As you can tell we are a little bit obsessive :roundel:

Bringinthewolf · 03-29-2008, 12:31 AM

Well at least I know why my car has not been assigned to a boat yet.

PhAzE · 03-29-2008, 01:46 AM

Well hopefully you'll make it on the MIGNON, then we'll both be on the same boat.

Don't tease me like that.

Shizi · 03-29-2008, 06:53 PM

The should power those ships with 135i motor with the TT! Would have been here (Jersey) already.

135iowner · 03-30-2008, 11:09 AM

Just aquick question here fellas. Once the ships leave Germany, they make a couple stops in europe then head west over atlantic. Does the ship go to Canada or the US first.

Bringinthewolf · 03-30-2008, 12:20 PM

Halifax first.

PhAzE · 03-30-2008, 01:21 PM

Anyone know how to track the MIGNON? I wonder if we'll even be switched over or if the ELEKTRA is going to be fixed by the the 3rd of April and shipped off toward Halifax. Wolf, do u know approx. how long it would take for a car from Halifax to reach Vancouver?

Sorry, not sure. The only experiance I have is with our Mini last year. It took 3 weeks but there was a rail strike on.

PhAzE · 03-30-2008, 02:31 PM

Hopefully there isn't a repeat of that anytime soon. My guess is 1-1.5 week(s).

djmBMW · 03-30-2008, 05:00 PM

FYI...I emailed WWL to see if they could provide any info. I'll let you all know if I hear back from them.

PhAzE · 03-30-2008, 05:41 PM

Thanks mac, hope they give us something.

PhAzE · 03-31-2008, 12:09 PM

Delayed another day boys, ELEKTRA changed to 04/04/08 for departure.

djmBMW · 03-31-2008, 07:19 PM

Heard back from WWL after seeing my email was forwarded to several departments for assistance and finally WWL office in Woodcliff Lake, NJ. I was advised that cargo was loaded onto Mignon voyage EX804 with an ETA in NYC April 10th. Not sure if ALL cargo was loaded since they were replying to my specific VIN number. If you want to try and call them, the direct number for Jessica O, Customer Care Team Member in Jersey is 201-505-4000 or email 2WAMCCIMPORTTEAM@2WGLOBAL.COM. good luck guys

PhAzE · 03-31-2008, 07:24 PM

Thanks mac, I'll email them with my VIN to see if I'm on that voyage.

PhAzE · 03-31-2008, 08:17 PM

On bimmerpost I read that peoples status on the WWL site has changed to be on the Mignon. Anyones status change to that site and voyage?

135iowner · 04-01-2008, 06:34 PM

I just got an email saying that my car also got transfered onto that ship. ETA to Halifax is April 8. Lets all hope for smooth sailing.

PhAzE · 04-01-2008, 07:11 PM

Who did you receive the email from?

Don't know exactly because i have never waited for a vehichle, but from my buddy's experience last year and from reading forums on here, i would guestimate about 2-3 weeks to get to the your city and then another 5-10 days before the car gets released to us. Hope i am wrong and it is sooner tho.:thumbup:
