo finish whether I can take delivery on Friday.

woot woot, mine just cleared richmond today and is back to "in transit".

So that's 11/12 - 11/17 at Richmond Port.

[tompagano]

Mine, at least according to mygarage, was "at port" 1 day, then at the dealer the next .... BUT, once mine left the factory, a day later the status changed to "in transit [to dealer]" even though that was impossible and it was only weeks later that it popped back to "at port".

Flying Ace Very nice! So that should mean it’s on the truck to your dealership! I picked up my earlier this morning! Took about 3 hours for the whole thing…. I was impressed with the xLine, looks awesome and honestly so much better than I expected in person…. Got everything with no deletions and yes I touched the screen so it’s touch screen enabled…. Got lucky! Now onto the never ending hole to contribute to the economy!

Does anyone know where the actual BMW Richmond VPC is located? I was able to find the Oxnard VPC but not the Richmond one.

I think that's because Oxnard is a Wallenius Wilhelmsen VPC (i.e., ships), whereas Richmond is a BNSF VPC (i.e., trains):

BNSF
Richmond Vehicle Facility
861 Wharf Street
Richmond, CA 94804



If you look on google maps you can see all of the rail lines connecting into a giant parking area for car carriers & cars:





EDIT: BTW, here's Kansas where they swap over to BNSF from Norfolk Southern:

Kansas City Vehicle Facility
301 S 51st. St
Kansas City, KS 66106



EDIT #2: Further Nerd Out! Here's the NS loading zone at BMW Spartanburg - right in the freaking facility!





Then here's the Kansas NS site

Norfolk Southern Kansas City Service Hub
12801 NE 41st Street
Kansas City, MO 64161
Vin Capacity: 5,563
Railcar Spots: 175
Acreage: 82

In this pic, BNSF auto is labeled to the south, and NS Auto is up north-east by "fedex ground" so somehow they must make a rail car switch:

Thank you!

Not helpful. No where on the map indicates locations of sentry towers, dragon's teeth, kill zones, anti-aircraft equipment, ammo depot, command and control facilities, ,terrain, communication lines. How do you expect any of us to work this info to rescue our X5s?

As soon as the X5 gets there haha
