Anyone else on the Aida?

DavidMc · 10-25-2011, 03:57 PM

I have been tracking her. She stopped in Spain but appears to be on her way to Baltimore!

I plugged the coordinates into google maps and added a couple graphics. It's a long wait. It helps to track it.

Could someone enlighten me on how the hell do you determine what boat you are on? Lol. I guess I missed that section on BMWUSA?

Once you know the name of the ship, I really like this site for tracking. Only a two hour delay if you register for the free membership.

Right now it shows ETA of 10 PM Nov. 3rd. My CA told me Nov. 4th as well.

They said 10 days from Port to Dealership (Iowa). Does that seem optimistic?

November 3rd sounds better.

My CA said that cars that were special ordered go to the front of the line so i think 10 days sounds about right. I hope it gets to me before Nov 16. I will be leaving town for 3 weeks on the 17th and dont want it sitting at the dealer for fear of someone taking it...

SloPoke · 10-25-2011, 04:51 PM

I have a feeling I am on it. I just put in an email to my dealer. When did it leave port?

Mine landed in port on Thursday the 12th at 2:00 AM, car was released to shipper on saturday afternoon. Was supposed to leave on monday the 17th but didn't leave until wednesday and arrived Friday in Omaha (8 days). I picked it up this last Saturday. So if yours is anything like mine, you should see it at the dealer in 6 to 10 days after arrival.

you are going to LOVE IT!!!!

Nice graphic by the way!

Upon arrival your 1M will have covered already thousands of miles ...with only a few indicated on the odometer !

Bremerhaven which I hear referred to as "Bimmer Heaven"

burnsniper · 10-25-2011, 06:08 PM

When did you guys get on the boat? My 1M finished production last week but I haven't gotten the "boat" update from my CA yet.

Satalite · 10-25-2011, 08:04 PM

I believe mine is on that boat. Mine finished production 2-3 weeks ago and is headed to US.

My production was complete Oct 4. took 17 days before it was on the boat and then the boat didn't leave for two days.

So there is the possibility that I am on this boat as well (if mine didn't sit at port more than a day or so)!

DavidMc · 10-26-2011, 01:48 PM

So I checked in on the Aida. The first tracking site said "out of range" which isn't surprising. The second site seems a bit confused. It thinks the Aida is in Kyle, South Dakota and made really good speed getting there.

DavidMc · 10-26-2011, 02:24 PM

348 knots is seriously fast! Maybe they should compare the Aida to the 1M next. We've already done bicycles

LMAO!!! We will have our cars in no time....he he.

DavidMc · 10-26-2011, 02:33 PM

I did the conversion 348 knots is 400 mph

DavidMc · 10-31-2011, 11:57 AM

Aida update map! My VO 1M is getting closer

Jet Mech · 10-31-2011, 12:33 PM

I hope the car is strapped down good...it looks its going to fall off the front of the ship.

Are you still showing the 5th of November as a docking date in Baltimore?
