I have tried my vin# also. I guess my car did not make it onboard. That is somewhat dissapointing but oh well. I also tried the BMW owners web page and it still says that I am awaiting transportation. Looking at the schedule provided by Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics, my next chance will be on the 3rd of Feb for an 18th of Feb arrival. In the mean time I am going to take a heavy dose of Idoncareamine.

It could be on board and just not updated yet, for whatever reason. The owners circle webpage is always behind, btw. At least by a week.

Well, you guys aren't alone. I called for an update this morning. Car was built on 1/25, Monday it showed waiting for transport to the port. Today the car is at the port, awaiting a ship.

I'm in NC, so my car will be going to Charleston. Hopefully it will get onboard the next ship (whenever that is).

335/6mt coupe, Jet black/Gray, poplar, htd seats, CA, spt pkg, prem pkg.

Thanks for the links, demosthenes!

I made the Liberty! That's the good news. The bad news is she is scheduled to visit every port in the known free worlds prior to getting to Charleston. She stops in Antwerp, Southampton, New York and Baltimore before finally going to Charleston on the 17th. Oh well, at least it's on the way.

Don't know about GPS tracking. Maritime vessels use a combinitation of AIS and something else. Those details are in the SHIP TRACKING GUIDE in this whole NEW CAR TRACKING sub-forum. It's stickied at the top.

UPDATE: Vessel Emden has a Charleston ETA of 2/11, 5:00UT.

Found it

The Maersk Wind is about 100 miles outside of Bremerhaven. My guess is they follow the coast south through the English Channel, then bang a right and head east towards NYC

My car status is in a stand still in the Bremerhaven dock for a few days now waiting for a vessel.

Anyone from Cali who's in the same situation as i am?

I came off the assemply line yesterday. I should be at the docks in the next day or so. Shipping to California. I think you have a good chance to make the sirius leader leaving on the 6th if you have been at the dock for a few days. There may be too many cars in front of my order, so even though I should be at the doc in the next day or two - I may have to wait for the next ship. Who knows, maybe I will get lucky and make the ship leaving on the 6th.

I've been waiting too. My dealer said that my car left port on 1/26... which would have been on the Aida, but I have not been able to confirm with VIN, which should have updated by now. 1800 # says I'm still at port. My guess is that I'm with you.

I'm crossing my fingers that i make the Sirius Vessel. (I'd be upset if my ride has to wait another week in the docks)

Do you have a link to the info you have provided on the thread?

Our cars are on the same ship. All the stops definitely suck.. WW needs a "BMW express" line. But yeah, at least it's on the way!

I am on the Mearsk Wind. I put in my vin# right before I was about to take another dose of Idoncareamine when it happpened. I had given up on seeing my car this month. Now, there is a very good chance I may have her by the end of the month.

I then called and talked to a rep and she said im on a ship and they cant tell which one because its not in their hands anymore that my dealer could tell me. Im assuming the Maserk that everyone else in on. Sweet this was a pretty quick turn around. Im
