I'll let you know how it sounds at the end of this month.

I'm actually looking into HID for the angel eyes. There's a kit for E90's but
nothing yet for the 1's

SpacE82 · 03-31-2009, 03:49 PM

Hmmm, I would rather do HID for the angel eyes. I'll have to look into that.

I am also still waiting. Clearly I have missed the DP that sailed on the 28th. Hopefully we get loaded today on the Intrigue which would put us out to April 18th landing in Charleston...

I agree the wait is a killer. I have typed my VIN into the WW tracking site, with no new info obtained.

I also notice that NYK lines sails to Charleston from Bremerhaven, and their transit time is shorter than WW. Not sure if BMW uses them exclusively for west coast deliveries though.

Mine updated today to en route! I'd resigned myself to thinking it would be on the next vessel but I'm guessing the system just hadn't updated from when it got on the last boat. Hope it's the same case for you all!

My CA was out today, but hopefully I can get my VIN tomorrow!!!!

tjm129 · 03-31-2009, 08:22 PM

I spoke to a very nice person at the 1-800 number last week, and he gave me my VIN.

How long was yours waiting at the port? I really hope I'm on the one that left today.

I called this morning too and I'm still getting the same message "your vehicle is at the port awaiting a shipping vessel." I'm starting to get pissed lol

Call the 800 number and talk to a rep. They might a better update.
You car could have loaded to the vessel yesterday. At least you might be able to find out which ship it might be booked on.

RIbimmer · 04-01-2009, 09:50 AM

My car arrived at the port on a Thursday and was on the ship that departed the following Thursday. An earlier poster said he was at the port for five days. So it looks like you can expect to be in Bremerhaven for "about" a week.

BTW - I think the best site to track ships when they are in European waters is http:www.digital-seas.com. Unfortunately, this site doesn't cover Halifax or New York, so I've switched to http:www.marinetraffic.com now that my ship has reached N. America.

Mine has been there for almost 2 weeks, how long could she possibly sit there! She may catch a cold! I'm hoping my CA is playing a joke on me and I get a call this weekend, "Your car is in! Gotcha!" Wishful thinking right...

Phone still said this to me four days AFTER my ship had sailed. I hope you get good news soon!

How you find out that it was loaded and sailed?

I just called and this time I spoke to a person. She wasn't much help.

The web site updated before the phone system did.

SpacE82 · 04-02-2009, 09:31 AM

I spoke to a rep yesterday at the 800 number and she said that they can't see anything after its been released to the port of exit. Once it goes to the port of exit, they don't have any more information on it. My CA emailed me today and said it STILL isn't showing as shipped. I'm getting pissed, I hope I get on the ship that leaves today.

Oh, and a side note, a little off topic, but my CA also said that I would be entitled to the lower interest rate that was released yesterday.

Me too, I will be calling the 800 number all day and tomorrow. I asked my CA if he could find out whats going on. Hopefully he gets back to me with some good information/news.

tjm129 · 04-02-2009, 10:56 AM

Talked to my CA and I am booked in on the 11th of May for PCD, the number still shows as not shipped, therefore it must be shipping on the 4th on the Independence II, but they had not details of that yet.

some good news at least, although I wish it was not so far away...
