in my case, it was about 6 weeks from start of production(as reported on the BMW USA website) to the day I accepted delivery

this is from the notes that I kept last year:

X1 xDrive28i M Sport - production scheduled

April 10 production begin

April 16 ext. body assembly begin

April 18 paint booth

April 21 assembly in progress

April 22 awaiting carrier assignment

April 23 dispatched from factory

April 25 at port in Germany

April 27 to May 17 car carrier ship at sea

May 18 ship arrives in the US(Brunswick port, Georgia)

May 22 car delivered by truck at BMW dealer

May 23 took delivery from the salesman

EDITED: I meant 2 months and not 2 weeks.

If you're east coast USA I would plan on 2 months as a rough estimate. The unknown is the time it sits at the European port waiting to get on a ship. Historically, that can be from a few days (as in the example above) to a month or more in some cases.

If on the west coast, add another few weeks.

You can get some sample timelines from 2024 at https://u11.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...ighlight=build

when that huge container destroyed the bridge in Baltimore earlier this year, my friend's order was delayed by over 2 months.

Thanks for the info. With the stop sale and no end in sight this seems to be a logical step

Thanks for the link. My brother in law had his build drop into the ocean when they were taking off the ship! 2024 build in June purchased off the lot in August. Then stop sale. Don’t want a 2024 delivered later than oct. seems prudent to just build one
