Is there a way for us to tell which ship the cars will be on?

I suspect the Courage will be especially cautious at this point. I run a boat in the GOM and that's how it goes here. We try to avoid repeating the same mistakes. It attracts too much attention!:biggrin:

yes, i think your dealership will know

So, if my car is going into production on February 6th, how long does it take to be produced and then delivered to the dock, i.e., is there a way that my vehicle could be on one of the latter ships shown above? Thanks!

I asked my dealer to confirm Procuction Completion and he replied:

Yes indeed! BMW production system says your car is currently in STATUS 155 “Assembly finish/quality check”.
The next step is for it to be turned over to transportation.
It will then be moved to a Port in Germany.
Then placed on a ship. I will have the ship’s name and captain’s name, bill of lading number, and more info when that happens.
I’ll keep you informed.

[Dave]

Nice!


My dealer just left me voice mail with similar info

[Dave]

anyone have the ships name yet?

i bet it will be the liberty ship


woooot!

[larryn]

Izzodesh, that schedule might be due for an update, since the Courage was the one that ran into rough seas and trashed all of those cars. It was delayed at ports to clean out the mess. Also, I would assume that must've been some damage to the hold, with all of those cars flipping around. I don't think it will be ready for another run on February 1st.

I am 99% sure we will all be on the same boat. :drinking:

[mikeo]

I'm at Bremerhaven and have been assigned to the shipping company. Should know what ship in the next few days. Of course I'm going to the Left Coast (Port Hueneme).

[ChrisK]

:iono:

Nuts I forgot about East Coast vs. West Coast.

[larryn]

:drinking:I'll prob be on the same boat though...

[ChrisK]

Yup, our cars are keeping each other company.

No PCD after all, mikeo?

[mikeo]

Well cracka, since we will not be getting them until March 22nd or after and I would have to drive from South Carolina to New Mexico (with a couple of stops to visit family and friends, of course), it puts me home after a couple of Solo events I need to make. So I'll just take it at my dealers on the 22nd. I really wanted to do ED and the PCD was more or less a fill in, I'm not too disappointed.

[Dave]
