That actually sounds like it happens before your last status. I wouldn't rely too much on BMW's system. Use it as a general outline.
Keep checking the shipping site, instead. They will most likely update before BMW.

Where do you get updates from like in the paint shop? I havent gotten any updates from the OC website, on the BMWNA phone number all they have told me so far is that my car is in production and should be done on the 31st.

Cross-post from the Integrity thread since it may be of more general interest:
My car was "discharged" from Integrity on the 25th according to the W&W info. The OC web page and the 800 number haven't updated in a while; the customer service rep at the 800 number said they had no further information, and that they wouldn't be getting anything more because now "the car belongs to the dealer." So I fired off an email to my salesperson and got a reply that BMW says to "expect the car by April 4th" That seems like a longish stay at the VPC. I hope that this is not because there's body work to be done. The trip from Jersey to my dealer is not a long one.... in miles anyway. The Boheme was supposed to arrive in NY before Integrity, wasn't it? But it seems like it discharged its cars a day later? Looking at the W&W site using the Bill of Lading method of cargo tracking it seems like there were an awful lot of vehicles discharged in NY over the past few days, so hopefully the delay is simply because they are very backed up and busy there. There were two Integrity stops in NY. The first stop, where my car seems to have been discharged looks like it may be this place: http://www.neautoterminal.com/ This looks like it may be a place where BMW can farm out its VPC process? All speculation on my part. I will be happy to stop speculating and start driving. So far, not a terrible adventure: 2/23 ordered car 2/28 scheduled for production with no confirmed production date 2/29 estimated completion 3/5 3/4 In the body shop, estimated completion 3/5 3/5 In the paint shop, estimated completion 3/5 3/10 Integrity leaves Bremerhaven 3/14 Car shows up as cargo at W&W site 3/25 Integrity arrives NYC (1 day late) and discharges car. Good luck to those of you waiting for later ports! |

Still waiting at the port! Production completed on the 20th, didn't get to the port until the 25th, and now the car sits and waits. Agony!

Mine made it out 4 days after production was completed. You could probably make it on the Courage on the 9th or a KLine ship a couple days before then (if there is one).
I wouldn't count on making it out on 4/2. Not that I want to burst your bubble but it's just what I've observed over the last month or so.
