So your next challenge will be to work out which boat you're on and then track it across the North Sea (or Channel for southern dealers).

Let me know if you need a link to the sailing schedules.

How did you find that? I had to wait until mine was At Sea to work out which boat it was on, as neither Genius nor dealer could tell me.

It depends. A lot of the cars (all the Dingolfing ones I think - davidoff86 will know) go from Cuxhaven rather than Bremerhaven.

I didn't know BMW used Stena Glovis and tbh I'm not sure I'd want my car on one of their ships...

Sure you'll be fine though

You may get a pleasant surprise like I did last June, car was supposed to be just clearing German Customs and in fact was being unloaded at Southampton having been put on an earlier car carrier!

Certainly I am not sure, never followed any my cars this closely so all new to me, been told probably Southampton and from my very limited knowledge that being none 10 minutes ago, based on your info could move tomorrow.... David please inform me

Pretty sure mine is currently on ISAR HIGHWAY, according to genius left the port (Cuxhaven) yesterday morning and due in Southampton tomorrow, anyone else think they may be on the same ship?

Last night I was still at 9000, assume my car is not on that boat, whats your ETA to the dealer?

Edit: Just checked still 9000 so I have missed that boat

Interesting. I was under the impression that BMW only use UECC and DFDS, but as with all things it's entirely possible I'm mistaken
