I'm "on the same boat."

But thats weird: I thought the 800# is more up-to-date compared to OC. I hope its not a mistake!

shawshank772 · 04-29-2008, 09:53 AM

I am still waiting for a ship. My car was comopleted on the 14th. What a pain in the A@@

pgr135i · 04-29-2008, 09:55 AM

I'm on Turandot!!!!

I just checked my VIN on the shipping company's site and its there!

Here's the info:

Production Started: 4/14
Production Completed: 4/18
Loaded on Vessel: 4/25
ETA at West Coast: 5/19

That's gonna be a long wait :iono: but at least there is some progress.

Me waiving good-bye to my follow week 16ers that have made the boat!

:bangdesk: What I'll be doing while you're driving around!

Oh don't worry mate! You'll be on your way soon too. Besides, I am on the West Coast, so yours will be on the road much before mine.

So cheer up :drinking:

Thanks for the encouragement! We'll have to meet somewhere in the middle for a few beers one day!

Lax1bmw · 04-29-2008, 10:23 AM

No worries lacrosse, the car will be here in no time my friend.

lacrosse · 04-29-2008, 10:29 AM

Thanks Lax!

I'll be looking for you on the Staten Island Expressway as I plod along in my 330i enroute to my offices in NJ or PA.

Where is the Fidelio today?

lacrosse · 04-29-2008, 10:32 AM

A little off topic but does anyone know how many 135's BMW will build for this model year and how many will go to the US?

shawshank772 · 04-29-2008, 10:37 AM

I know that it is posted somewhere. Its supposidly only 2000 135is. Somewhere around there. Do a search and I am sure you will pull it up

jeremyc74 · 04-29-2008, 01:26 PM

I'm on a boat!

800 number and website both say the same thing.

No tracking available from the shipping website though.

Justin(OKC) · 04-29-2008, 01:33 PM

I am now in transit for both OC and the 800#. Still not tracking yet. I wish my CA would email me back with the ship that I'm on.

Woo hoo! I'm in transit too. Perhaps we are on the same boat. The 800 number person said my ship sailed on the 28th. I don't see any boats that were scheduled to leave that day though. :iono:

What a crock! My car was completed on 4/17 a day before yours and I'm not on a ship yet! How do these guy determine who makes a ship and who doesn't? Waiting sucks!

Yeah... thats totally unfair

. I didn't expect to be on that ship, knowing that there are others who finished before me and have been sitting at the port.

Dan203 · 04-29-2008, 03:49 PM

Sorry didn't mean to make you feel guilty, I was just venting because I'm pissed I've been sitting on the dock for 2 weeks.

Dan

mastermav · 04-29-2008, 03:53 PM

You should not feel bad, since we have people, who waited for 3 weeks for the ship.

lacrosse · 04-29-2008, 04:14 PM

Looks like the only week 16ners still waiting for a boat are on the west coast. And me, the guy that lives 50 miles from Port Jersey.

Dan I feel your pain!

MadisonOne · 04-29-2008, 04:32 PM

Nope I'm still waiting...complete 4/18, mine will be coming into Charleston...still no word yet.

But not a Port Jersey delivery unless your ship goes to Port Jersey first.

Here is to hoping you made the Patriot which leaves tomorrow (4/30). Otherwise the next ship stopping in the Tasco which leaves May-5 and arrives in Charleston on 5/21.

shawshank772 · 04-29-2008, 05:22 PM

It better get on that boat tomorrow!!! I am SOOO sick of waiting.
