Anybody able to truck his car in Canada?

adamwod · 07-22-2005, 01:47 PM

Fellow Canadians, did anybody was able to truck his car using VIN number? Ie. thru this site: Wallenius Wilhelmsen
http://www.2wglobal.com/www/wep/index.jsp
or any other way (except dealer)?

adamwod · 07-25-2005, 09:14 AM

Just to let you know, yes you can.
Mine just came up on the system.

Let's stay in touch. I think there is a site that you can locate the vessel on its journey bu I tried the link and it doesn't work.

adamwod · 07-28-2005, 04:07 PM

Correct, it's http://www.sailwx.info/
Looks like the site is out right now, it was up couple days ago. Let's try in few days.

JVFan · 07-28-2005, 07:17 PM

Here's the ship Adam...

EvEr35 · 08-05-2005, 05:43 AM

Click on "Cargo Tracking", then "Auto cargo", enter VIN# in "Cargo ID" field.

EvEr35 · 08-05-2005, 10:00 AM

tought so. #vin showed up as invalid cargo ID so i just wanted to make sure i was entering the info at the right place since dealer tells me car has been shipped. I ll try again in a few days.

It may be here already. The Don Quijote landed in Halifax on the 2nd.

EvEr35 · 08-05-2005, 10:11 AM

Nah, build date made it so it was going to be shipped this week sometime. All this based on dealer of course. To bad bmw.ca does not allow us to track production.

Thanks again

Anyone know how long transit would be between Halifax and Ottawa. Ship is scheduled to hit Halifax port tomorow.

JVFan · 08-15-2005, 08:57 AM

All I know is it took my car two days to clear Halifax....and now 14 days to get to Vancouver.....twice as long as it took to cross the pond!

the*saint* · 08-15-2005, 02:12 PM

Hi guys, looks like i'm in the same boat, pardon the pun. My car was also on the Don Quijote; however, I'm getting little to no additional info from my customer advisor.

I'm shocked that it would take 14 days to go from Halifax to Vancouver but believe it or not, I was quoted the same time-frame and my dealership is in Toronto!

How's everyone holding up? I survived the last 2 months but my patience is just about up now.

JVFan · 08-15-2005, 03:22 PM

Mine is up...and my dealer is full of it I'm afraid...no block heaters for this car like he originally promised in the deal.

Also...this tire shimmy thing is scaring the hell out of me...

adamwod · 08-15-2005, 03:59 PM

Same here... Mine will come in on Wednesday (at least suppose to), left Halifax Aug 3rd, that's exactly 2 weeks. I should be able to pick up the car by Friday.

EvEr35 · 08-17-2005, 06:16 AM

Car unloaded from otello yesterday the 16.08. Anyway to track from here other than dealer or is this it in terms of tracking.??

swu · 08-17-2005, 08:22 AM

Alright!!!! Discharged at Halifax yesterday!! When can we expect the car in Toronto? Can't wait......

Do you guys know if our cars are in the August or July production?

the*saint* · 08-17-2005, 09:41 AM

JVFan, that tire shimmy is worrying me too. I attended an event in July where I got to test drive the e90 in various trim/option permutations at a closed circuit track and I don't recall feeling any shimmy. Of course, those test cars were probably in "exceptional" factory spec.

EvEr35 and swu, congrats on your cars getting "canadian citizenship". Mine supposedly landed on Aug 2 (discharged maybe on 3rd); however, I'm still waiting, albeit impatiently. Please keep us posted when you learn more about your car's status. Ii've been quoted the same transit time for Halifax to Toronto as JVFan has for Halifax to Vancouver. I'm no geography major, but i find that mightily strange.

JVFan · 08-17-2005, 11:58 AM

I just got word yesterday that mine will be in a few days early but I can't fly out to get it until the 27th....10 more sleeps!
