It takes a few days for the WWL site to update. And sometimes people report that they can never track their vin# even though they know they are on the ship.

Just know that if the OC website and 800# say you're en route then you are on a ship. It doesn't go to that status until a couple days after you're loaded onto a ship and that ship has set sail.

My 1 was loaded on the Falstaff May 6 at 10:00 am. The Falstaff is making her way through the English channel. Doesn't look like this is a ship that participates in the weather buoy system so will loose track of her very quickly.

I have sent an inquiry to the Panama Canal to see if they have her scheduled there yet (worked when I ordered my mini in 2005!). No response this time though.

Now it is the wait...wait...wait...and more wait game. The anticipation is part of the fun though!

Dan, that is too funny!! Ok, I have to agree:-) This is why I need the diversion of tracking the Falstaff... here she is today as of 12:00UTC:

IDBMW · 05-12-2008, 08:46 AM

I just entered my VIN on the wwl web site and I am on the Falstaff.

A little help here. I don't see a place to enter the 'vin' but instead it says 'Cargo ID'. Is that the same or I am sideways somehow? Here's where I'm at when I get the above information.

Go to the auto cargo link and enter your vin.

quattrocoupe · 05-12-2008, 06:02 PM

The Falstaff is making good progress at about 99 miles every 6 hours in relatively calm seas:

SDDoye01 · 05-12-2008, 07:08 PM

The Falstaff left Bremerhaven on May 6, stopping in ZeeBrugge on the 7the departing the 8th for Southampton. She left Southampton on the 9th making a bee line for the Panama Canal to arrive about the 20th. From There straight to Southern California arriving on the 28th in Port Hueneme. After Port Hueneme it is off to Seattle Washington arriving on June 1, then departing for Japan after that.

The Falstaff is a west coast boat. Your car would not be on it.

quattrocoupe · 05-13-2008, 08:16 AM

The Falstaff is making headway and is now averaging over 100 nautical miles per day...

quattrocoupe · 05-14-2008, 08:26 AM

Looks like the Falstaff has speed up just a hair, averaging about 103 nautical miles per day. Must coincide with the warming air temperatures

imported_Katera · 05-14-2008, 11:30 AM

I'm on the Sierra Nevada Highway on K-line. Can't seem to track her though. Better late then never for a week 17'er!

quattrocoupe · 05-15-2008, 09:39 AM

The Falstaff continues her journey and has been booked into the Panama Canal for transit on May 21. Looks like there could be some delays due to canal traffic though:

quattrocoupe · 05-15-2008, 09:54 AM

If you are able to track your VIN on the WWL site, you can enter the bill of lading information to find out how many other BMW's are on the ship with you. In my case, there are 642 BMW's on board keeping my 1 company.
