Thats alot of good info Justin. Atleast you know how it will be coming. As soon as it gets on a ship, I have no clue where its going and how its getting here LOL. Atleast I can track it on OC now. I am assuming though that my trip will be the same as yours.

Mine isn't suppose to be done until tomorrow. I haven't called today because I'm currently at the airport in Vegas waiting for my flight home. (had to attend a trade show the last two days)

My expected completion date is 4/18. I doubt it'll get on to any carrier coming to the West Coast before May. So I guess I'm gonna have to wait until June to get my car .

Actually, there are quite a few of us Week 14ers still sitting at the port. I completed production on 4/3 and I haven't caught a ride yet.

I really dont want to hear that there are still week 14ers waiting!!! That means I will have to wait longer. Oh well, I guess you have to look on the bright side. Since I will get the car later I will be closer to 30. Once I hit 30 the insurance goes WAY down. So I will pay a little less for insurance.

I am waiting at the port... have a feeling we ship tomorrow though.
I haven't been monitoring it too closely because of work, but I first heard my boy was complete and at the port on the 14th of april.

"Transferred to port of exit" as of 4/16. Making progress! Sounds like a lot of you are same day + or -1.

My WAG estimate for West Coast delivery:
On ship: best case 4/21, next best 4/28 http://www.sailing-schedule.info/pdf...nsatlantic.pdf
To Long Beach: best case 5/16, next 5/23

Not sure where Port Hueneme fits into all this, but it seems like a stretch that West Cost Week 16ers will see anything by Memorial Day. (Sucks for me since I was hoping to drive my new baby to LA that wkend.) By the time we get thru VPC and shipment to dealers, I'm thinking 1st wk of June, unless we get really lucky.

Damn! All you guys are ahead of me by a couple of days. I'm supposed to be completed today. With my luck I'll probably miss the last boat and won't get my car until mid June!

"Vehicle production is complete and is waiting to be released to the carrier" What does this mean? Is my car is at the factory and needs to catch a ride to the docks?

Don't use that schedule PDF. There's a web-site you can lookup up the current (often changing) schedules. Look up the "official BMW order tracking guide" on Google and you'll find the links. Currently, there are departures from Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme on April 20th, 21st and 25th, arriving in CA on May 15th, 17th and 19th. Then add an average of 10-14 days for VPC processing and final transport to your dealer. YMMV. My 4/15 completed car is *hoping* to get on the April 21st boat. I'm hoping for the same :-)

Mine is currently "being assembled" according to the 800#. Hopefully I can catch one of those 3 boats as well. However there are quite a few people from the week 14 and week 15 groups still waiting for a boat to the west coast. So it could be pretty crowded on the docks. I think the next boat, after the 25th, is on May 2nd so we could end up sitting on the dock for a couple of weeks.
