July Production Thread

alistair · 07-31-2007, 12:00 AM

Forgive me - where's "Main Line" ?

Mine's due to complete tomorrow, so I'm hoping (it'll be tight) to be at Bremerhaven in time to make the West Coast ships on Fri and Sat. The ones after that aren't until 8/17 I think.

If you have a production number or VIN, the 1-800 number is your friend (albeit two days old!). The folk at customer services (same number) are very patient though.

Isn't the wait excruciating?

Its cool, the Main Line is a collection of towns west of Philadelphia, such as Villanova... Bryn Mawr... Gladwyne.

Good luck with the wait dude.. but its worth it.

When did your car go into production? You might have just missed the European vacation schedule. Mine went into produciton yesterday and they are estimating completion on the 16th!!

!Xoible · 08-01-2007, 07:14 PM

shit. my car is on port waiting to be shipped

trey100 · 08-01-2007, 07:44 PM

At port is good. That means you made it out of the factory. I'm stuck in the factory until the 16th.

alistair · 08-01-2007, 07:53 PM

I'm waiting to be shipped to the port

outside chance of thus weekend's ship now...

oobi37 · 08-02-2007, 08:39 AM

I guess no one else in this thread made this ship (departed 7/17/07)?!?! It has been lonely (but fun as hell!) tracking her progress across the pond. She ported in NYC on Monday, so I am just counting the days now

bastula · 08-04-2007, 12:33 AM

Got my car tonight. More awesome than I imagined. It looks better in person and the Gray Poplar is exactly what I wanted. I'll try to get some pics up this weekend.

Grats on the ride. Ours is currently at the VPC and should be at the dealership on Wed or so. We got basically the exact same car except ours is Barbera instead of Montego. Can't wait to see pics of yours!

Almost here: e92 335i Barbera/Cream ZSP, ZPP, ZCW, Nav, 6FL, Sirius

Thank you. Grats to you too - it's so close! I posted some pics up here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76446

I should have some better ones soon. Going out of town and luckily I was able to get delivery just before I leave.

Actually, the dealler was really nice - I requested no front plate holes drilled nor any decals and he obliged. A+ on that.

!Xoible · 08-08-2007, 06:34 PM

im officially "en route" according to owner's circle. but could not find out what vessel or what shipping company it's coming on.

alistair · 08-08-2007, 06:37 PM

Only your CA will be able to tell you that.
When did your status change to en-route?

!Xoible · 08-08-2007, 06:40 PM

just this morning

alistair · 08-08-2007, 06:44 PM

In which case you're likely on TAGUS with the rest of us

Go to http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...trackType=Auto and enter your VIN - it'll confirm if you're on a WW ship.

Mine changed to "in transit" on the 1-800 this morning also.

Coldintake · 08-09-2007, 01:50 AM

What vessle is going to arrive in socal onthe 14th?

The Carmen (a Wallenius Wilhelmsen ship) is due at Port Hueneme August 14.
It is currently moving past Nicaragua. The voyage #ED729-CAR. You can enter your VIN at the WW website and see if you are on board. I am! :rocks:

when is this arriving?

i entered my VIN but said it couldnt find it. The CA called me today saying it will arrive on the 27th. Is this the same vessel?

alistair · 08-13-2007, 11:08 PM

I don't think you're on TAGUS then. You're probably on EQUULEUS LEADER (I may have mis-spelled that!) which is an NYK ship.

Your CA can tell you the name of the vessel you're on for certain.

EQUULEUS LEADER left a two days before TAGUS, and wasn't delayed in the UK - so that date sounds about right for that ship. TAGUS is now due in port around 8/30, but was originally due on 8/27.

How are you tracking CARMEN so accurately? TAGUS has now disappeared until it gets to the canal...

Coldintake · 08-14-2007, 10:06 AM

Anybody on Lyra leader?
I'm not on carmen, But the ship that i'm on is supposed to get to the port today.
