Elektra!!!

PhAzE · 04-01-2008, 11:28 PM

Ouch, have you checked the WWL site with your VIN? Does it say your on the Mignon now?

135iowner · 04-02-2008, 09:24 AM

No it doesn't say my car is on the Mignon. The dam website is not updated. It still says the Elektra but the last date is March15. So its a little out of whack. But that email i got yesterday confirms i got on that ship. I tracked the Mignon ship and it is already headed across the Atlantic. YEH FINALLY!!!!

I read in the bimmerfest forum that all cargo from Elektra got shipped to the Mignon but i cannot confirm this as i only asked about my car. Anyways good luck with yours there dude.

PhAzE · 04-02-2008, 11:30 AM

Just got the email confirming I'm on the Mignon

How are you tracking the Mignon? the sailwx.com site is outdated with the position of the Mignon unless I'm tracking the wrong ship. Last entry for that ship is like 2007-8-24

135iowner · 04-02-2008, 12:11 PM

Ya sorry man, i haven't been able to track exact position of this ship but i know for it is sailing across atlantic as we speak. Go to this website
http://www.2wglobal.com/ and under tools click on "schedules" then enter MIGNON under ship name and this will confirm that this ship is on its way over. Cargo got offloaded from Elektra on March 30 and it started sailing April 1.

Hey I just checked in and love this great news! Do we know for sure if all the cargo got transfered off the elektra because i just checked the site and it still says I am on the elektra.

I would assume that most if not all cargo from Elektra got transfered to MIGNON. There a few people on this forum that got confirmation of this. Your best bet is too email this link with VIN and they will tell u for sure. Cheers and best of luck.

Ya that website is not up to date. Last date of elektra is march 15. so hopefully they update it soon. I honestly believe it is just a matter of time befor they finally do update it. No worries here cuz i know for sure it is headed in our direction.:thumbup:

reo5001 · 04-02-2008, 07:17 PM

Thanks for the update 135iowner! I will email to make sure. Here is to hoping!

PhAzE · 04-03-2008, 12:22 AM

I'm pretty sure all cars made it on. When I use my vin on the WWL tracking site it still says I'm on the Elektra but I received an email this morning stating I'm on the Mignon.

Bringinthewolf · 04-03-2008, 12:21 PM

phase, I didn't make the Mignon but I'm right behind you on the Fedora.
Care to share a train to Vancouver?

PhAzE · 04-03-2008, 01:03 PM

Hope we do! When does the Fedora arrive in Halifax?

April 15th :thumbup:

PhAzE · 04-05-2008, 02:01 AM

Mignon delayed another two days.. arrives in Halifax on the 10th of April now. Please let there be a train waiting!

eouak · 04-05-2008, 10:04 AM

how do you know Mignon is delayed? Does anyone know how long it takes to get to Montreal from Halifax?

eouak · 04-06-2008, 01:15 PM

Good news...it seems that Mignon is arriving in Halifax on April 9th...not the 10th...

Does anyone know how long it would take to get to the dealership in Montreal? Think I would have it by the 18th?

PhAzE · 04-06-2008, 05:45 PM

Oh for sure by the 18th. I think it will take the cars a week and a half to get across the country. The only two things I'm worried about is firstly if there is a train waiting for our 1ers and two how long the cars would take to clear customs. I hope to get my car by the 20th but thats a long shot.

eouak · 04-06-2008, 06:09 PM

my SA said it would take about 14 days to get into my hands but i think he was being very conservative, the lease on my audi ends the 17th....fingers crossed

reo5001 · 04-07-2008, 09:57 AM

Anyone know how long it takes from offloading in America to the actual dealer? In my case it gets off in New York and my dealer is close to the Philly area. Thanks!

djmBMW · 04-07-2008, 08:55 PM

I heard 7-14 days depending how backed up they are. Knowing we are on an "unscheduled" arrival and our window was missed because of Elektra failure, don't know what that means. I'm in Connecticut so about same delivery to Philly I assume.

eouak · 04-09-2008, 09:08 AM

Has anyone heard about whether or not the Mignon has docked in Halifax yet?

reo5001 · 04-09-2008, 10:02 AM

I just checked the port of Halifax website and gentleman, the Mignon has landed in North America!!!
