Production complete but release to carrier wait is already 12 days

The production my 550i has been completed but it has not been released to the carrier for already 12 days. Has anybody exprianced such a delay at this stage? The lenght of this process seems fairy uncommon as there seem to be more comon delays in the port etc. Is it possible that the tracking system is not aligned with the actual process stage?

The tracking system is typically behind by a few days. It's possible your car is already on a ship. Your dealer can give you the most up to date shipping info including the name of the ship.

I asked the dealer for the vin number and the vessel name and I was told initially that they have the same info I have. I did not buy it and now they are "looking into it". I hope I get it in time for the July 4 weekend

I was the same way - tracked the ship every day and even captured webcam pics as it went through the Panama Canal.

If you are that excited about your car, you should've done the European Delivery thing. Everyone I know that did it loved it.

There you go. Cancel your order and order a 2016 (production starts in 3 weeks) and fly over to Germany to pick it up
