I hear ya -- I was losing sleep... I still have my VIN memorized though - its burned into my mind with all of the checking I've been doing...

johnnymu · 09-12-2007, 01:33 PM

woohoo i'm on courage, it's all good. hey mstnng, you're also in ohio did your dealer say when the car is going to arrive?

mstnggt66 · 09-12-2007, 03:52 PM

No, my CA is worthless. Once he makes the sale he's very inattentive. I was going to wait until it lands in SC to start bugging him on a daily basis.

johnnymu · 09-12-2007, 04:05 PM

Same here, it's like as soon as they get the ok with the sale they just move on to the next sale. Hey you're in cleveland, nice Go Browns!! by the way hate this "who gay" city.

Ausgang · 09-12-2007, 04:11 PM

Thank goodness!

It looks like I'm riding along with all of you guys! My CA told me yesterday my 335 made it onto Courage, and sure enough, WW's site confirms my VIN as on the ship.

Now, I just have to think good thoughts about the crossing and the weather, and make sure there's no repeat of the "TriColor" episode. (Don't even think the thought!)

Smooth sailing.....

H0bb3z · 09-12-2007, 06:11 PM

My CA estimates it'll be about a week after the ship docks that the car will show up at the dealership. If everything stays on schedule, that'll put it at about 10/7 when I get a call from the dealership... We'll see...

wannabe_MW · 09-12-2007, 06:22 PM

YAAAY ME!!!! IM ON THE COURAGE 2!! I meant my 535i is on the courage!!
my car finished building on 9/7/07 !!

I have been waiting since july for this car!!

H0bb3z · 09-12-2007, 07:44 PM

Welcome aboard! Err, welcome to your car.. I mean, my car welcomes your car.. Uhh, nevermind. That just doesn't work...

Congrats!

I have no reason to suspect it has changed, but this is how the country waws served by the VPCs when I researched this topic for Roundel about 7 years ago. Based upon the information I was provided back then, I created this little map as a reference. It sure seems Ohio would be served by NJ's VPC.

yomash · 09-13-2007, 10:00 AM

Is anyone else annoyed that the ship hasn't reported its position in 24 days?

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...l?call=WDC6907

or am I looking at the wrong place

You're looking in the wrong place. Sailwx is for crossing over the atlantic. Vessel Tracker is for within Europe. Here's the latest sattelite. These are dated. W&W is reporting different.

yomash · 09-13-2007, 10:24 AM

i c, thank you... man its got a long way to go...

Something must have changed. My CA just confirmed my car is coming in through SC. I read on the internet somewhere that BMW was trying to phase out the NY VPC because of pollution damaging paint finish.

Port of Zeebrugge Information

mstnggt66 · 09-13-2007, 01:15 PM

It's been a slow day at work. 1062 cars to be unloaded at Charleston, SC. Here's the Bill of Lading. How long would it take the VPC to go through this quantity? I'm just going to assume the worst that mine goes through last.

Yea, i hear ya about work.. maybe since its almost Friday.

My VIN wasn't on the last sheet, so I'll be unloaded in Jersey most likely? The ship is making multiple stops right?

Thanks for posting that. :rocks:

My new bmw is on page 5, though I wonder if there is any order to the bill of sale (i.e. loading or unloading order) ?

Also does anyone know roughly how long VPC takes ?

mstnggt66 · 09-14-2007, 06:06 AM

Courage in Southampton now. Departs tomorrow, 9/15 for Atlantic crossing.

73 of those are e92s -- mine included. Slow day...

My CA told me that my car should show up at the dealer about a week after the ship unloads in SC. I'm in Houston, so your estimated delivery might be different. Check with your CA to be sure...
