I used the link I posted just to get an idea when the ships were leaving Germany and arriving in the U. S.. I don't think that page will tell you which ship you are on, just what ships you might get on.

My status is still waiting for the trip to the port. It's kind of nice that you can get updates but it also shows us the speed of the process which is not what I'd like it to be. We move at this sort of pace for our customers in making them nuclear fuel assemblies but they are not normally as anxious for the arrival as I am for my 128i.

I am pretty sure there is a website used to see if your vehicle is on a specific ship.

Scripto, the 800 number says mine is at the port awaiting a shipping vessel, but I can not find any site to plug my VIN# into . Any ideas?

Once your car gets on a boat, your sales guy should be able to tell you exactly what boat your on

My car should be in Bremerhaven by tomorrow, if not tonight

I'm at the dock waiting for a ship, well my 135i is.
I hope it's the 6/6 departure tomorrow...or is that today in Europe.

My 128 vert is still waiting for a ride to the port. I think Germany is 6 hours ahead of us so as of 2pm Germany time on the 6th, after being finished on the 4th (not the third like was predicted), I still haven't made it away from the factory. This only matters if it influences what ship mine gets on, however. That and the entry into the U. S. seem to be the big potential waits. If both those waits are about a week, instead of two weeks, I can still have it by mid July (7 weeks).

My OC has been down for the last few days too...so I've just been calling the 1800 number more often. My car is the 25th production week and I was wondering if it's been taking everyone closer to 6 or 8 weeks for their cars to come in.

Anyone with a completion date around June 1 know if they are on a ship?

Possible Vessel Info

Finally got a chance to talk to my CA today. Turns out my car's on the Triton Highway, but he didn't email me the name of the line that's on. I'll keep poking...

K Line America, Inc.
Triton Highway

There's a shipping Schedule at: http://www.kline.com/KAMCarCarrier/S...g_Schedule.pdf
I was able to find tracking information at: http://aprs.fi/info/431201000

My 128i convertible was on a truck headed to the port when I called this morning - finally - it was completed 6/4.

It sucks.. My CA sent me an updated screenshot of his tracking system.. Car is scheduled to hit the port on 6/10 now... It was initially 6/5 on the screenshot.. I dunno what caused this delay. I can't take it any more.

My 135i was also built on 6/4, and the number said it was released to a carrier. Does that mean it's at the dock waiting for a boat?

No, released to a carrier means still at factory, waiting for a truck to take it to the port. Mine went to being transported to port yesterday morning and the status this morning was at the port. Mine was supposed to be completed in the build on 6/3 but I did not get a message that it was final until 6/4. So maybe it was earlier on 6/4 than some of you guys - or maybe it was really done on 6/3 and it took a day for that to be reflected in the 800 number status.

Real big next step is what ship. I think my next opportunity is 6/12 to New York (or Newark). If we make that ship, we would be in the States yet this month.

I got "being transported to the port of exit" today when I called the 800 number.

I would pay an extra fee to be supplied with some pictures of the whole production/transportation process of my car.

I think it means it's on some truck/train making its way to the German port.
