Who's on the Maersk Teal? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

LEDZEP · 09-20-2005, 04:16 PM

Our E91 has left Germany (Sept. 19th) on the ship Maersk Teal, bound for the port of New Jersey. She's due in September 30th.

Anyone else have new babies on this boat? If so, let's compare notes, updates, etc. here.

zumper · 09-21-2005, 05:16 PM

LEDZEP · 09-21-2005, 07:28 PM

Nikki - are you sure? NJ is a long way from south FLA. I would think yours would be coming in to South Carolina. I could be wrong...

Here's to hoping both our wives love their new cars! Congrats and good luck. Keep us posted.

It says it's stopping in NY, Baltimore, then SC.

LEDZEP · 09-21-2005, 07:34 PM

OK, that makes sense. Cool.

Here's to a pair of Arctic beauties traveling the Atlantic together!

Nikki · 09-21-2005, 08:08 PM

wee!! only a few more weeks!

nabutes · 09-22-2005, 03:23 AM

I was told to be ready to pick her up from the dealer on Oct 8th....Can't Wait!!!!

Argelius · 09-22-2005, 07:37 AM

I'm on the Maersk Teal as well. Was told it will arrive in South Carolina on October 5.

Sure wish they'd step on the gas...

Hornet · 09-22-2005, 08:59 AM

OT, but onboard Maersk Teal are also the first customer E60 M5's for NA market. There are lots of posts in the m5board.com about this.

LEDZEP · 09-22-2005, 10:48 AM

Has anyone found a way to get the port schedule for NY/NJ? My E90 came in at that port of SC and they have a great site that shows the ship schedules. The NY/NJ Port Athority site doesn't seem to have this ability.

I am on the Maersk Teal also. Congrats to everyone here!

Argelius, where did you find out that the MT will be in South Carolina on 10/5/05? I am scheduled to do a PCD and haven't heard that specific date. Actually, I was not told a date at all, just that it will be early October.

I emailed my salesguy and asked him what ship I am on and he told me the October 5th port date. Evidently the dealers have very detailed tracking about the cars...

I'd love to find a website that would graphically track the ship's progress across the ocean (via GPS), but I'm not aware of one.

Mid October (when I am guessing I'll get my car) seem sooooooo far away!

saalim · 09-22-2005, 12:15 PM

I am on the Maersk Teal :rocks: . I keep tracking it every hr......just cant wait :->.

I feel like showing up at the port on 9/30 and pick it up rite there

. Too bad thats not gonna happen

Does anyone know how long after a ships arrival does it take to actually be able to take delivery of the car?

scottz5 · 09-22-2005, 12:35 PM

Yea my e60 M5 is on the boat also. I wish!

It took about a week for my E90, but it came in at SC and had a further trip by truck. I still think allowing about a week or more is prudent. You never know how long it will sit, or how backlogged the prep center might be.

saalim : Thanks for the link. I wish NY Port Authority showed schedules.

nabutes · 09-26-2005, 10:17 PM

looks like the boat is going to be a day late getting into nyc...they pushed it to the 1st.

LEDZEP · 09-27-2005, 08:27 AM

Yep, these things happen. It's a long trip across the Atlantic and weather can also play a big role. It can also be stuck at port for days if the port is busy... they will offload perishable cargo ships first for instance.

I'm figuring I'll see the car around mid October. Earlier is great, but no need to get the hopes up.

saalim · 09-27-2005, 02:09 PM

Can you just imagine if the ship sinks in a storm!!!!

scubajag · 09-27-2005, 03:49 PM

I used European delivery. The vehicle was loaded in Bremen and off-loaded in Bayonne, New Jersey. The vehicle was trucked to South Carolina and then on to Florida. Just because the vehicle winds up down south, doesn't mean that the ship will necessarily transport it to South Carolina. I dropped off my car in Frankfurt on August 11th and it arrived at the Florida dealership on Sept 12th.
