Looks like it's 6/6/09 departure 6/21/09 arrival or 6/17/09 departure 7/06/09 arrival for me (I figure my PC delivery will go through Charleston). My 128i is not scheduled to be complete until 6/3. Anybody think it will make a 6/6/09 boat? If not, my hopes of 6 or 7 weeks to arrival do not seem realistic. On the other hand, if it makes the 6/6/09 boat, I should have it in early July - maybe 6 weeks, possibly even less.

Jim. I think three days to make a boat is not going to happen, unfortunately. My car is going to be completed 6/2 and I do not think it is going to make the 6/6 boat. But there is always wishful thinking...

Nothing yet. I should have some more into by the end of the week I would guess. I realistically do not think I am getting on the 6/6 boat, but am secretly hoping. Any idea how long it take the car to get from the plant to the dock?

mine was there in a day. but once it is on a boat, it should take 17 days to go to the east coast

mine too took a day. btw, I just found out that my car is being chugging its way over to Charleston on a K-line ship -- as opposed to the usual WW. It sailed on 5/28 which makes it only 6 days from plant to boat. Estimated arrival in Charleston 6/4 according to BMW -- 6/10 per K-line schedule. Way faster than any WW ship!

Evice, are you sure your 128 isn't on the same K-line boat as mine? your car might get in earlier than you'd think

I thought BMW uses Wallenius Wilhelmsen for east coast deliveries..So I didn't check K-line.. Also, my status on the website switched to 'en route' about 20 hours after the ship left the bremerhaven port...may be it was on K-line and website lagged couple days...

I hope it is gonna be here soon or like you said with a sweet surprise earlier

I found another possible ship for those of us finishing production this week. First choice remains the Maerskwave leaving 6/6 ariving Charleston 6/21.

New option would be Talisman going to Baltimore. I do not know if my performance center delivery could go there, it is a pretty good drive between but I can hope. Charleston has to be around 4 hours from the performance center. I'm guessing Baltimore is close to twice that. It leaves Bremmerhaven (sp?) on 6/12 and arrives Baltimore 6/25.

The other one I found before, next boat to Charleston, is the Independance II leaving 6/17 and arriving 7/6.

The Baltimore ship leaves sooner but also moves faster so it is only 4 days worse than the first Charleston ship. Baltimore is probably a day closer to Europe too.

According to my CA EAT is 6/4 -- as you were told too -- but K-line customer service says 6/10 After that, the car will be loaded on a train to prep ctr -- 1 day.

for all of those who are painfully waiting for their ride and frantically looking for shipping boats, K-line is another way to go -- at least for the east coasters. Unfortunately there is no way to track ships/cars. That's what customer care told me today.

hope this helps relieve the pain

Mine's a 6/4 production. So I guess no hope for me to make the 6/6 boat.
