09 Waiting Transport

My 09 finished production Sept 2nd and has been sitting in waiting transport phase on bmw.com for the last week. Just wondering if I am the only one experiencing this excruciating pain or are there others patiently waiting for a boat

Sharing my pain helps

Thanks

Have you called the automated 1-800 # for the update rather than the WEB site?

My car was done the 1st week of Sept. It is now sitting at the port.

I would call the 1-800 number and use the automated system, you may have better luck with more up to date info?

You're not the only one. Mine finished September 1st. Still waiting for a shipping vessel according to the 800 number.

I called BMW NA and they said it arrived at the exit port on Sept 4th and it usually takes 2 to 6 days from there to get on the ship and for the ship to head out. Based on that they said it is most likely in the Atlantic on a ship and advised me to contact my CA for the latest status. I have sent him an email and am waiting a response...will let you know what he says as soon as i hear something

It is more that 2 - 6 days for some. My car's production finished on 9/3 and it is still in the "Awaiting transport" status.

Svencz, I know the shipping for you may be a bit different as I assume your car will be shipped to the W. coast?

There are several of us heading to the east coast who were produced the 1st week of the month, by the sounds of things the East Coast cars are already at the port waiting for a ship.

Right, different ship, but now our cars are waiting in the same port at this time, I suppose. Let's see which ship leaves first - I'll keep you posted ..

On NYK Hojin?

My 2008 128i was finished 8/25 (one of the last year1ers!) and was waiting for transport to the US West Coast from Bremerhaven since about 8/27. It changed to "en route" on the OC page two days ago, which was about when the Hojin left for Port Hueneme, so I think my car is on that ship. First-week 09s that were waiting for the same destination may be on board also. It is due to arrive there 10/5/08, so I will not get it until 3.5 months after I ordered it (early July)!
