Delivery to Los Angeles
I know some have been asking about the timing of west coast deliveries. As the tracker indicated mine left the factory this morning (03/04) I thought you could all join me to witness the agonizing wait for it to slowly trundle across the country!
Dates so far: 01/23 Order placed with dealer 01/26 Production number assigned 02/17 Scheduled for Production 03/02 Entering Assembly Line 03/04 Dispatched from Factory 04/19 Arrived at Dealer 04/20 Handed over!!! As for specs: 2021 X5 xDrive40i Phytonic Blue Metallic Ivory White Vernasca Leather Convenience Package Driving Assistance Professional Package Luxury Seating Package 2 Parking Assistance Package 20" V-spoke wheels, style 738 with all-season run-flat tires 2-axle air suspension Trailer hitch Heated Front Seats, Armrests & Steering Wheel Fineline Stripe Brown High Gloss Wood Trim I've asked for the bill of landing from the dealer but not had a response back yet. Pray to the freight train gods for a speedy run for me! Last edited by FloatingBob; 03-21-2021 at 02:35 AM.. |

Latest update courtesy of the BMW Genius hotline is arrival at the San Bernadino Vehicle Processing Center on 03/17. God knows how long from there to LA though!
Still can't get hold of a bill of landing. Geniuses (genii?) did't have it. |

Car is usually at VPC for a few days at most (assuming they don’t find anything major they need to fix) then will be put on a truck and at your dealer within a day.

Your dealer should be able to get the bill of lading for you.

A 19 day delivery would be cutting it fine as my current one has to go back on what would be day 20! But hopefully with delivery to the VPC on 03/17 I might get it a few days earlier than that.

Has your tracker updated to "In Transit"?
I ordered my M50i on 2/10 and the tracker showed "Dispatched" on 2/27. On 3/6 it updated to "In Transit". I'm also in LA but mine is being delivered to Santa Maria. |

Yes it has! I wonder if they're on the same train. Did your dealer specify a delivery date?

Not yet. Hoping to get a call tomorrow or Wednesday. Tracker still says in transit. The weekends are when I really obsess over it. I don’t have enough time to think about where my car is during the week. 😅

Status has been changed to "At the port" which is weirdly a step back from "In Transit" where it's been for the past two weeks. I assume they mean it's arrived at the Vehicle Processing Center in San Bernardino unless it's going on a quick cruise before handover...
It's a one hour drive away but what's the betting it still takes four days to get to me! Last edited by FloatingBob; 03-18-2021 at 11:44 AM.. |

That's very odd!
Mine said dispatched on 2/27, in transit on 3/6. Today it still says in transit. So it's been at least 13 days since the tracker updated to in transit. I wish there was a way to track this real-time instead of waiting for the site to update. |

IT'S AT THE DEALER!!!!
I pick it up tomorrow! So three days shy of two months from order to delivery, and 15 days from factory dispatch to delivery at a Los Angeles dealer. The "At The Port" thing is weird though... |

We might need to set up a local X meet in LA. Seems like there's a decent number of LA owners here. Can't wait to see some pics when you pick her up! |
