The Oceanic hasn’t struck another vessel since June, 2013. Crew, let’s keep the streak going.

My car is on the same boat.

It's definitely behind. My status updated to "in transit" on 3/27. I called BMW Genius today and they said my car left the port in Germany on 3/23.

Depends on the step. I think it’s accurate for production. But “in transit” is usually 1-2 days behind.

Got it! There are 2 vessels leaving 3/31 and 4/1, making it to Baltimore on 4/13 and 4/12, respectively. I’m hoping that’s my ride!
Otherwise I’m running into Easter weekend for Baltimore arrival, and of course they’re closed!!!!

EDIT: ok, how long is the F&$!#%!!-ing train ride from Munich to Bremerhaven?!? It’s an 8 hr trip!!! Damn status hasn’t changed
since 3/27!!!!

UPDATE #2: Finally shows “at port”!! Hoping the Bimmer gods are smiling at me, and get me on that 3/31 or 4/1 boat!!!!

Glorious Leader docked in the NY port sometime early this morning. It contains my M340i, and I believe it is the first batch of customer M340i's to make it to the US.

My CA said he'll know more information about market release date when the cars hit the ground so I'll keep everyone updated.

[xraymd]

Let us know if you hear anything about the release date. That’s the only question remaining.

[Frank_NJ]

That is great news. I should take a ride by the port since it is close for me and see if I can see them.

My car made it onto the Tulane which is arriving on 4/14.

I just got a call from my CA, said it's on a boat and will take 2 weeks to get to land than 2 weeks by ground over here in western Canada!! He said I can expect it in 4 weeks

That's interesting. For PNW deliveries, the vehicles are shipped on a boat that docks in LA and then the vehicles are trucked up here.

Any German built car coming to Western Canada comes through Halifax as the port of entry and is shipped over by train.

I believe our Spartanburg built vehicles are shipped via Ro-Ro to Tacoma WA and then brought up, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

It's been sitting at the Halifax port since March 18th, so I'm hoping it will get on a train and start covering some ground soon! I have an ETA of April 25th, an entire month after the car landed in Halifax.

[xraymd]

vesselfinder has it arriving on the 6th also.

NOCC doesn’t have anywhere near as much info online as Wallenius Wilhelmsen or K-line. They don’t even publish a sailing schedule.

I’m thinking NMT must be the management company. They say 4/8.

[vicfalc09]

Freedom Ace is scheduled to dock this morning in NYC. Mine and a couple others here are on that vessel.

[Kenny C]

AWESOME!!!!

[xraymd]

We are so close!

Come on BMW, when is the release date?

[BigSky702]

Lol!! Congrats guys!! Kind of eclipses my findings:

Praying I’m next on Integrity. Looks like some movement at the port,:
