Drewnyc135,

The 1-800 number should be some what up to date? I skip asking for a live person and enter my production number into the automated system. Give that a try and see if it gives you any different info?

Our cars are in the exact same spot, I bet hanging out together before they get on the same boat!

According to the Wallenius Wilhemsen website, there are 3 North American bound ships leaving Bremerhaven on 9/16/08. They are the Patriot, Tamerlane, and Don Quiote. Another leaves 9/19/08, the Undine. I'm sure your vehicle will be on one of the 9/16 ships. I hope I at least make the 9/19. There isn't another till 9/25 if I miss it !!!

Morgie2,

Thanks for the info. WW shipped my other BMWs and I think our last car came over on either the Patriot or DQ, I'll have to check!

Alas, you will be on the briny sea this time tomorrow, and I'll be on a train, if I'm lucky. Well, I am psyched for you, it's been sitting at the dock a while.

:roundel:
How long does it take for you to get a vin #, also how long is production. Suppose to be picking up my ED 135 vet in December, I don't have a vin # yet should I be worried?

1. If I remember correctly, I got my vin about 10 days after I ordered. (I think can vary a little, probably a week or so).
2. Once your vehicle has started production, I believe it's only about a week to get finished.
3. I wouldn't be worried yet about not getting a vin. Your car will most likely start production a couple weeks before your pickup date, BUT stay on your CA anyway!! (It's what we addicts do best!!) :wink:
