I ordered a 335i sedan on Feb 21st, it was Production Completed on March 5th. It's coming to the US from South Africa. Can I use the same shipping website to track ships from South Africa?

Anyone else have a car shipping from South Africa?

Placed order Feb 22d
Production complete March 5
In Port waiting for Vessel March 10
If, like me, you're waiting for a boat to New York, it looks like W&W has pushed the departure of the Elektra out to March 15th for a March 29th arrival.
The Independence II leaves the 19th and arrives April 1.
Does anyone know if the number one should enter at the W&W site is the entire 17 character VIN?

Hi is your car waiting to be shipped to a port? If so it takes awhile to get to the port of Durban by train to wait for a ship to Germany then to wherever you live if on the West Coast it will change ships and that will take about 25 days or so. I ordered my car Jan 4 and will arrive here at Port Hueneme March 24 and hope to get to me the first week of April a total time in the water of 50 days plus waiting for ships.

NJANDY · 03-12-2008, 05:51 AM

I finally changed to "at port awaiting shipping vessel"!! Hopefully i will get on the ELEKTRA on Saturday.

Did anyone figure out if you needed to put in the whole vin in the WW website?

Hunter399 · 03-12-2008, 07:18 AM

Yes, you need to enter the whole vin

Hunter399 · 03-12-2008, 07:21 AM

The 1800 number says im in transit!!!!! wooooooo

pcchavez · 03-12-2008, 07:21 AM

Competition in Smithtown. It's been a good experience so far.

gtrokin330 · 03-12-2008, 08:48 AM

my car is officially "En Route".....how do i find out what boat its on??

NYCe92 · 03-12-2008, 09:02 AM

Ordered: Feb 16
Completed Production: March 4
In transit as of today.

I'm assuming it's on the Integrity, but my VIN doesn't show up on the shipping site.

Archangel621 · 03-12-2008, 09:09 AM

Yeah, you are both probably on the Integrity. Your VINs will probably show up soon.

It took a few days for mine to show up. At this point, it looks like both the Boheme and Integrity will arrive in NYC the same day.

The Boheme has already been pushed back 2 days.
