Very unlikely. Transported to the port of exit means it is on the way from the factory to Bremerhaven. It takes 2-4 days for that to happen, and then takes anywhere from 3-10+ days to actually get on a boat once you are at the port. Depending on where your car is going, it can take 15-20 days to get to the East Coast, then a few days to get thru VPC and to the dealer. I'd say you are likely a July delivery.

Thanks for the info. The car is going to Cleveland, OH (the land of the burning water), so I'm guessing it would come into the east coat.

I'm in Toledo and took delivery 5/29. My e93 came through Charleston and NOT Port Jersey. So when it's time to play the guessing game for which boat you're on, remember, yours has to go to Charleston.

Think about it. The pirates are going to check in eventually. They don't want you to get suspicious.

Definitely seems like he's the type to follow proper break-in procedures...

Thanks for the Friday AM laugh. That is a great pic.

It's a small possibility that I make it for a Joon delivery. My baby's on the Fedora with NYC as the port of exit.

I ordered on May 15, so I'm not complaining.

Looks like Partiot might get in to NJ port on Sunday night

J. Diddy · 06-14-2008, 02:56 PM

My status now says it's at the port awaiting a shipping vessel and that no shipping info is available yet. I'm sofa king confused.

That means that you have made it to Bremerhaven, which is the port in Germany where cars are loaded onto a boat. So you are basically waiting to get onto the next boat coming to your port of entry in the U.S.

xraymd said that Toledo cars were brought in thru Charleston, SC, but I'm not sure Cleveland cars would be - it seems so out of the way to come thru SC, as opposed to NY.

To the East Coast, BMW uses two transatlantic shipping lines - Wallenius Wilhelmsen, and K-Line. Check the ship tracking/order tracking threads that are stickyed at the top of this section for some great info on boat schedules, how to tell where your car is, etc. The WW site is terrific, allows you to get a ton of info, while K-Line has less info.

Back in my fanatical tracking days (OK, about 3 weeks ago), I found a site describing the SC facility that said it was the VPC for the entire Midwest. NYC seems closer to me too, but I guess that's how they have things set up.

If I lived in Southern California, there is no way I wouldn't be out carving up canyon roads, cruising along the beach, whatever, in that car... like every minute of the first week of ownership!

Did you sleep in it last night? If no, why the heck not?!

sayemthree · 06-15-2008, 01:58 PM

I did not sleep the first night - just did V1 hard wire and program NAV, phone etc. getting lunch and driving the rest of the day.
